Where are the strawberries? 

Delighted to be outside 

Taran's Passport Photo

"Hey aren't you at least going to brush my hair first?"

Well it's official! We bought tickets for Taran and I to join Connor in Australia for a couple weeks of "holiday". It's so funny getting a passport for Taran. It seems such a grown-up thing for our 1.5 year old boy. Oh and yes this image does have that mug shot look to it. But it's a cute mug shot!

It looks like a halo...

... and some days I am almost that good

Playing with plastic on a very dry day

It was a hair-raising experience

Our friends Glenn, Christina and Hailey are loaning us this groovy toy. It's a blow-up car filled with plastic balls. The air is exceptionally dry in the tri-cities desert and the static charge does amusing things with Taran's lovely locks.

Puppy rides on Retro-Rocket

Taran is climbing on everything!

Taran's first encounter with snow

"What is this stuff?"

"Mommy pick me up NOW!"

Well this will be really funny if Taran one day is a professional skier...
Today we had our first snow fall. Taran as always was eager to go outside this afternoon. I bundled him up in his snow suit and he happily scampered out the door and down the porch steps. Taran gave me a puzzled look as he cautiously tested the snow underfoot and then. SQUAWK!!!!!! I tried several more times but he wanted nothing to do with that crazy cold white stuff on the ground. We'll try again tomorrow. :)
