Snow Rolling

Always lots of fun to roll down hills, especially in the snow!

Adorable Hat

Tate is agreeable when I suggest we take a walk outside, even when it's cold.  Why?  He knows that he rocks his hat:

Tummy Time

Ashley and Adam try to help Tate with tummy time as often as possible:

On the Go

Tate is always on the go:

Another field trip?  Wahoo!

Tell me.  Where are we going?

Grocery shopping?  Again?  How much do Adam and Ashley eat???

Wake up! Wake up!

One morning everyone woke up smiling, so we snapped photos to remember the occasion.  Google even helped us with an auto-awesome!

Mitzvah Mouse

A+A like to participate in the Mitzvah Mouse program.  This weekend we made candles and decorated bags to take to congregants who are not feeling well or are homebound.  We had lots of fun!

Tate and Amanda

Tate loves staring into Amanda's eyes.  He loves the songs she sings to him.  In short, he loves it when they spend time together:

Ellie Sighting

Last weekend Ashley had a turn playing with Ellie:

First stop Wegman's

Making a castle at VinKari Safari

Ellie loved the slide

Then we ate dinner together

Getting ready for ballet class

Father and Son

One night we had a moment of (relative) silence after dinner.  It was just long enough to snap this one:

New Year's Baby

Here's definitive proof I'm behind in posting.  These photos were taken on January 1.  Thanks to Amanda for the cute top!

Easy Chair

An easy chair sets the mood for a family photo:

Grandma Visits

Grandma and Papa visited us a few weeks ago.  It was very exciting because they stayed in a hotel with a pool!  What more can you ask for?  Bad news is that my camera wasn't cooperating much and several photos were out of focus.  Google auto-awesome to the rescue!  Here are some snaps with Grandma:

Big Brother Advice

I'm sure this won't be the last time Adam helps Tate with a bottle and offers some advice/  Listen closely (Adam had a cold) and you'll hear him say that "Gordon starts with a "guh" (G) and Harold starts with a "huh" (H).  We've been reading a big Thomas book for the last few months...

Three Months

Guess who just turned 3 months old?  Tate!

What?  I'm how old?

My goodness.  Where did the time go?

Oh no.  This means Mom is going to take photos. How's my hair look?

It looks ok?  Then we're ready to roll the cameras, Mom.

Yeah!  I'm 3 months old!

We're gonna have a big party with cake and balloons,,,,

What was that?  I have to wait a year to eat cake?  What sort of celebration is that?

Hey Tate Bear, maybe you can find some chocolate Formulac for both of us instead?

Catching Up

The previous post saw us hit a new quiet milestone:  800 posts!  

The next few posts are a bit older but smile never expire.  Enjoy!

First Snow - 2016

Pull Up a Chair

Tate is getting ready to sit up and read with his big sibs:

Smiling Baby

Tate loves to smile!

Inventors

Inventor camp was so much fun!  Miss Luaren and Miss Sam are fantastic teachers.  

Day #1 we made working robots.  Day #2 (below) we made kinetic carousels and pompom shooters.  Day #3 we made working conveyor belts.  We learned a lot!

All Done!

Pudding cups disappear instantly around here...

Cozy Robes

Ain't nothin' better than a warm, fuzzy robe after a bath:

Zoo Lights

Each year the Stone Zoo puts on a fantastic night time light display.  We had so much fun!

Minuteman National Historic Park

Took a ride with the kids to the Minuteman National Historic Park.  Lots of fun!

Ellie on the Move

Adam was a helper at school last week which means he gets to play with Ellie over the weekend.  Here are a few snapshots of their fun:

a serious Adam-Ellie moment

Time to go home
