Here’s a very sweet video of Laurel that Brian took during our Murphys Thanksgiving. If you listen carefully you can hear her making a clicking sound to call the calves closer.

We borrowed a few episodes of The Muppet Show from the library. Don’t you love it when your kids enjoy the same stuff that you did back when you were little?
A ghost
and a Star Wars guy
I got the ghost costume on Etsy. I just LOVE Etsy. The last several purchases I’ve made online have come from that site. Oscar’s costume was all stuff we had around the house. I was very pleased to see how proudly he wore it next to all of the other [...]
Anarchy…who are we kidding? Must be Halloween. Laurel is going to be a ghost for trick-or-treating tonight, but I thought I’d give her a day costume as well. How do you like this “Smells Like Teen Spirit” cheerleader?

She signs “bye-bye”, “all done” and “eat/food” (she also blows kisses & gives high-fives). [...]

Laurel has never [...]
Frankenstein’s Monster

We have deemed that Laurel Toki started walking for real yesterday. It must have just clicked in her mind that she could do it, and so she did it. It is not at all a bittersweet change, we are just so excited for her. You would be too, if you saw how proud of herself [...]
Don’t tell the authorities. Our kids have a little drum circle ritual going on. You can join in this after-bath, pre-bed jam session if you bring your own mojo. As you can see, clothing is optional.
