Season's Greetings from Portland

From Pioneer Square Tree Lighting

Some of the things I am thankful for.....

⁴ Where no oxen are, the trough is clean;
      But much increase comes by the strength of an ox.
       (Proverbs 14:4, New King James Version)

Moon Crawling Baby #2

Got this on video too.

Ian is Walking!!!!!

YEAH! Ian is walking. At his choosing, of course. I think he is teasing us. Our Nanny got a video of it on her phone and as soon as we figure out how to get it off, I'll post it for all to enjoy.

We got it......



Look, he's so proud!

Jadon counted to 12!

He skipped some cars in between, so actually had more than 12, but.... He continued to 15, 19 and then stopped. (32 months old)

Ian's Talking

Well, talking on a one year old level. He says "ma ma ma ma ma" and "da da da da da". In the last couple of days we have been able to discern "J-don" as well!

A Conversation with Jadon

Jadon "I want to watch Magic School Bus"
"When did I say you could watch it?"
No answer..... "You can watch it after snack"
Jadon "Yeah!".... (pause)
Jadon "I want snack"
