Eating Fruit

Simon eating fruit this morning and unfortunately throwing some on the floor. It was already a long morning of not much sleep. Tired family.

Snow fun!

Days like today remind me how lucky we are to have Jenn as a Nanny. Alan and I are working from home, sitting on the bench up in our bedroom, and when I looked down I saw Jenn and Simon playing in the snow. They played with snowballs, chased each other, fell into snow piles and generally looked like they were having a great time. (I mean, I was working so I guess that's what they were doing. :)

These pictures were taken looking out our bedroom window down into the back yard. Love the reading/working bench!

Train Play

Simon still loves his train set. This weekend Alan and Simon were playing and Simon was a champ about connecting the trains all by himself. I am sure someone has said this before: He's very advanced for his age. :)

Pictures after jump.

Inspector visit

The inspector came this morning. He was happily eating cheerios in a big fancy bowl and then suddenly on his belly to look on the underside of the cabinets and pull tiny specks of almost nothing to put in the trash.

Slow train a comin' (aka Jake and Emily's Visit)

Jake Eberly and Emily Drees were in town last weekend. We had a wonderful and relaxing weekend of train playing, fort making, tea drinking, knitting, cooking and xbox. I guess that is why I didn't get any pictures of them with Simon - it was all just so chill.  

Jake and Alan awesomely woke up with Simon both mornings and let the Emilys sleep in. Here is a quick recording of morning play time from Jake, entitled A Slow Train a Comin':
