We're here!

So once again, I have a load of pictures to share. I only have a chance to post a few of them tonight, but wanted to do so before another day goes by!

Ricardo had MLK day off last week so we headed over to the Graham's house for a great day. We enjoyed a yummy lunch, tea and cookies and then bundled everyone up and walked to a park nearby. We ended up staying there for a few hours and had an absolute blast!! Ricardo and Luke played soccer with Diego, Oliver and Thomas for a long time and then we all joined together to play on the stone sculptures and leaves (pictured below).

Thomas and Marco enjoying their cookies together. They learned how to stab their cookies with their knives and eat them directly from the knife.

After several hours of play, we hit Starbucks for hot chocolate to warm our chilly bones.

Afternoon painting fun

Last week Susanna and Taylor came over for lunch and we had a great time!

A trip to Trader Joes. Alexia is carrying her baby in the sling that Auntie Paige sent her when Marco was born.

Today we did our school work by candlelight. It was delightful.

Marco had a blast with the play doh!

We had some visitors in our backyard today. I love this picture of the kids!

My three blue kids, all bundled up and watching a video together.

**Scroll back up through all of these pictures and notice Marco. Do you notice anything? How about the hat? Do you see that he has the hat on in every single picture? Yes, he wears it ALL.THE.TIME. It is 8:52 pm right now and where do you think the hat is? On his head! He even wears it to sleep. The hat has not left his head in 3 weeks, with the exception of bath time. It is attached to him and he is so very attached to it. My mom brought it to him in November and never imagined it would be such a hit.
