Natural History

A cold day motivated us to head downtown to the Natural History Museum.  We were super excited to check out the Butterfly Exhibit.  Kingston LOVED it.  He was fascinated by the butterflies!



 Taffe was not as enamored with the butterflies....to each his own!  But, Taffe did love the fossils and the mamal exhibits.

 After a few hours exploring the museum, Taffe concluded that the giraffe was his favorite part.

Four.

Four years of being married to my best friend.

10 months!

Excellent ball player. He can seriously throw!


Trio of Teeth.  One big one up top which he loves to grind on the bottom two.

Mama trying to get him crawl

Sigh.  Can't I just lay here?

Snow day!

Kingston witnessed his first snow!

Later when it really starting snowing, we all bundled up and went out to play with our neighbor. Wish I could say I had a picture of Kingston in his snowsuit and Taffe running around out there, but let's be realistic!  Kingston screamed the second I stuffed his limbs into the snowsuit, like I was torturing him until literally the moment we stepped outdoors.  Then he loved it!  He was fascinated.  Big wet snowflakes landed on his lashes. Precious! An attempt to plop him down in the wet snow would surely have ended up in a bellyflop on cement... so no pictures.  

Afterwards, Taffe had a special snack of hot chocolate (which was a longwinded debate about whether or not he likes hot chocolate how he'd rather have chocolate milk, but they are the same thing, just warm, but I don't like warm things, etc., etc.) and popcorn.  
Excitement for winter to finally be here!

Drills

Taffe and Papa did some soccer drills while we were up in CT. 
Can never start too early training for the Olympics... or the Vienna Youth League.
