Happy new year!

We celebrated with party plates, fun hats, summer huckleberries on ice cream, and fireworks viewed from the back porch. Miles is still saying, "wow!"

Wishing you a happy new year!

Tamale fun

We tried our hand at making tamales the other day... Chicken mole tamales for the most part. An all day project for sure!



By the the end of my making, I had it down, next time will be smoother. There were loads of left over corn husks that Madelyn and Miles had fun with for the rest of the afternoon.

Skate party at Kelly School

Whew we had fun today out at Kelly School. Temps were single digits in town, but felt much warmer in Kelly with the sun shining on us. We poached the skates and hit the rink for a bit with Tate, Karsten, and families. Madelyn was able to leave her push-chair and move around the rink a bit. We took a sledding break, and then had a picnic lunch and some gym time afterwards. Tired kids, to say the least!

Busy December

Well, we've been busy, as evidenced by the lack of posts. Madelyn and Mama went to see the local production of Cinderella, and got to collect autographs afterwards on the stage. Miles had his 1.5 yr checkup... Still zero percentile weight (20 lbs) and 50% height, perfectly happy and healthy! We've been lighting candles for Chanukah and Solstice each night, and the tree is up. Theres been lots of fun conversations about where each ornament came from ( including some from Mama and uncle David's era). Here are some clips of Cinderella, our friend Ben over for dinner, Miles in drawing mode, etc.
