Birthday Festivities

Making Pizzas...

First Tri-cycle action...thanks to Maya

Andre is not so sure!

A gathering at Leslies proved to be most excellent. Friends, kids, food and music (thanks to the jam session on the banjos, guitar and drums)...Awesome Time.

The new toy...daddy learning the ropes


Our first bike ride this season happened today. We rode out to Grandpa's "Farm". Ian liked playing on the big boy toys and we made it on our bikes. What a lovely day out!

Hanging Out

Smelling the flowers...this was a new experience for Ian and he gave some great expression. Funny kid.

Thanks goodness for ELMO. These are Ians favorite PJ's and Elmo is our friend. He helps out all the time, helps make dinner, helps let mommy and daddy read or clean....Way to go PBS!

Ian is growing up fast...talking like crazy. My favorite saying lately is when we are at a restaurant and the food comes he screams "Oh WOW!" and always gets the waitress laughing. Maybe he will be a food critic or something...

He likes to eat whole items. Such as an apple. I took him skiing the other day and on the way home he demanded having the whole apple. Since I was driving I couldn't control that he ate the entire thing...seeds, core, stem. Here he is with a little more monitoring but he loves apples. He's starting to get angry when I break his sandwich in half or whatever...he wants the whole thing, none of that baby stuff!

Always Helping

DO not mind the steak knife...no harm done.

Spring Skiing...Is it too soon to say that?

Our lunch spot

Bean Pie

Family Time with an extra included

Cheese at the kids table

It is March 1st, we can call that spring

....Leslie and the kids came for a visit....A sleepover. We enjoyed their company...we talked work, played dice, enjoyed some beverage and went skiing. It was the perfect day outside and a great visit!
