this week in november

My maternity leave is over.  I started work this week.  30 minutes a week tutoring a darling kindergartner.  So yeah, you can't really call it work.

Took the kids to see the new baby giraffe.

Tuckered Maddie right out.  Babies in snow suits ... gah!  So cute!

Fun new activity.  Dragging Maddie around the house on a blanket.

Remember how we like to take pictures of ourselves.

She looks so fetching in the arms of her father.

Maddie, where's your tongue?

When you have a good imagination, anything can be a cell phone.  Even a glob of playdough on a spatula.

Poor bear had a rough day.  Benj dunked him in a pot of melted snow and dragged him through the sandbox.  Kind of like a bad day at the beach.

We look alike, eh?

Busy busy!  Sometimes he has to take two phone calls at once.
