Potty Time

Here's a photo of Lauren sitting on the potty for the first time!  

And just for comparison, here's Parker sitting on the potty back in the day!  I think Parker was around 18 months old in this photo, though, and Lauren is only 14 months old.

Class Photo

Here's Parker's class photo! He looks thrilled.

Crazy Leaves

We have a tree in our back yard that usually turns really bright red but this year it's kind of yellow and orange.  The leaves are EVERYWHERE, though.  Yesterday I raked them up and cut the grass for (hopefully) the last time this year and Parker had fun stomping through my leaf pile and stacking them up on the slide so he could go through them.

Throwing leaves into the air.

 Eating the lollipop he got from Rhonda after piano practice.

 Crashing through a pile of leaves on the slide.

MORE LEAVES!!!! 

 Lauren wanted to see what was going on so she crawled out onto the deck.

Practicing with scissors

Parker is really into cutting right now. In a related story, I'm really into vacuuming right now.

Old And New Videos

Did I ever post this video of Parker riding on a Home Depot shopping cart from a long time ago?  I'm not sure so here it is anyways, just because he's little and so cute!


And here's a video of Parker playing piano.  He started lessons last month and he seems to like it so far!

Lots of Photos

The order of these photos is jumbled up from the import thing.  Oh well.

Parker plugging his ears while a train goes by at the train station.

Hanging out at the train station.

Lauren loves playing with Parker's train table.  She likes to push the trains around and go, "Choo choo!" and then sometimes she also likes destroying everything within her grasp.

Parker practicing his cutting skills.  Next up: nunchuck skills, bow hunting skills, and computer hacking skills.

Lauren surprised by the flash on my phone.

Parker and Hayden doing some colouring.

The Arboretum in Ottawa.

Lauren goofing around at lunch.

After exactly 14 months of life, Lauren has finally figured out how to crawl properly by using her legs.  Hopefully she'll be walking by the time she's 7.

Lauren and her chaos.  She loves pulling all the books off the shelf and then reading them.

Waiting for a train.  But not THAT kind of waiting for a train.

Also waiting for a train.

Reading about Grover.

Playing some Candy Land with Hayden.

Practicing his clock-reading skills.

Photobooth time!

April was away the other night so after Lauren went to bed we had a Parker and Daddy movie night.

Toy Story.

Lauren stunned again by my flash.  She looks so different in this photo!

Parker and I playing some Candy Land today.

The train was a bit late.

Doing some homework and making some patterns.

A train!

Lauren is pleased!

Haha, Lauren is awesome.

Lauren fell asleep on the drive home from the grocery story the other day.  

Parker and I also played some Chutes and Ladders today.
