Finn

Here is Finn in one of his feistier moods. He's still so tiny he fits into his 6-12 month shorts from last summer!

In a calmer moment...

Ni hao

Yesterday we tried out a new Korean/Japanese restaurant. Upon entering, Gavin greeted the staff with "ni-hao". Well, it turns out they all spoke chinese! Thanks to his two years of chinese school he was actually able to have a (very brief) conversation with them about his age. He was very proud of himself.

Knock, knock

Gavin loves knock knock jokes. Here's one he made up himself!

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Mac
Mac who?
Macaroni and cheese (his favorite food)!!

Self-portrait of the Artist as a Young Boy

This the first drawing Gavin has done that is more than a bunch of scribbles.

He's also recently developed an interest in photography. Here are some recent photos of his favorite things (his feet and his dog).

Lucia's First Story

Lucia told her first story earlier this week. Here it is, in her words:

- Gavin crashed [into the gate at the top of the stairs]
- Lucia [asked] "Are you ok, Big Brother?"
- Lucia kissed Gavin [sweetly, on the top of his head]
