A Lullaby for Tate

Ashley asked me if she could sing a lullaby to Tate.  Who am I to say no?

First Song

There's a song that Adam and Ashley learned at school last year.  I don't know the official name of the song;  I've always thought of it as the "Blink-a Stink-a" song and I love it.

First Family Meal

Snapped this one from my bed:

Big Pow Wow

It's exciting to learn that you're going to have a new baby brother in the family.  But it's another thing to meet him for the first time.  A very wise nurse, Shanna, suggested we capture the moment on video.  How did she know this would be perfect for our blog???

And then we took some photos of both Adam and Ashley holding their new baby brother:

Hello World

The citizens are thrilled to announce they have a new baby brother named Tate.  There are more than a few photos to commemorate the occasion; we've chosen a few to share.

The citizens are happy to report that they enjoy having a baby brother around the house.

Another Ellie?

Adam's class has an Ellie too.  Adam took Ellie to play soccer on Sunday so she could be a Super Soccer Star too:

Apple Picking Part II

Took a while to download photos off of the camera.  We're busy these days....  some of the photos are fantastic and are definitely worth the wait.  The citizens love to pick and eat the apples.  The cider donuts were a big hit too!

Playing with Ellie

Ashley received her first homework assignment last week:  create a journal entry about how she spent her weekend with Ellie Elephant, the class mascot.  Here are some of the photos Pam took of them having fun together.

Voice Lessons

There are two movies which reign supreme in our home:  Cars and Frozen.  These movies are so popular that the kids have started singing the theme songs.  Well, the chorus, at least.  See below and if you're not in an office setting (or even if you are), feel free to sing along!

Play Date

The citizens went to their friend's home for a play date last week.  Thrilling find of the day:  an indoor trampoline!

Crafty Auntie visit

A few weeks ago, one of our Crafty Aunties came to visit us.  We decided to stop for a quick lunch before we headed on to the Media Lab for a quick tour.  It was fun!

Trampolines Everywhere!

While Ashley was at ballet class, Adam and I went to a friend's birthday party at a trampoline park.  Wow!  Who knew places like this existed?  Adam had a blast:

Precious Smile

Ashley loves to smile for the camera.  Adam just makes funny faces.  So when I captured this shot, I just had to share:
