Little man

He is growing fast! We are loving every day with our sweet little guy.

Caught in the act

Will happened upon this sweet little scene the other day: Ella, who had covered Bianca in a warm, cozy blanket and given her a teddy to snuggle with, was reading her books.

Drawing and painting

Ella loves painting at her easel and looks very grown up in her "frock" (smock).

Here is a drawing that Ella did the other day of Grammie leaning out of a window waving two arms. We were drawing the mountain house where we'll be going this weekend!

Visit with Grammie and G(r)op

We had a great visit lately from Grammie and Gop (whose name has an "r" that is getting stronger and stronger, we'll see what the name becomes) and here are some shots.

Dancing in the rain

When we have a rainstorm, Ella wants to go outside and play. The umbrella here is merely a prop.

The kitchen sink

Liam continues to love his bath - and really got a kick out of his recent dip in the kitchen sink. Had to share these pics that his Grandma shot.

Poppa and the little man

Liam has spent some great time with his Poppa this week. Poppa loves babies and has really enjoyed getting to know grandchild #5 so much better as they explore gardens, watch people, and discuss life. They make a good pair and Poppa has made more than one offer to hang on to the little guy for the next six weeks (until we return for our trip to Alaska), which would make my return flight a lot more manageable, but I still think I'll pass...
