Pirates like burritos for lunch.


Fly like Peter Pan!


Playing with water in the 78 degree weather.

Linus was the proud recipient of a Good Citizen Award at school. He is so pleased with himself. He told us that he wants to be a good citizen at home, too, and not just at school. What a sweet kid. He proudly wears the Good Citizen t-shirt he got.

February 2012

Opening his Valentines with Blake. We have started watching Blake when Lisa and Rich go skiing on weekends.



Playing with Matthew in the big snowstorm



He is looking like such a big kid these days.

He is growing taller and his face is thinning out. He is excelling at school and is a good friend. I have been looking into summer activities for him and he is interested in everything I show him.

Look how much taller than the leaf bag he is this year!

We loved looking after the kindergarten rats over Thanksgiving.

Playing in the slip and slide at Martha's and Bill's.

Linus and Grace kissing baby Ellen at the last jazz in the park picnic.

Linus is a pet owner! He asked for fish and we obliged, as Matthew isn't allergic to fish. The orange one's full name is Goldy Fishy Gold and the multicolored one is named Rainbow Colors Fog. Linus was starting kindergarten the next day. He said, "Will you take care of them when I'm at school? Talk to them and read them stories. They'll like that!"
