Xander and Clare

Teaching Clare to spy on the neighbors.




Always talking. Always.


Henry is three! Xander and I spent Saturday in Seattle
at Henry's awesome birthday party.


Xander had so much fun.


Best, easiest party game ever? Blow up balloons, hand them -- untied -- to little ones, and tell them to let go. Whee!


Xander loved the cake when it came out.
Wouldn't eat any, but loved looking at it.


Seriously, every kid became a zombie when the cake was unveiled.
Definitely a huge hit.


Watching Henry open presents.




The "Hungry Dogs" game was a huge hit with everyone under four feet tall.


Xander asked me to take his picture while eating an apple yesterday.


Clare has no fear. She went down all the slides at the park on Sunday afternoon and had a blast.


Cool kid.


One boy, maybe 3 or 4 years old, kept hugging Clare at the park until Xander politely told him, "That's our baby."




This was the biggest slide and she went right down without hesitating.
