Recap

Once again it has been too long since we've posted anything here. 

Sorry. 

Molly has been loving school. In the fall her class learned all about orchestras and the different instruments. She even got to play some. 

The fall brought some good, old fashion leaf piles to play with. The kids took full advantage. 

After over two years we finally succumb and got Wes a haircut. He wasn't really a fan of the idea. 

I'm not sure how we did this, but the kids have offered to wash the floors a few times. We are happy to oblige. 

Molly's study of orchestras dovetailed nicely with the beginning of a new tradition: going to a holiday concert by the Portland Symphony Orchestra with Grammie and Momma. 

 

Molly has also been working on her drawing and recently made this self-portrait. 

With winter in Maine comes snow. With snow comes sledding. With sledding comes happy kids. 

For Christmas Wes got his own robe. 

And Molly got and engineering game. This was taken moments after she finished it. 

And they're scrubbing the floors again. 

We've also had a chance to try out our snowshoes. Nothing too fancy yet. 

Grammie was able to capture this shot of Wes showing off his new binoculars. 

In non-people related news we added two feline members to the family: Shackleton (tan, longer hair) and Ozymandias (tan, bobbed tail). They have done a great job settling in to their new home. 

When you eat ice cream you need to make sure you stuff your face in the cup. Obviously. 

Wes still enjoys going up in a wrap.
