Here's a few more recent fun shots...

John has one tooth.... you can almost see it there on the bottom. I simply cannot put it in words how sweet and easy and delightful and precious this boy is.

John got this (wildly green and varied shades of green) walker recently. He's taken about 2 weeks to get used to it and now it seems like he's ready to go pro. I think he can circle the house in a matter of seconds and he can get straight down the hall and in on whatever action interests him just like the nimblest boy could do on his own two feet.

Matt's well-constructed bathtub box house has lasted well.... It may be standing for a while yet. We sure hope so!

Matt has always enjoyed Clavin and Hobbes and we've had one book for years now. But for some reason it took Nai Nai (Grandma) coming to lock Isaiah's affections for it. He's deeply committed to this comic now. Thanks Grandma for the 324 times you read it to these guys... and for your sweet mispronunciation of Calvin's Spanish. "Que Pasa Senorita. I am el fugitivo...." even though we all heard "I am el fugito." Rhyme that with "Dorito" and you'll get it just like we all know and love it now. (Sorry Mom. I couldn't bring myself to say it to you when you were with us, but it seemed worth posting about now!)

An unimportant side note... It's cold at our house! The heat is managed by a government schedule here- the date it turns on and off, basically- and this late cold snap has made for a chilly few days for us here. My toes are tingly and John's wearing 4 layers of pjs tonight!
