Liam's first bites!

It doesn't appear that this little boy will be quite as picky as his big sister...

Ice Skating!

It's been clear and cold for the past couple of weeks, creating perfect conditions for ice skating. Liam slept soundly in the chariot while we took laps and Elsa made her first attempts at the sport while holding on firmly to a 5 gallon bucket. This doesn't happen every year, but when it does, it is absolutely divine!

First Snow!

Elsa and Liam were pretty excited about the snow. Once it started falling, all Elsa wanted to do was stand outside and catch flakes on her tongue. On this particular "walk", she made at least 47 snowangles- I think we made it all of 20 yards. As for myself, I can't say I'm too enthusiastic about the prospects of wrestling two kids into snowsuits for the next 7 months....

Sunny Colorado

The kids and I got to spend a lovely sun-filled few weeks in Colorado in September. This trip was just what we all needed in order to fill our vitamin D reserves (not to mention some great family time) before the Alaskan winter sets in.

A beautiful day sunning ourselves the Colorado River!

Liam meets Auntie Boo!

The kids and I took many walks to the nearby park.

We did a lot of swimming outside, a luxury we Northerners don't often get!
