Say Cheese!

...grilled cheese, sure to please.

Tall drink of water

Hugo checked in at the doctor's today...he was 34lbs and 40 inches tall.  Last week Dash was at the doctor...he was 35.5 lbs.

We dressed our boys all lumberjack today

Very Canadian.

Building a tower and counting

Dashiel is officially a baby brother.  He is pushy.  Craves attention.  And wants to do everything Hugo can do.  Taking these two to the park is a team sport, Hugo is quick on his feet (run! there he goes!!) and Dash wants to go down the tallest slide with the big kids.  Even though it is mid February we had a great day of play outdoors, only to come home to more adorable playtime.

We were amazed at how well Hugo was stacking blocks. The video opens with us hollering because Dash the Destroyer was ready to take down the tower!  Notice Hugo's hair is getting very Kevin Bacon in the movie Footloose.  Thanks to our friend Bill for the vintage J. Crew duds that are even more Footloose.

Good morning boys

Wicked bedhead, wicked attitude.

Hugo Draws a Circle

Got this short clip from Hugo's teacher...it made our day.  More than just the control he exhibits during the act of drawing, it's also how he holds the pen; how he acts while he draws; how he acts when he's done; his level of connection to what's going on, during and after. Great job, Hugo!  Just so you know, we will be trying this at home.

Trip to Alcatraz

On Jen's suggestions I zipped off to Alcatraz this morning.  Wow!  When you walk into the cell block, one of the posters read:  "If you break the law, you go to prison.  If you break the prison's laws, you go to Alcatraz."  It was no joke.

In San Fran for a conference....got a chance to rent a bike and ride.
