Kate, in a dress Nana made for Jane, so cute!!

 

 

 

 

And we have this space under that stairs that is not super great for storing (hard to get in there).  Brian cleaned it out and instalted a light, and now my huge vintage little people collection lives there!  It still needs some work, but it's very fun! 

 

 

Very sadly, Colin was super sick on his birthday and missed a whole week of school.  When I took him to the doctor, he had a fever of 105!  Poor guy.  Presents made him feel better for a little bit on his birthday, but then back to bed. 

 

We had a little friends' party a few weeks later. 

Colin wanted donuts instead of cake. 

 

 

And we took the boys to a planetarium show. 

Such a fun boy!  So happy we have Colin! 

 

Brian had a gig in Southern California in mid January, that forced us to take a few days out for Disneyland!  We are total Disneyland suckers, we love it!!  Brian's brother Doug's family were there at the same time, but I somehow did not get photos. It was fun to see cousins!   Below, the kids got to train as Jedi's. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Waiting for Soaring Over California. 

 

 

 

 

Jane had a quite wiggly tooth, so waiting in line, we pulled it out!  Lucky the tooth fairy found us in California! 

We LOVE Radiator Springs (even though I don't love Cars so much.) 

 

I drove home without Brian to get kids back to school and let him work, and as I pulled in, a huge snowstorm hit.  We were very lucky to make it home safe. 

and below, Colin's Valentine.  It printed cute and was fun with the light saber suckers. 

 

All last year, we did a preschool carpool with Jane's cute friend Anya.  Kate LOVED her too! 

Kate loved to kiss Nana's birds! 

 

Oh that little face! 

Jane loves puzzles!  At preschool, they called her the puzzle master. 

 

I am missing the blog, not that I really miss the blog, but I miss the info I use for our family year books (that I've only done through 2010! Funny how baby #3 has stropped a lot of the things I could do with just two kids. )  I wonder if I can catch up on 10  months of this year? I do more on istragram now of the kids, but I realized I still need to take real photos.  Anyway, it's been am amazingly beautiful Fall!  Jane had fun this week running Colin's kite.   

 

 

 

 

And sweet little Kate!  She is so hilarious, talking up a storm and potty "learning" recently.  She loves to sing "Baby Mine" from Dumbo, and it is about the cutest thing ever.  Her hair has been a lot crazy, I cut off the back of her baby mullet this week.  I'll have to get updated photos soon, she looks much more organized!
