Max Turns 4

This year for Max's birthday, we had a little get together at my Mom's house, and a joint party with Molly and Claire at Chuck E Cheese. Here's a few pictures of the events.

I thought this picture of Evie sleeping with a frown was funny, especially because my Mom sleeps this way sometimes and I've never seen anyone else do it.

Wacky Wednesday

Max's preschool celebrated Wacky Wednesday in honor of a Dr. Seuss book and all of the kids were encouraged to dress crazy. Poor Max, after buckets of hair products and 30 minutes of trying to make his hair stand up crazy, this was all we could make it do, and as it was, by the end of the day, it was totally back to normal!

Leo

Leo Smeagol Clark finally decided to join our family today! He weighs 8 lbs 6 oz and is 22.75 inches long (the tallest baby the doctors and nurses had ever seen)! He already seems to be a great match for our family. He's a good eater, great sleeper, and an even better pooper. Oh, and we have not actually chosen a middle name yet.

A Family Tradition

I just had to take a picture of the ritual licking of the utensils after I made a pie the other day. It reminded me of how as kids we had to fight Dad for a taste after Mom would make a pie. Max is better at sharing than Dad was!

Book Thief

Evie's gotten pretty aggressive about taking Max's toys lately, so Max found the safest place to keep his favorite books.

Leaves

Its February so I guess its time to rake the leaves. I wonder what it will be like to live somewhere where you do this in the fall.
