Since our recent move, we’ve been spending some time at the local neighborhood park. It’s a great park with a biking trail around it and many play structures. Here are some photos of our bike trip there yesterday.

Jonah shares a new trick!

On Saturday I took the kids down to Hayward Field as the University of Oregon’s Track and Field team held an event before their meet that was just for kids. The youngest advertised age bracket was ages 5-6, but they pretty much let all kids that could walk and follow directions the chance to participate. Below are some photos of the event and when I have time, I plan on putting a short video together of some of the events. Even in the northwest rain a good time was had by all.
Many baseball games in October. Our weather stayed nice through much of the fall, so the kids got to practice lots of hitting. Nora’s really getting the hang of it and has a pretty ferocious swing.
Step and… SWING!!
Playing with a jump rope
Tic tac toe with friends
Nora chalks up her nose instead.
Hm. That jacket allllmost fits, Jonah.
Silly sticker hand
Big web climber!
Swinging at the park
Biking with a buddy
We had an oatmeal and bagel breakfast at Nora’s most favorite frozen yogurt shop, and I let her sneak a tiny sample. For breakfast! She thought this was crazy and hilarious! :)
Super silverware helper
Working on a cardboard rocketship project
Navigating with library books
New snowman jammies!
Must be October. The kids are happily doing art projects while the parents watch debates.
Fake sleepers
And super exciting! Nora learned to write her name all by herself!
Then she wanted to try everyone’s names.
So so proud of herself!!!
Getting back on track with pictures… here are some from back in September.
The weather was still great. Lots of time outside.
Jonah learned to pump the swings all by himself.
And they both use the swingset to ‘stretch’ before their big baseball games.
We rode bikes on some closed streets downtown. The kids loved following the yellow lines.
We found Saturn on the scale model solar system along the bike trail!
Ate corn on the cob.
Jonah started his kindergarten year of school. What a big kid!
Here we are at school, dropping him off for his first day. He’s having a great year.
He’s really into word games these days, especially scrabble-type ones. Hooray!
And he loves maps, too. Just like his Uncle David.
And still reads all the time. Even when he’s sleeping.
While Jonah was in school, Nora did some long (2 mile!!) bike rides on her balance bike!
She was sooo proud!!
She made it to the sun!
She got some new shoes, which she loved because “they have a red stripe like the Phillies are red!”
And she’s joining the boys of the family with strumming and singing.
She learns songs very quickly.
Finally, I had another birthday. My family got me my very own Phillies shirt. Awwww…. :)
