Hugs

Breathtaking!

I grew up in a canyon in northern Utah and thought I'd seen amazing fall leaves, however, fall in Pennsylvania hasn't ceased to amaze me. Formerly mundane trips to run errands are now filled with incredible colors. I snapped these while taking Tanzen and Makett on a walk around our block. Gorgeous!!! The blossoms in the spring, intense green in the summer, and vibrant leaves in the fall...truly a feast for the eyes!

Happy Halloween!

Ketty the penguin and Tanny the turtle...am I biased, or are they not the cutest penguin and turtle you've ever seen?

Our friend Henry made a great addition to our little animal club!

Biting

We were at Target last week and Makett kept sticking his finger in Tanzen's mouth. He'd crack up every time and they were both thoroughly entertained. The girls behind me started quoting the Charlie You Tube video. Right on cue Tanny bit Makett's finger and Makett was quite surprised! This scenario has been repeated several times since, with both boys participating as the biter.

This is a cell phone video, so it's grainy, but, you get the idea! I can't figure out why the sound is so off...it's better when you can hear Tanny's reaction, but you'll just have to imagine...

Sharing

Sharing can be tough. No matter what I have, my brother has something that's more desirable. Plus, all our favorite places aren't quite big enough for two...we try though!

It's hard to tell, but Makett is sitting in a clear shoebox bin...which he barely fits in, yet Tanzen is trying to fit in too!

Buddies!

We love playing with Taegen!

Our favorite place to play...

...is on our dining room jungle gym!

Happy Birthday!
