What we did when our parents went to Mexico

Thanks, Pam, for making the slide show.

Happy Valentine's Day

Dinner at Sophia's new house.

Carson wrote his name!

We are SO proud of him--and he was SO proud! I was working in my office, when Carson came running in "Look! Mommy! Come see what I did!!"

I hesitated, and walked out. And he showed me his name! We're still glowing about this one! YAY CARSON!!

We're home!!

Check out that tan!

When Mommy and Daddy are in Mexico...

Supposed pictures haven't surfaced, so we're not really sure what Aunt Pam let the boys get away with. But at least we know Wesley enjoyed eating at restaurants!





And playing at the playground....

Carson and Wesley's Very First Eagles Game

What a lucky pair! At only 3 and 1, these two bird-fans attended their first Eagles game (vs. the Falcons on New Year's Eve.) It was really cold, so we didn't stay long. We couldn't believe how much the kids really loved it! (Okay, I was lucky, too. It was my first time at the newish field.)

New Years Eve was completed that evening with dinner with Grammy, who volunteered to watch the boys while Steve and I went out to a party.

The big morning...

They slept in, again! Much to the chagrin of tired parents and aunts. Carson and Wesley didn't doubt Santa had come... and it didn't take long for them to realize they were correct!

(sorry, these pictures are backwards).

Twas the Night Before Christmas...

And the boys were happily wearing their new Mickey Mouse pajamas... that Santa brought early!

Tradition: Cutting down our Christmas Tree

Lots of walking, exploring and playing on a beautiful day. After hours of trekking through the "forest", we finally found our tree.

Hannukah Party/Our Shabbat King

The day of the Chanukah party at school, was also Shabbat (Friday) and Carson happened to be "Shabbat King" that evening. Here he is, with "Shabbat Queen" Caroline and their teacher, Rohna, leading the class in the service.

Santa's Cuties

Happy Chanukah everyone

Carson and I had a great time creating our Menorah today. And he's so proud.

Have a Happy Chanukah everyone!

We're buddies

Thanks Nana!

We had a great visit with Nana before she officially moved to Charlotte to join Pop. The boys really bonded with her and enjoyed every minute.

Magic!

The day after Thanksgiving, we were in for a special treat. With Pop-pop, we attended a showing of Mickey's Magic Show at the Academy of Music. Our seats were wonderful and we saw an amazing, and truly entertaining, magic show. Complete with some of our favorite characters.

Oooh oooh Eeee Eee!

Just monkeying around!

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Santa's here! Recently, we attended a "Here Comes Santa Claus" parade at our local mall.

Such a cute picture

I've been holding off on posting these, because we were debating whether to use some for our holiday card. Enjoy the boys' birthday/fall pictures.

New words

Wes' latest words: duck, ball, football, banana, milk, drink, cracker (which means either cracker or pretzel), bread and he can say animal sounds for quite a few animals.

He now loves watching Baby Signing Time, too. (Remember to click that link and shop!)So he's picking up quite a few signs: more, please, fish, cat, bird, water, milk. He also responds to even more than that, as he understands the meaning of most signs he's seen.
