We are starting our own market

Nanc is sick today and I went upstairs to tell her I had finally been able to contact her Dr. for a appointment. I came down to find that Emma and Ethan were setting up a grocery store on the living room table. They had literally removed about 20 cans and bottles from the pantry to the table.

Now if only I could harness all that energy in a "useful" manner.

Emma and Ethan in their car

We had a box from Amazon.com so I made a car for Ethan and Emma out of it. The dashboard and tailights, wheels only lasted a few minutes before they fell victim to Ethan and Emma, the rest of the car survived.

 

Emma reads in bed

Emma decided she wanted to read instead of take her nap.

Just love the way the flash highlighted Ethan's face

I love the way the flash from the camera highlighted Ethan's face and hid the background. Ethan was dragging their parachute around the living room, just before bed.

Emma and Ethan wear Daddy's Harley motorcycle boots

You have to start them out early if you want them to like what you do!

Ethan got our Daddy's boots and then Emma got in the game too.

Can't believe they can walk in them, they weigh a ton.

 

Emma and Ethan go with Daddy and Mommy to do the Polar Plunge

On Ethan and Emma’s birthday we all went to the Polar Plunge to support the Special Olympics. To say it was cold would be a understatement, but we feel so blessed that Ethan and Emma are so healthy we wanted to help others in a small way.

I think Emma and Ethan have caught on to Daddy's a SAHD

Well I guess Emma and Ethan have caught on to the fact that their Daddy and Mommy don't have the usual stereotypical roles. This was them playing at the same time. Emma is going golfing while Ethan goes grocery shopping. Emma is still in her sleeper since she got up again halfway through the night and then went back to sleep as Nanc was leaving for work and slept in. I am starting to think that Emma likes to get up to see Mommy before she leaves for work at 5:15.Ethan on the other hand slept all night, but woke up at 6:45.

Ethan counts to 7 as he goes down the stairs

Ethan can count to ten, but we only have 8 steps and he jumped off the second to the last one so 7 will have to do!
Not bad for a 22 month old says the proud daddy.

We went to visit Dave and Lena at Linda's house over Christmas break and Ethan and Emma had a great time with them. Here they are having a blast just before falling off the chair.

Emma in Daddy's Harley stocking cap

Emma wanted to wear my hat when we returned from a walk to the store and I must say she looks much cuter in it than I do.

I leave them alone with Mommy for 30 seconds and this is what I get

Heard Nanc saying stop that and returned to find this happening. Best part is she let him continue to do it. Who's in charge I ask!

A shampooing in the sink followed this.

Emma sledding for the first time

They loved going up and down the little hill where the shredded tree stump was.
