artistes

Saturday artists hard at work.

hey, little ant

Life skills.

2 hr delay

Another 2 hour delay for school and kids seem to be handling it okay.

haircut

Natester gets a trim.

dinos

Super into dinosaurs here all of a sudden. Here the plant eaters battle a meat eater riding on their laser shooting ships.

snowy art

Mommy and Abby do some art inside while Papa and Nate dig in the snow.... Snowy weekend!

code

Abby has developed a complex knock / secret code system to enter her room. We thought we would see if blog readers can break her code!

wintery valentines

A blustery winter weekend on the Chesapeake Bay. Some golf course sand trap maintenance by Nate and Abby. Indoor swimming pool, outdoor s'mores, general hotel excitement. Happy Valentines Day....

yogis

Don't see this very often...Nate teaching Abby some preschool yoga moves. Namaste.

dance

These two were all smiles when they got home from the neighborhood daughters dance tonight!

Mommy and Nate had special movie night at home (Thomas!) while Abby and Papa were out on the town.

pretend

Here's Nate in a "gerbil cage" pretending to be a gerbil named "Apeena". Remarkably similar habits to the gerbils Athena and Aphrodite who we took care of recently. :)

Also conversation tonight with Nate saying goodnight:

Mommy: "sleep well sugar plum"
Nate: "you too peanut butter"

Four year old jokes are actually really funny!

art

The details don't come through perfectly in the photo, but love this picture Abby drew of a girl climbing a tree.
