Upstairs

I should always be afraid when the kids are upstairs and its quiet. Over the summer, Eleanor spent some time upstairs by herself. I was imagining her reading books and playing with stuffed animals. Instead, she was lathering my lotion all over herself. When she came back downstairs, she was covered. It was a miracle that she didn't slide down our wooden steps. I had to take pictures. I'm just getting around to sharing them now.

Sports Class

The kids are enrolled in an intro sports class at the community center because they are unlikely to learn about team sports from us. The teacher has covered football and basketball so far. Eleanor has opted out of most of the classes and watched Ian and her peers from a distance. Below is some footage from a recent class.

Still blogging...

...in my mind! At this point, six months after my last blog post, I have several partial blog posts started but I just can't seem to finish them. I am determined to finish them at some point because this is our family's version of a baby book. It, the thousands of digital images, and the hours of aimless digital video, are all the kids will have to understand their early family life. But until I actually finish those eventual treasures, I will post some recent digital pics and videos.

Eleanor and Ian love when we change their crib sheets
