SEBASTIAN WALKING DECEMBER 18

Out of the blue... just when I thought he wasn't going to be walking by Christmas... he stands up and walks.

Just in case its not obvious by the surprise in my voice!

November

Fall has come and is on its way out... Our Japanese Maple tree in our front yard has the best leaves... couldn't help myself.

The kids in the yard with Buffy

We have a field beside our house that the kids love to play in... it always seems to be sunny there. Our trees block the sun from our backyard so we hang out in the sun in the field.

Rya was a big help for Dad hanging the Christmas lights

Rya wanted to paint mama's face... sure why not? She said "do like this" and pursed her lips out.. so sweet.
