A much slower pace

Life has finally slowed down a little (compared to the crazy pace of this last summer)

Kim and I taught primary last Sunday and one of the classes that we got to teach was Nixon's. We also had Henry with us and he was a little bit of a distraction

Last Sunday afternoon these kids both decided to make something for their wonderful mother. They are so sweet!

 Google photos made us this video of Henry growing up. Besides the over dramatic music, the video is fun to watch

Henry is starting to actually play with toys and it is really fun watching him develop skills. Watch his face when he gets the ring on the stick

Everyone eats cookies with a headlamp on, right?

 Spending some quality time together ;) Just kidding

 Kim got a little decorating bug

This is our family motto right now

 Yummy breakfast

 Put a picture frame around that cute boy's face 

Some things remain constant in the universe. Like that fact that kids love rides in laundry baskets 

Also, the cuteness of Henry's dancing is getting out of control!

I also love how Mason says "dinosaur" right now

We woke up to really thick fog yesterday morning and I took my ninja sidekick down to the river to see if there would be any cool photos

 Unsurprisingly, when it is super foggy there isn't much to see except fog. This is the best I could come up with

This morning was much nicer. We were treated by a beautiful clear sky and a beautiful sunrise (as beautiful as it gets from our urban vantage point)

After the beautiful sunrise I was treated to a happy Mason. Keep in mind that Mason is three and three-year-olds are not often "happy" without bribery or meeting their terrorist-like demands. What made this even more magical is that last night while Kim and I were at the adult session of stake conference, Mason slept from about 6pm to 8pm because the babysitter couldn't wake him up. Let's just say he didn't get a typical sleep last night. Despite all of this, Mason was happy this morning and singing as he had breakfast (I had to repeat part of the video for this because once I started recording he didn't sing as freely, but you get the idea)

I wish Mason's mood carried through sacrament meeting but we will just focus on the good right now

Henry is getting so good at walking. Proof:

That's all for now.

Take care
