Portland trip on hold

We ended up not making it to Portland this past weekend because Nate got pretty sick. Thankfully he seems to be doing better. Ella also got sniffly, but we're hoping she won't get hit as badly as Nate did. So it was kind of a challenging weekend, but we're hoping for better things this week. More pics to come soon.

Creeping Cuties

With Halloween approaching, Nate and Ella are occasionally dressing the part. Here's a new video:



And some pics!

Weekend in Spokane

Here are pics of Nate and Ella snapped at Grandma and Grandpa T.'s house. It was a quick but great visit. We drove over Friday night and the new Mazda did great. On Saturday, Dave and Grandpa T. went to Pullman to watch WSU lose another one, while Karin and Grandma T. took the kids to Greenbluff. On the way home today, Nate was fussy so Karin gave him her cell phone to play with. Within minutes, he had managed to get an NFL V-cast going and call Karin's uncle.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Yo Baby

Nate and Ella are big fans of Yo Baby yogurt. Lately Ella has become especially excited (obsessed) with the babies on the side of the container. We can't get through eating our yogurt without screams of delight "Baby! Baby!"

Wagon Trainin'

Beautiful October Day here today. As some of you know, Karin and I LOVE this time of year. I've managed to fight off a cold and have a reasonably productive weekend, which included putting together Nate and Ella's first Radio Flyer wagon -- a generous birthday gift from Aunt Mary and Uncle Tim (thanks guys).

Nate and Ella really love it, and I know we'll get a ton of use out of it. I've included a couple of shots below.

Nate continues to push Ella in her Little Mermaid car while walking behind her. Ella made it up on her feet in her crib the other day, so I have lowering her crib on my list of things to do soon. Ella is also getting pretty good at smacking her lips for a kiss!

Hope you are all well!
