pre-Christmas singing extravaganza
Eva's holiday concert part 1. She is in the top left next to the kid in the orange shirt. You can't see her too well, but at least interested grandparents can see what the concert was like... :-)
Part 2:
Since Blogger seems to be uploading videos well today, here is the kids singing Jingle Bells. They never get to the verses, and they love it ... and it never ends! Yikes...

Getting a video error. Will try to come back to this one. Blogger did this the other day too.

Videos and Peter's Birthday
Peter reading his Cars book. He's obsessed with the page about Mater and Lightning McQueen going tractor tipping.
The kids playing ball outside. It has been a beautiful October here.
Playing with Peter's new dinosaurs: he knows a handful of dinosaur names now, and obviously Eva knows a few more, but he's catching up quick -- the only show they watch these days is Dinosaur Train.
Pictures from Peter's birthday and a few other late fall pictures can be found here...

Lots of early summer pictures from Tim
Early this summer we happened to have Tim (and his excellent camera skills) along on a couple of outing, as well as asking him to do a little informal family photoshoot for us at Juanita Bay park. As such we have a plethora of excellent photos to drop from him, so I stuck a whole bunch of my favorites on line. The other two outings were a trip to Discovery Park when Molly was home in MI and our camping trip with friends out to Shaw Island two weekends ago.

Eva's preschool graduation
Not great pics or video, but here's a sample of what they did at
graduation. These two videos were the entire graduating classes (preK
through 1st), and these are the two songs they sang. Eva's class (3 and
4s alone) also sang two songs, but I didn't get those on video. Peter
was pretty squirmy (very very very squirmy) and Jon was out of town, so
it was a bit of a challenge!
Eva's in the front middle, greenish brown swirly dress.

Springtime pics
Some springtime pics, although it was 90 degrees for a week, so some look like summer pics! :-)

Chicks and Chicks on Bikes!
http://s43.beta.photobucket.com/user/AloraDanen/library/2013/Chicks%20and%20Chicks%20on%20Bikes
New pics from the last two months. We got three chicks and we're planning on getting a few ducks a well in a few weeks to add to our flock! So far both kids love the chicks, and we've managed to not let Peter kill any, so I think we're doing pretty good! We also got a loaner two-wheeler that's a little smaller than Eva's Christmas bike, and after all her balance bike practice, she picked up biking right away. Took her about two minutes to be biking without training wheels, and soon after that she was even figuring out how to start on her own and get pedaling. Exciting! Once she grows just a little taller, she'll be ready to do her Christmas bike without training wheels.

Birthdays, Christmas and Comics
Hey everyone! And with this batch I'm now totally caught up to the current day with pictures from our camera. Most of the start is from Molly and Cormac's birthdays as well as Christmas and Christmas activities. At the end I have some pics from Emerald City Comicon, which Molly and I went to last weekend, and had a blast. My boss went with his kids (you'll see them in one pic) last year and recommended it as very kid friends. And it totally was, lots of fun costumes, artists and cool art all over the place, activities for kids, a gallery of arcade and pinball machines. Good times.
Ohh, and I started a new job at Microsoft and we moved from a church of 12,000 to a church of 25, other than that it's been pretty quiet :P

Winter pics
New pics from 2013 so far. We've mostly been sick this year, so... yeah. Hope that's over with!
Tuesday, January 29, 2013
So in general I just post pics when someone with a nice camera takes them. However, we do have our own little point and shoot, and a while ago I downloaded a chunk (late summer -> November) and put a chunk online quick.

Gitarzan
He's free as the breeze,
he's always at ease.
He lives in the jungle
and hangs by his knees
as he swings through the trees
without a trapeze
in his BVDs.
He's got a union card
and he's practicing hard
to play the guitar,
gonna be a big star,
yeah, he's gonna go far
and carry moonbeams home in a jar.
He ordered Chet's guitar course, COD.
Makes A and E
and he's working on B.
Digs C&W and R&B,
and me and the chimpanzees agree
that one day soon he'll be a celebrity.
Gitarzan, he's a guitar man
He's all you can stand
Give him a hand, Gitarzan!
