After Dinner Family Time

Auntie Tracy made Bella a winter hat. It's so cute and fits her perfectly. Nice job Trac!

Asher's First Art Class

Drea came over with her fun bag of art supplies and had a little one-on-one time with Asher. They were so cute together and they made some very nice pictures!

Good Times with Bren & Drea

Brent & Drea graciously babysat for us recently while we went to a friend's wedding. Bella loved Brent's laptop (and the Boowa & Kwala that was playing on it!)

Asher is playing passionately to a sleeping audience.

Special Instrument

Andrea made this special drum in one of her Arts Umbrella classes and passed it on to Asher. He's a lucky lucky boy....

Daddy Fun

Anyone who has been to our house recently will recognize this as Asher's lawn mower. However, on this night, it was the Dolly of Fun.

Cuteness

Cha-Ching!

Hello credit cards!

For The Silver Girls

OK. Here is Bella wearing the clothes you wore when you were little girls! (honestly, your mom and I thought they were cute then!) Look how happy Bella looks to be wearing the next outfit...

The Laundry Finale

In the end, it seems he likes to bury Bella in a big pile of clean laundry.

Asher Doing Laundry

Hey Laura, what's up now?! How old were your kids when you had them folding their own clothes? :-)

Bella in High Chair

Bella made it into a real high chair. (and not eating out of her car seat anymore)

Please excuse the very obnoxious noise in the background. Bella's food was warming up on the stove.

Reading books with Daddy

Eating Little Trees

This was Asher's favourite part of our dinner the other night. I love how much he loves to eat green things.

Double the Fun in the Tub!

Pink Leopard

David!! What do you think? Katie Biggar, my friend here, just gave Bella the perfect accessory to your dress! I couldn't help smiling every time I looked at her dressed in this.

Uncle David - Part 2

She knows a good shirt when she sees one.

It was a wonderful weekend!

Uncle David - Part 1

We went to Seattle last weekend to see our dear friend David Michael Bennett. "Uncle David" as Asher calls him. Above is the pile of presents David brought for him. When Asher was finished opening them, I asked him what we tell someone who gives us a present and he looked at Uncle David and said, "Happy Birthday."

We also got to meet one of David's close friends, Liza. She was lovely! Asher keeps telling me he thinks Uncle David & Liza want to come over. I assure him they do.

Learning to be in a Band

This theme might get old for a lot of you but there's nothing to be done about it.
He LOVES music.
He spends most of the day being a one-man band. (and he spends the rest "lawn mowing")

Brother & Sister

Bella plays so much better when Asher is playing in the same room with her. Even better if she can see him. The other day I was doing something in the other room and I told Asher to go and play in the same room as Bella so she wouldn't fuss. When I walked in, this is what I found.

Thanks for my CUTE outfit Grandma Unzicker! I look stunning in it!!

Asher told me he was playing Bella some music.

Mary Catherine Gallagher?

OK. This video is for Anne Sue, Annika & Maria. Watch closely because it's only a brief moment....but is my daughter the next Superstar?

Hangin' Out in the High Chair

The Edge

Dressing him up as The Edge was our runner-up costume. We did it for our own enjoyment the next day.

Little Johnny Cash

Asher was Johnny Cash for Halloween this year. Scott made him a guitar out of a cardboard box and Asher loves it! (of course)

Dressed like a Little Girl....Finally

Bella gets mistaken for a little boy quite a bit because I often have her dressed like a boy. So for Halloween, I dressed her up as a girl!
