Home for the holidays

While I was spending an inordinate amount of time at work the last few weeks, Kate and the kids have been making up for my absence by spending some quality time with friends. This included:

Story telling by Fred 

Hanging out (literally?) at the zoo

Learning about evolution

Playing Tortoise and the Hare

Turtle Power

Playing with a magnetic birthday present

Going out for St. Martin's Day
Henry was excited to talk about grandpa's profession (DAAGTAH!)


Up to no good

Although this looks cute, it sounded horrible

Our one shot from Thanksgiving dinner

The kids were some of the first to try the National Zoo's solar-powered carousel (it was cloudy but it worked)

Finally, after we got back home, Henry decided on his own accord to put on rubber boots while naked and proudly stomp through the house. I bring this up because oddly, at the exact same age (to the month at least), Elizabeth did the same thing. Elizabeth was also potty trained at this age. No such luck from the boy.

Such lovely greens in the front yard. At thanksgiving, we are only on the appetizer and Henry is falling apart. Unfortunately for all that just got worse and worse, a harbinger of an oncoming sickness for Henry and ultimately the rest of us. I completely missed the fact that the carousel was solar powered. Thanks for cluing me in. What great shots of naked kids in rubber boots.
