Little things

The littlest moments are often my favorite. 

On this morning we pulled up our chairs and cereal bowls to the window sills and had breakfast with the birds. A wide variety chirped in our yard, and we practiced identifying them with our bird watching app. We've identified golden finches, chickadees, swallows, juncos, robins, woodpeckers, starlings and bluejays all around our birdfeeders, and we have two swallows nesting in the birdhouse Joe Joe made.

 

The birds were busy eating that day because they knew something we didn't - the weather was changing. Snow! In Oregon, that's pretty rare. The kids were in heaven.  We went to GMa's and GPa's to get snowed in for a few days, then came home to more fresh snow to play in.

 

 

 

Alex is in the middle of tax season, so playing with Daddy is especially awesome right now.
He knows how to "check in" at home and really play with the munchkins.
Here he is playing a Minute to Win It game - blowing air out of the balloon to knock over the cups.

 

E! thought it was hilarious to let the balloon fly all over the room. :)
