Merry Christmas!

Well, what a busy couple of days. The kids had an excellent Christmas.
We had lovely visits from Grandpa Doug and Grandma Jane, and Uncle Sean and Gina.
I can't think of anything original to say right now, so I'll leave it for another day.

Happy 1st Birthday Dharma!

I think someone had a good time on his birthday. If you look close enough, I think you can even make out some happy tonsils too. ;0)

Hello from Maya, who just awoke from a nap. Mommy and Dharma are having some good chats. This photo was taken by Ethan... if you were wondering.

And, D during his lunch... nice face!

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone.
We had a great time this year. Every year is great, but this year I wasn't prego. I really enjoyed myself with the kids. The weather was mild and DRY... first time in a long time.
So, if you can't already guess the costumes... Dharma is the Tiger, Maya is the Monkey, and Ethan is Mikey (TMNT).
We started our trick-or-treating in the afternoon at the local mall and we kept going until 7:30. I can't believe the kids sustained all of that ACTION and EXCITEMENT, but they did and we only had one tantrum all day... well now that I'm thinking about it more, maybe we had 2 minor breakdowns. ;)

Dharma isn't really sleeping here... he was anticipating my camera flash. Funny guy.

Maya the monkey found a horse to ride... this was during our afternoon expedition at the mall. They had a lot of fun running from store to store collecting chocolate bars. Note to self, next year avoid Mrs. Tiggy Winkles... that was where we had 1 of our tantrums. And No, they don't give out toy stuffed cats to Monkeys (no names used) on Halloween.
