September Pictures

September has been a busy month with Ailey going back to preschool and the rest of us getting back on a schedule too. Andy has been fine-tuning his "new" yard. We've gotten back into a church-on-Sundays routine too, with Ailey starting Sunday School and Marin and Silje trying their hardest to get used to the nursery. (::Sigh:: We'll get there eventually.)

Ailey, Marin and Silje watched Andy thatch the yard. He also reseeded the whole thing, so we now have a lovely green yard, and no longer because of the lovely moss!

Silje got herself "tuck!" (That's "stuck" in toddler speak.)

We made a trip to the zoo just a couple days before Ailey went back to preschool. I forgot my camera, but Eileen had hers, so we got some cute pictures. We also were lucky enough to be at the Snow Leopard exhibit when they let out the two babies. So pretty, and fun to watch as they scampered around! Ailey and Parker got to pretend to be baby snow leopards.

Silje liked Eileen's camera.

One of Marin and Silje's favorite things to do is color. We get out the big floor pad and let the crayons fly! Sometimes literally, of course, so they have also learned to love getting a wipe after we're done and cleaning the crayon marks off the floor. They're pretty good at it! There are no child labor laws against that, right?

Marin is pretty good at just chillin'.
Punk.

Cheese-ball. Cute cheese-ball!
Silje doesn't care how the food gets in her mouth, so long as most of it gets in there.

Happy Autumn to you all!
