What, indeed

Elias has been learning what to do in case of a tornado and what to do in case of a fire ever since he started at daycare. Every month they practice both the fire drill and the tornado drill. Recently, they must have been talking about it in class because Elias has been telling me that if there is a tornado, we go to the basement and if there is a fire, we go outside. Today he asked, "What if there is a tornado outside and a fire inside at the same time? What do we do?"...what, indeed.

Baby Greta

Elias, Ezra and I got to visit baby Greta and big sister Alex back in September. What a cutie. Sadly, we haven't had a chance to see them since. Two small kids means no time for anything it seems. I vaguely remember having friends...

Traffic Jam

One of Elias' favorite games to play.

Quilts!

My friend Kat made this beautiful (and super fun) dog quilt for Ezra when he was born. It has been up on the wall for awhile now, along with two kids' prints we got from Shari, a quilt made by Great-Grandma Ruth and a quilt made for Elias by his cousins. The room looks great. How sad is it that Ezra is almost one, and I am only now getting around to posting about the nursery. Even if I manage no updates in between, I promise to let you know where he decides to go to college.

BUT...

A Musical Life

Music is a huge part of our lives. We have been going to kids' music classes since Elias was 6 months old. This fall we went to an outdoor bluegrass concert in Fraser, heard Elias' music teacher Mathew's band, The Dinosaur Squad, play at a few free concerts (I guess you could consider us groupies...Elias played the maraca onstage), and went to a Justin Roberts concert. If you had been there, yes, that was me screaming, singing and dancing...but we go for the kids....really.
