Santa Pics

What we did on our day off...


Mari and Sabine (8 mo and 10 mo)

Sean wouldn't visit Santa for more than 2 seconds. He gave him a high five and took a candy cane and ran. Santa was nice enough to give Sean a ticket to ride the train.

My niece Sabine

Sabine was already starting to walk at 9 months!

Halloween II

I took these off of my dad's camera.

This was at Joey and Sondra's Halloween party.


Halloween Night.

Halloween

We did not take any Halloween pictures this year so I took these from friends on facebook. Sean was Bob the Builder for Halloween but wore his fireman suit to a Halloween party.
Ben and Mari, ready to go trick or treating.

October so far

Sondra and I took the kids to the pumpkin patch today. I'll include probably too many pictures, since I know some decent pics are way overdue.


Sean admiring the train.Time to pose with the train.


In line for the train with Paige in her Alice in Wonderland costume. Sean was supposed to be Bob the Builder but he refused to wear his costume.
Here we are on the train.
Paige and Sean loved the hay ride.
Here is Mari kissing Stephen on Wednesday because she was so happy that he came home early from the dentist. She loves to kiss us all!

Sitting Up and Rolling Over

Just took a few pics with my phone after work today. I should be using the good camera, but the phone always seems to be handy.

Mari plays the drum (with a Tupperware lid).Sitting up in Mama & Daddy's bedroom.
She fell over but didn't seem to mind.
A second later she rolled over.
Getting ready for a bath. Sucking her thumb.

Peekaboo

Mari has learned to play peekaboo. I tried to catch it on video and caught the tail-end of her game. Sean helps out when he finds her pacifier on the coffee table.

August 31, 2010

For my last day of summer we headed to the Santa Ana Zoo. Sean got to play with his friend Mason. They had a ball!

What happens when Sean misses his nap...

Mari's Second Meal

Took a little video of Mari's second mushy meal. She already seems to have the hang of it.
