Classic Silas

Here's Silas napping in his new toddler bed. It looks to me like he took the "stay in your bed" command pretty seriously, like he was afraid to move. I'm sure that won't last. As usual, he's sleeping with a DVD case. DVD cases are his favorite toys and his cuddle and comfort objects as well. Here Silas performs some jumps. It may be hard for you to tell the subtle difference between a "tiny little" jump and a "huge" jump.


By this time he's been jumping for AT LEAST half an hour straight. You can tell he's getting worn out. He's having a harder time climbing up and isn't landing on his feet anymore. Nonetheless he proceeds to demonstrate his wide variety of jumps.

One of the kids' new favorite things to do is eat snacks in the windowcill. So cute!

School supplies packed!

Family Trip to the North Pole

The Tilt-A-Whirl, the favorite ride!

This is the only way Silas would ride much of anything.

By the end of the day I think Charlotte was tired of being smothered by Josie.

Polish Nail

Last night I painted Josie's nails for the first time. It was so cute. She calls it polish nail instead of nail polish. When we were in the process she kept saying, "this is so much fun Mommy." So sweet!
