Pizza Man

Anders helped dad roll out pizza crust this week. He's really proving to be a great helper in the kitchen. 

His concentration face. 

You've got mail

Anders got a package in the mail from Greta and Kathleen/Gaga today. He was stoked and tore right into it. 

"Reading" the card. 

Demanded to read them right then, right there. 

January, in review

Somehow this month got away from us. There were highs and lows, but no great photo documentation of them. So, instead, a collection of everyday moments. 

Learning how to use chopsticks! Pho on New Year's Day.

Ryan and Anders and working on learning the harmonica aka "harm." 

After reading a great book about skating (Henry Holton Takes The Ice), Anders tried his ice skates on for the first time.

Lunch stop at New Seasons in a busy Sunday. 

His "cheese" face is starting to look like a roar or snarl or something. Time to say something else.

Ryan and Anders joined me for dinner in the cellar at a work event last week. He got some screen time while snapping shots with Poppi. He also got a bunch of money from people, totally funny and fun for him!

Counting his money (not pictured, the $5 that someone gave him). 

Post bath time snuggle and books. 

Incomplete recap

Somehow we hardly took pictures over the holiday. I like to think we were enjoying are selves too much to think about it grabbing a camera. Most likely we were just lazy. But the downside is that we have not much to share. Mea culpa. 

We opened a few gifts at home on the 24th before heading to Kennewick for the holiday. 

Anders opening his gift from Ed, Beth and family. 

Audobon birds from Gayle and Charlie. 

Trying to make a shadow puppet of maybel on the ceiling. 

Anders building the house he got from Nana and Doodah with the help of his cousins. 

Very excited before x-country skiing with Poppi, Nonna, Margret and Sean on Mr Adams, the weekend after Xmas. The excited was short lived and he screamed in his pack for the few hours we skied. 

Being doted on while eating lunch after the ski, but still miserable.
