Forest

Today's morning walk in the fairy forest!

A girl and her dog.

These two love the forest. Nora always eats the grass and sticks. Bella likes throwing the sticks and making friends on our forest walks.

Exploring.

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day to all of our dear friends and family! We love you! 

Arrabella is 18 months!

We our so proud of our little girl, who turned 18 months old this past weekend on February 7, 2015!

Dear Arrabella! 

You makes us so happy! We love you so much! You are funny, like your dad. You love to sing, you love books and cats and you love your Nora dog. We think you will be our animal lover. You also love being outdoors a lot, we always have the best time in the fairy forest together. You are growing so much and learning so much everyday! Now that you have the walking thing down, you are really starting to speak and even count and your words are becoming more and more clear, it's wonderful! Sometimes you can be a little shy and you make funny faces that crack us up. You really love your brother and he loves you too. You are very independent like your brother. I love that you are an independent little girl already, dad and I wish to nurture this as you grow into a young lady! You are a girly girl and you know what you want and you make sure your voice is heard.  You are already asking me to paint your nails and you actually let them dry! Currently your very favorite things are your rose blanket from your God mother Sava, a leopard shark, and an owl. You love to eat; fruits, cheese, and sweets are your favorites, and crackers of course. Sometimes we call you "Toon" ( William was "Boon," but both nicknames came naturally and independently), Toonie, Bells, but mostly, Bella. You tell us everything - please keep doing that. You are amazing and we feel lucky to be your parents. We look forward to watching you change and grow into the lovely lady you will become. You are and always will be loved infinitely. 

Sledding Videos

Here are some quick videos we took sledding in Boulder in early January 2015. They are hyperlapse videos so they go very quickly.

Rollerblading!

William's hockey career has officially begun! Here he is rollerblading for the first time the other night. He did great!

Here is William and his buddy Jake, one of his best friends from school. 

Reader Boy!

William's reading has really taken off in the last couple months. He reads almost everyday. Here he is reading "Green Eggs and Ham" to baby sis. He can read the whole book with little to no help! We love the Dr. Seuss books! We are excited and proud of our reader boy!
