Natester doesn't love to smile for the camera, but these pics still are pretty cute.  Photos taken by a (very talented) parent of another child at Nate's preschool....

A balmy ending to the month of November. Seeing it out from our bikes at the tennis court.

building stuff

We are really into building stuff these days. Whether with Legos, our bodies, or plastic hangers and rubber bands .... (that plastic hanger was transformed into an ice skate .... inspired by yesterday's ice skating adventure)

first snow!

Very exciting!
