Flashback Friday- Scowl and Towel

Little Luke!

Rolling

Somebody is extremely proud of his new skateboard safety equipment. Thanks Nana and Papa. Both boys will have safe knees, elbows, and wrists.

Don't worry, he fell extremely slowly and on purpose just so he could test them out.

Milo is wearing the elbow pads on his wrists.

Today Levi said to me, "You know what we should get me? A ramp!" I managed to supress a shudder. The last time my Mom was here visiting she whispered to me, "I give him a year to fashion his own ramp."

Wednesday at Union Station

Today we met up with Kelly and Ben at Union Station with the intention of going to Science City. It was unexpectadly closed, however. Levi had been so excited to go that I was worried he'd be crushed. We were still able to play with Ben, see the model trains, and run around so in the end, Levi was not disappointed in the least.

His face lit up like this because the model train was coming through a tunnel, he was pointing it out to me.

Snack time at the cafe tables.  Three at our table had juice boxes and two of us had coffee.  I'll let you figure out who had which.

Three energetic boys enjoying the skywalk.

Look how proud he is.  He was very excited to be able to balance on the skinny lip of the edge angle like the big boys.

Who needs park equipment when you have exposed structural steel?

"I think I can, I think I can."

Acrobatics

The temperatures have been really cold. The other day I took the boys to burn off some energy at the Chik-filay play area. They were quite keen to have me photograph their tricks.

Do You Need a Laugh?

The boys added these cold weather accesories all on their own the other day. Milo certainly donned his cap with a jaunty tilt, didn't he?  If you look down near his right hand you can see a little bit of the pajama pants that he insisted on wearing as a scarf under his coat. Then he topped off the outside of his coat with another one.

Here Milo is doing the sign for 'help.' He wants his scarf wrapped around his face just like Big Brother's.

That's more like it!

"We're ready to hit the slopes, Mom!  Or the grocery store, I guess that would be ok, too."

Happy Day!

Our newest niece, Amelia Charlotte, was born yesterday afternoon at 2:19 weighing 7#8.5oz and 20" long.  We visited last night and were very excited to meet her.  She's a little doll.  Aundrea and Amelia are both doing well.

Here are some pictures of everyone proudly holding her:

The 'big' kids had a ball together and it would be an understatement to say Alison was in a hugging mood.  The boys enjoyed that immensely.
