Here's our pics from Christmas. Peter slept most of the morning while Eva opened her gifts and his and wanted to open ours too. But she had a lot of fun. She's mostly been playing tea with her Ariel doll from Bop and GG or moving/organizing/carrying all her toys around in bags. Sigh...

Love to everyone!

Merry Christmas from Bethlehem

Evangeline's Christmas Dance

Evangeline's interpretive dance to Christmas songs both cheerful and melancholy. 'Tis the season. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Our Thanksgiving pics

Here's our pics of Thanksgiving and Peter's one-month pics. I've filled up my picasa account and have mostly filled Jon's, so I'm trying an album here at Flickr. If anyone hates it or has any other suggestions for free online photo sharing, let me know!

We drove over snowy Snoquamie Pass to check on Molly and Cormac and their parents. Enjoyed a beautiful day-after-Thanksgiving in Kirkland, then went out Saturday night to the local botanical garden where 900 volunteers had hung the garden with lights. Ooh la la!

Karen went to help out with new baby Peter, then I caught up with her to meet Peter, play with Soccer Tot Eva, and enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with Laura, Jon, et al.
Made me thankful.

Peter Week Three Pics

Peter Week Three and First Snow

Peter Week Two

Peter Week Two

Had our first outings with just mom and kids yesterday. Spent lots of time out at MOPS in the morning and a long doctor's appointment in the afternoon. It all went well, but waking not one but two kids from naps to get the doctor's on time was pretty sad! Pics of Peter at two weeks.

Peter's First Week and Eva's Third Halloween

Pics from the last week. Lots of dress-up and baby cuddling!

A few more hospital pics than were posted on Facebook.

Fall Harvest

Some fall pics. We had frost this week so we had to bring in most veggies. Here's some pics of our harvest and some fall harvest parties. Eva's got a lot of costumes now, but she always wants to wear Cinderella to events! Our total harvest count is 187 spaghetti squash. Next year we'll go for more variety. :-) All that remains to harvest are carrots and beets.

Picture dump May - August 2011

Summer 2011

Yeah, so we have fallen really behind the family pace for posting picture. So I'll try to remedy that with a couple of quick album dumps in the next few days. Here is stuff from May to August.

Working link attempt? First link wasn't working.

Fall Pumpkins

Fall Pumpkins

Eva in her pumpkin dress from Bop and GG. She's also taking soccer lessons so she's into soccer these days, although they use a smaller ball at SoccerTots. Also, some watermelon eating. We're starting to get fall weather but it's still pretty mild and things are growing well, which is nice.

Eva's birthday and new furniture

Here's some pics from Eva's birthday, although there's just a few. We have more, but they're mostly little kids milling around eating cupcakes, moms sitting in the grass, and Eva opening presents in the evening all glassy eyed. Also, new pics of her room, which is finally starting to look like a room, with the tent I made her, and the rest of our new IKEA furniture.

Bop and GG Visit

A few videos of Eva singing and dancing in her ballerina clothes, which is pretty much all she wants to do these days:

Eva pursues a very liberal arts curriculum of art and dance ... simultaneously.

Eva sings her "My Daddy Plays Guitar" song.

camping at Sun Lakes

camping at Sun Lakes

Camping pics are up! Sorry it took so long. Ian and Liz, we tried to call you when we got to the Dry Falls visitor's center because it was pretty cool and very close, but no cell service there! Oh well... Next time, I guess. Too sunny for good pics, though, but you can see a little of what it was like in our last pics.

Sailing on Lake St. Claire

Claudia Mueller stayed with us when she visited the Ver Meulens last week to surprise Luke and his fiancee at their wedding shower. The Ver Meulens took us sailing on Lake St. Claire, and I posted a few pictures at this link, along with some nature shots I took in the yard around the time of Claudia's visit.

New fishing pole, new bed (sort of)

Eva enjoying her new Dora fishing pole. Haven't tried it in the water yet, though. She's better at reeling in than casting.

Also, she's getting used to her new big girl mattress, and we'll order the bed frame in a week or two.

New pics!

Easter and Things

We'll post videos soon. :)

new yard and house pics

A few pics I was prepping today. I will get some more house pics soon, now that we have more stuff on the walls, our bed put together (it was being repaired), and some decorations in Eva's bathroom. But here are a few to see...

new yard and upstairs pics

new video

Went on a shopping trip to Spokane on Saturday; one of our stops was a cheaper grocery store. Here, Eva and Jon discuss the receipt. I took some more house pics, too, but since then we've been finishing a lot of things and hanging lots of pics on the wall, etc. I'll have to take new ones now.

new house (and big fish) pics

Here's some pics from the new house last week. Sorry there are no upstairs pics yet, but there are three bedrooms and two baths up there. We're pretty moved in now, the kitchen is functional (we finally stopped eating fast food and frozen pizzas and made fresh pad thai with tofu, shrimp, and tons of veggies tonight -- yummy!). We're slowly clearing out all the boxes in the garage and putting them away in the house, and Jon even got to some yard work today.

We'll post more pics soon once things settle down a little. Then you can see what it looks like with furniture. I'm excited to actually put decorations on the wall in this place, but that may be a few more weeks. We decided it already feels more like home living here than the last place ever did.

Viva Italia!

I had to work in Varese Monday, so I took some pictures. My timing was awesome, as usual -- I was there to get our engines onto a military trainer made by Aermacchi; turns out their launch customer was (and was is the operative word) . . . Libya!

Caio, Dad

Salt: A world history

Like food? Like history? Read this book people....

It's one of the best things that I've read in my current non-fiction kick.

Photoshoot with Tim

Since Tim is our resident camera dude he offered to come over and take a few nice family pics for us the other day. Here our our favorite pics from that shoot (have about 100 more ones on the laptop). Starting to realize that with blue eyes Cormac actually has Liz's coloring. Molly looks like a ghost next to him. Lupe is going to be thrilled to finally have a Mexican grandchild.

new scrapbook pages

Here are some samples of the fun cut-outs I can make with my new Silhouette machine -- some new scrapbook pages from the last few weeks. I'm currently going to a friend's house on Monday mornings to craft while the kids play, so I've been getting a lot done recently. Almost caught up on pictures ... then what will I do for a craft? The machine and the software are intuitive and fun to use, although I haven't really had time to explore its full potential (downloading fonts and cut-out designs online).

Christmas with Cormac

Got some vids as well. Will have them up in a day or so. Tired, need sleep :P.
