These are some photos that didn't make it in posts this Fall because I fell behind, so I'm putting them in now. This first one may be a repeat, but I just love this Mary Lu and Dana series so much I had to put them in all together.
Juan's letter to Santa this year. We took photos before we sent it. He wants a toy kitchen, a worm farm, and a toy farm.
He also drew Santa pictures.
I don't think I've gotten a photo of her doing it yet, but Mary Lu is one of those people who puts her face really close to her paper when she's very engaged in what she's writing or drawing, or she'll put her head down next to what she's writing. It's so cute.
This Fall, Mary Lu learned to jump. Here she's doing it holding onto our hands (but jumping on her own). It's hysterical when she first was doing it on her own. She looks exhilarated every time, like she absolutely AMAZED herself. It's hysterical.
Juan often carries his "babies" around in a basket as a portable crib. Here, his penguin is covered with a tissue blanket and watching something cook with them.
Juan and ML like to watch things cook. Often they'll sit like this with their cups of tea.
I love this photo. It's a typical afternoon outside at our house. Juan is constructing some ingenious new design, and Mary Lu is moving the Earth (I swear I didn't put this photo up here just to say that). In the background are the remains of their picnic snack with John. That old, second-hand wagon is easily the most utilized toy we have.
