It was a wet and windy day ...

... and this is what we saw from our window.

The storm has blown over and blue skies are back, but the cold that the storm brought with it seems to be here to stay!

playing together

At 4 months Ian is liking the lamb more and more (and these pics are a little late, yes)!

He is grabbing for things, rolling from his back to his tummy, playing with his toes, babbling and blowing raspberries and bubbles. He thinks being tickled is just hilarious. :)

Ian recognizes us but hasn't learned about separation anxiety yet, so now is the perfect time to meet the little fellow!

Emma loved helping John wash the car. She plunged right in and "helped" rub the bubbles on, even after John was done. And she got wet up to her elbows, because, well, bubbles are just sooooo fun. :)

And Ian enjoyed watching. :)

our pumpkin

Emma was fascinated by the goo inside the pumpkin. At first she wasn't sure what to do about it, but then she kept trying to help. :)

coloring inside the box

Emma was sitting in a box just now, coloring on a MagnaDoodle that we borrowed from Grandad and Mimi. She loves that toy!

waving "hi" when I asked her to say hi to the camera

Emma Grace told me that this was a "tar" (star).

And this is a "titty" (cat).

we're back!!!

We have been to California and back, all four of us.
Quite an accomplishment.
Of course, years from now, when there are more of us, I'll look back and think, "that was so easy! why did I think it was tiring/chaotic?"
