December!

Welcome winter!

We've only had a few inches, but O.S.B has made his debut.

And who knew this town had so many holiday activities for toddlers and babies!?

Chilly horse and carriage ride (second of the WEEK!)

Al and Jack, photogenic as always.

Borderline creepy Santa-on-rooftop rescue

And not pictured: outdoor Nutcracker ballet performance and our 

all-time favorite mayor lighting the tree.  

All in the first week of December?  Small-city life has its charms.

N.B: Daniel got to participate in all these events too! 

Since is usually bundled in a bear suit riding on my back

 he doesn't appear in many outdoor photos.

This seems fun at first...

Saba is a bit impatient with her 3 younger bros.

Everyone, everyone, everyone has cake!

(from Daubes!)

Thanksgiving

Annie and Grace are Three!

It doesn't take much to entertain these days.

Hotel waterpark with three toddlers + baby + grandparents = perfect

Happy birthday, cousins.

No photos to document the damage that we did, at 11:00 on Sunday morning, to the Lakeville Perkins. Somewhere a very nice waitress is still recovering. 

Just Hangin' Out

Fall is here....and almost gone....

Future linebacker says: Go South St Paul football!

Oops - a few weeks old.

Daniel is on the move - video to follow.

Al's favorite: The "Pumpkins Wearing Overalls"

End of October

Where did you go, crazy month?!

Halloween parade in the 'hood.

Playing together

One last warm day (actually, a couple weeks ago!)

Hangin' with buddies:

Scary pumpkins!

Trying new foods...

Daniel grabs (and then chews!) avocado pieces.

Yep, same costume as last year. It works.

Finally, we'd like to congratulate our very own

Nick Punto and, ahem, Kyle Lohse on their recent achievement.

Here's to a long winter for Twins fans...

Tumble+Apples

 Warm weather, until today.

Last weekend we went to the apple orchard.

Pick-your-own honeycrisps $1/lb!!

Hooray!

It was bound to happen-

Al tumbled out of his crib.

Notice some asymmetry of the ears in these photos.

However, in typical Alistair style:

"Al NOT climb out of cradle again, Al tumble."

So, we've averted the toddler-bed switch for another day.
