The Arboretum

It's been a while and we've experienced lots of undocumented milestones.  Evy turned one and started crawling, Carter started preschool and we had a nice family vacation in Bend, OR.  Instead of waiting to write about them, I thought we should just start sharing our fun times as they happen.

Today we went to the arboretum to experience nature.  Carter was taking it all in lollygagging behind being curious and Evy just wanted to crawl around and put things in her mouth.  

Summer's here

Summer's here and the time is right for being outside! 

Carter had a great end to his school year and actually switched schools back in May to a Hebrew immersion preschool.  He can now count in Hebrew and often throws out a few words here and there to surprise us of how much he picked up during the 6 weeks he was at the Gan. 

Everly is starting to clap, wave, talk and move!  She can hardly sit still and has a mind of her own. 

Here are some pictures from the past few weeks...

Carter loves to climb especially in the tree at the "Lookout" park by our house

Exploring Gasworks Park in Seattle

Carter's dress-up box is getting lots of good use!

Baseball season is here!

Evy is loving music and dances to any beat she can get

 

Fun with our Bestie, Marie, in Oakland

We had a fun visit from our friends Mike, Mallary, Ivy and Elijah - instant Carter/Ivy love!

 

 

 

 

Our DC visit

Back in April, we went to DC to visit lots of special people.  Here's a few pics from our visit.  We miss everyone so much and can't wait until the next time we can all get together again.

Keep calm and drink margaritas

Our mantra for our first successful restaurant outing as a family.  Carter loved his blended drink, Everly couldn't get enough to eat, and mom and ema were happy that no one cared how loud we all were.

Curiously Carter and Everything Everly

Everything Everly...

Almost 8 months and I think I'm doing pretty great!
I am hard working as I prefer to sit and play with my toys. 
I am decisive because I can grab the toys I like best. 
I am healthy because I am eating a variety of foods and especially loving my Ema's French Toast!  I am hydrated because I love drinking water... out of a big girl glass (see video). 
I am communicative because I am always using my talking/screaming voice and currently practicing my "ma, ma, ma's". 
Shhhh- don't tell him but my favorite thing is my big brother.  He makes me laugh harder then anyone else. Now if he would just sit still for one minute so that I could hold on to him.

hello twenty-fifteen

This year is already shaping up to be the best yet....

We rang in the New Year with a visit to Bubbie and Grandpa David's house. The bonus was getting to spend time with our cousins Meyer and Essie.  Beach, Pool, Park, Lucy kisses, Lion Country Safari and lots of sunshine all made for a perfect week!  Until next time Florida...
