January

We tried to go see the new Mary Poppins movie, but it was randomly sold out on a weekday. So we watched the original at home instead.

Perry waiting patiently at my mom's check-up xray.

My friend Lauren brought us to Gilroy Gardens on the free friend day. We had fun, Perry was just making a silly face.

He loved driving the cars.

Scott loved playing with his friend. Then I got a migraine and we had to leave early, but we still got several hours of fun in.

Scott's name creation.

My little old man at church. He wears the same outfit every single week, but this time I managed to coax him into a jacket since it was cold out.

Watching a show on his rody horse.

Panrea gave rewards members a bagel each day in January, and Perry and I took advantage several days on the way home from the gym.

He didn't want to empty the dishwasher, but when I said I would do it he jumped into action. "Me do it" is his favorite phrase right now.

Cold weather doesn't stop us from having a cold treat.

We have several stops on the walk home from school that help move us along on dawdle days. Things like counting pavers, standing on the two big rocks, racing, pointing out the characters in one neighbor's tchotchke garden, etc.

The boys wanted orange juice, but it was pretty bitter.

We used the peels to hopefully deter the neighborhood cats who think our garden boxes are litter boxes.

Reading to himself in the car. He loves using Jonah's carseat because he can buckle it himself. I should really get him his own, but Jonah has almost outgrown it so I'd rather wait and move them both up.

Jonah's duplo creation.

Scott's slightly more orderly product.

We brought Amanda our bedframe one Saturday and went to brunch together by her house. This massive boysenberry pancake was basically cake. So heavenly.

My stormtrooper trying out some boots.

A magformer development.

Jonah decorated John's badge carrier for him so it'd be a little more unique.

Perry in a basket.

My aunt sent Jonah this umbrella and he couldn't wait for it to rain so he could try it out.

Perry couldn't wait to drop Jonah off and use it on the way home.

Another day, another bagel.

Sometimes we have a warm bubble tubby to just play in.

My uncle gave us bowling passes for Christmas that we used one night.

They watch the screen for the points rather than the actual pins falling down. They love the numbers.

Lots of snuggles for Oma while her foot healed.

We went to the library story time while my mom was at an appointment in Campbell. Perry went right in line for a stamp after it ended, which I didn't think he'd do without me.

We went to lunch and the wikistix they gave Perry on the table ended up stuck in his hair. That was unpleasant to get out.

Scott made two baby rockets for Perry to use so he'd stop crushing his big ones.

I took Scott for a walk one Sunday afternoon and he was just so handsome.

All three boys working hard to get quiche ready for dinner.

Jonah so excited to see frost on the grass. We really need to take them to the snow.

Perry's gotten really good with the magformers, too. He impresses me with his designs.

Scott thought it was funny to wear his jacket inside out and pretend he got a new one, so he helped his brothers do the same thing.

We watched our friends' kids for a few days while they had a family emergency. By the end of the second day I told them they could watch a show...I just didn't know it'd be in their parents' bed.

Little snuggly boy on the walk to school.

Mickey waiting for a teeth cleaning.

He likes to take selfies to send to Daddy at work.

I love my mornings with Perry.
