Beggars' Night

It took us a minute to find the sweet spot in our new neighborhood and it was pretty cold and misty, but our first Beggars' Night was a success.

PS - I forgot to mention that there was one guy who was passing out hotdogs. He was grilling in his driveway and he told us that he buys 400 of 'em. Interesting.

End of Soccer Season

Tuesday marked the end of the soccer season. Andrew played and I coached, and we both had a good time. We plan on doing the same in the Spring, and Mari may be joining us. I am not quite sure if she is ready to start yet, but I think she may be planning on it.

Andrew Turns 6

Andrew turned six a couple of weeks back. We had a big party the day before his birthday, in conjunction with his friend Bianca, who was turning five. This party involved a parade, skyline, cool weather, cool lighting, and cool people.

The day of his birthday was more chill. Soccer was cancelled because of the snow so we hung out at the Reagens' some and then headed to Mimi & Papa's for dinner.

» here are some pics from his actual birthday

Once I get some pictures from the parade I will post those.

Revolver

We used to deal with diapers, pacifiers, and baby monitors.

Now, it is soccer, school, and Capoeira.

Where has the time gone?

The Pacifier Fairy

Two years ago the pacifier fairy paid a visit to our house in Cincinnati to take Andrew's pacifiers. Elliot stopped using his pacifier when he was one, so the only one left was Mari. Heading into a long weekend we decided it was time for the Pacifier Fairy to come visit again. We hung Mari's pacifiers in a basket in a tree in the back yard and, sure enough, the pacifier fairy came again.
