December Dilly Dally

There were two weeks where Sasha had no school, Cat our awesome babysitter was away and I had a lot of interrupted time with the kids. I tried to come up with a new adventure every day even if it meant just going to the park and feeding the ducks. We had a lot of fun and I love the pictures that I took during this time. Sasha looks so grown up in this photo but I find it captures her girly spirit as she LOVES to dress up and accessorize. Thank goodness she was born with this b/c I could use some help! Noah's photos at the park just are adorable, his beautiful eyes really stand out and all of his little boyishness shines through. Enjoy the rest!

Foggy Day Hike

We love to hike however it's completely changed since we've had kids. Now our version of a hike is at max. an hour and we may go 2miles if we plan on each carrying a kid for at least half the time. Sasha always starts out strong and makes up some game we play as we walk which is fun. Then she hits a wall and just wants to go home, it changes in about 60 seconds and then we have to work at finding something to distract her from the fact that we still have halfway to go! This is a hike we recently did and she was the nature guide and taught us about the forest. She made it about 3/4 of the way before she hit her limit so we were pretty proud. 
Here are a few pics you can see:

Hannukah 2010

Hannukah this year was really nice because my parents came out to celebrate with us! Sasha had made a menorah at school and was incredibly excited about lighting the candles each night. The kids got plenty of gifts and our den is exploding with toys...time to donate or sell some baby toys to make room. Hope your holidays were enjoyable- check out some photos of our fun!

THANKSgiving

We feel so thankful to have such wonderful kids and really enjoy the beautiful place we live. We were so fortunate to spend this holiday with family in Los Angeles and really enjoyed our stay. Thanks again for having us! Thanksgiving morning at the beach near San Luis Obispo was perfect, between the beautiful scenery, sunshine, excellent food and playful time with the kids we couldn't have asked for more. Check out some more pictures of our trip down the coast:
