da boyz... da boyz!

 when looking through the pictures in this post it is easy to discern a central theme.  boys are pretty awesome.  everything except the whining is fun.  reading stories at night is super fun.  i particularly enjoy the tight dr. seuss rhymes, but there are some modern books, like duck in a truck, that are fun to read as well.

 zeke is enjoying moving around and exploring the world.  he loves to eat, loves to play his piano and loves to watch his big brother.  he will smack the food right off the spoon if you arent as fast as a snake.

 reading, playing games on the ipad and licking cars... all on the same bench.  now that's multitasking.

 our friends chris and yael and their new baby boy isaac stayed over last week.  it was great to meet isaac and to spend some time with them.  isaac and zeke had fun interacting on their own level and ty succeeded in not giving either of them a concussion.  chris and yael continued on to a ski trip at red mountain which was pretty stellar.  isaac looks precisely as you would imagine chris to be at that age.

 we have been experimenting with different grocery delivery services.  one of the side benefits: the frozen stuff comes packed in dry ice!  sublimation is fun.

 so is baking.

 today kylie made ty a fort in the living room.  after establishing it as his own personal space, ty proceeded to move all the toys in the room into his fort with him.  i had fun snuggling with him initially, but soon was crowded out by his possessions.  i hope this is not foreshadowing.

 when the fort fell apart it magically transformed into a birds' nest and ty alternately "flew" around the living room saying cheep cheep and knee dropped into the nest to snuggle and play his cars on me.  like i said... fun stuff.

 2 days ago the skies cleared and we visited the beaver dams on the chilliwack river for the first time this year.  it looks different with all the leaves gone, but is still beautiful.  ty loved ripping down the sand path and remembered taking his friends finn and coby there.

 and this afternoon saw us ripping it up in the forest behind our house.  it was wonderful shinrin yoku.  ty is faster than kylie now.  niko is still the fastest.  da boyz, da BOYZ!
