Bye, Bye Binky!

OK, so we finally did it! We have decided to detach our children from the binkey! Yes, I said we have decided to go cold turkey. Any bets on how long it will be before we, or should I say, I give in??? Kate has developed a skin reaction on her lip, so we went with that. We are on day two and so far so good! She even was able to go to bed with out too much fuss last night and only woke up once...I pray that continues, cuz we need what little sleep we get as parents. Don't tell Kate, but her brother still gets one at nap and bedtime;-) Well, wish us continued success!

Park Pics

It was a crisp cool morning at the end of October, and we ventured with my friend, to the Laguna Niguel Regional Park. A wonderful wooded park with streams and bridges, ducks and playgrounds. She captured our morning with the wonderful photographs. Enjoy her talent, and our cuties!

Beach Photos

A few months back we spent the morning as a family at Aliso Creek beach getting our pictures taken. The sky was a little gray, but the whole experience was great. Our photographer was patient, and she even brought some props with her, and well, Kate thought the wooden seagull was real. She was petting it, talking to it, and best of all, sharing her crackers with it! She has a things for birds ever since that day. Enjoy the slide show of some of our favorties!

WILL IS WALKING!!!!!

Well, it has been a long time coming, but our little man is a walking machine. He took his first few steps on November 6th, almost exactly at the 15 month adjusted age mark...not too shabby!!!! It is amazing how quickly he has picked it up and started really exploring his new view of the world, it is his preferred mode of transportation now...just about 10 days since those first tentative steps, he is walking from one side of the room to the next, using caution and his bottom to stop!

Enjoy the videos...and see the progress in just a few short days!!!
