March Memories

The cousins, sporting boxing gloves.

Just try and mess with me!

Maia's topknot.

My handsome man.

Liam drew things he felt lucky about. One of them is a picture of his mommy, knitting him a Joker doll. Which is very amusing, considering I WAS secretly knitting him a Joker doll for his birthday.

Maia is ready for picture day!

I took Liam to the skating rink, and look who we encountered. Xander and Anastasia. Anastasia is a pro at skating.

Taking a breather. But having fun.

Liam and Daddy are playing with a copter toy. It's kind of hard to see the copter disc, but it's there.

Liam helps vacuum. At least for a few seconds. It IS pretty heavy.

Oatmeal fail. I think Maia forgot where it was supposed to go.

More cute pigtails.

It's almost Saint Patrick's Day. We are shopping for goodie bag items for Liam's kid party, but he insisted on getitng a picture with this large pinata.

Maia has crazy morning hair. I couldn't resist the picture.

More snuggling with Liam.

They just love playing together, and I love when they get each other laughing.

Liam is happy with his knit Joker doll.

Maia holds her own baby doll.

It's a bit of a slow morning. Daddy managed to get partially dressed, Maia is still without clothes, and Liam didn't even make it out of pajamas yet.

We are wearing purple today, in honor of Dravett's Syndrome and our little friend Molly Renz.

Enjoying some playground time, at HHS playground.

Random moments from February

February is always the most dreary month, being at the end of winter, before Spring is here. But we try to keep things cheery at home. Here are some examples:

Liam drew of picture of the Joker and Harley Quinn holding hands, which is supposed to represent him and myself. I am going to take it to work.

Liam is showing pictures to Maia online.

Liam was helping me style Maia's hair and insisted on posing with the brush.

Maia's hippie hair.

The kids get a treat at Wawa. Maia patiently waits to pay for her ice cream cup.

Maia is all dressed for the snow.

There is a lot of it.

The snow has melted a little bit, so it's time for a walk.

And then some thawing out with snacks, in a comfy chair.

Maia insisted on cleaning her cold feet.

Happy Valentine's Day, from the Cuties!

Look at that sweet, handsome face

Don't they just melt your heart?

Cousin Cole shows off the warm alpaca mittens that I made for him.

Maia is totally chillin' out at Grandmom's place.

Watching a movie at home (the blanket was Liam's idea).

My shawlette seems to be the perfect size for Maia.

Liam and Maia skype with Aunt Dawn. Maia is showing off a book to Dawn.

More together pictures.

Maia helps to wake Liam up in the morning.

He isn't exactly thrilled.

Liam goes skating with his aunts.

Mom is happy, but Liam isn't so sure this is fun.

But he gives it a try.

Meanwhile, Maia spends some time exploring Daddy's face.

And then studying the TV...apparently this is comfortable for her.
