A million lights!

O is absolutely talking up a storm, he is so proud of his ability to finally communicate what he is thinking/feeling. One of his key phrases this season is, "Lights!!" which he proudly proclaims any time he sees a twinkling light. We went to Warm Beach Camp this winter to see the lights; there were so many he stopped his announcements!

They also had pony rides. This was a first for O and Fi, although A had been once before. Fi screamed her head off the entire first loop - the guy leading said it was fine, it wouldn't spook the horse. Snowflake did a great job, and Fi finally calmed down. Then she proceeded to request 8 more loops. We had to pry her off the horse.

O, on the other hand, sat on that horse, grabbed the pommel, and said, "Lets go!". We also had to pry him off the horse after 5 loops.

A loved it. She did a great job!

Family portrait in red lights....

Fi and A, best buds...

A brave enough to sit on Santa's lap. Fi wouldn't have it.

Roca Partida!

G and I took a trip to Roca Partida, of the Socorro Islands in Mexico to go diving. We took a boat 280 miles south of Cabo san Lucas and this is what saw....

Endless sky, flat horizon, and a tiny little rock formation.

We also found lots of sharks and manta rays and new friends and relaxation. It was delightful!!

This is what Thursday night looks like...

 Tickle fest. Major tickle fest.

Halloween 2012

For Halloween this year, Fi dressed as a princess and O was a penguin. Love this kiddos!!

Friends!

 Look at these two beauties!

Such sweet girls!

Building a fence with Papa

Time to build the fence. Wall is fixed, and fence posts sunk. Time to put the boards up.

O really wanted to help. Hammering. Holding nails. Cutting boards.

And then we had West Seattle Natural Energy install some solar panels!

Aquarium visit with Auntie S

 Our favorite place for a family visit! We went back to the aquarium with Aunt S and Uncle G -

We had fun in the touch pools.

And in the dome. Fi loves the aquarium!
