Still hasn't seen a single spider-man show or cartoon - loves him anyway!
Hudson got this truck from Grandpa Rosdil during his last visit - this has to be one of the all time favorite toys he's had. It seems to have so many uses!! And it's fun to watch him do so many creative things with it - he's got this crane pickup up all sorts of things!
Brunch with some girlfriends down in Santa Monica - great get away time for me!!
These babies are growing up…and I'm thankful I can capture moments on my phone when I don't have my camera with me! Such sweet personalities, these two.
My dear friend Sandra has a Holiday party every year, and this year I finally got to go!! So fun to spend time with good friends here in Cali!
This Christmas season we got to go see some of the fancy lights around the area, and the kids loved it (so did we!)! This picture was at Angela's house, after we went to see a neighborhood of light-filled houses. Such cute kids!! :)
This house has been so great to us for the last nine months. The backyard, fruit trees, dirt to play in, and lots of room to run has been just what we needed! I can't imagine staying home full time with them without this set up - we have used it to it's fullest!!
With Hudson in a public preschool now, we got to be part of the annual Holiday party! He did a great job singing up on stage with his buddies, and since i'm on the parent board I got to be part of the planning too which was fun for me! Both kids had a ball at the party - too bad they both got sick shortly thereafter!!
Hudson went with me to do some Christmas shopping - did so well he got a treat, which he wore beautifully on his face. :)
Trying to keep up with our date nights, we went to Andy's work Christmas party this year, in a beautiful house in San Marino. Andy got to meet some higher ups from work, and we got to enjoy a nice evening all dressed up and without kids! and as you see below, our children don't do "normal" on slides.
It was so great to have holidays with both sides of the family this year. Hudson got to play piano with Great Grandpa, visit with all his Aunties and Uncles, and it was great for Andy and I to see everyone too!!
That would be Andy, shorts and flip flops while everyone else is in pants and sweaters. :)
It was great having Pete, Anna and Kathie here for so long. Kathie went with us to check out Andy's job site one day - and it was so cold! But cool to see what he's doing and show Hudson the big tractors of course.
We are thinking about potty training Stella here in the next couple months, but you can see she is clearly already using her potty for other things!
This year we are having Hudson do some thank you cards (slowly but surely), and this was his first one. I didn't help him write any of it, and he did really well other than the Y being a bit rough.
Hudson's first stick figures…pretty amazing I think! He said this was mommy and daddy.

In mid-Jan we took the kids to the Los Angeles Science Center, and got to see the Endeavor up close and personal. There was so much to see there, it was great - and FREE! We will need to go again to see the rest, but it was amazing to see the shuttle and how large it is in person!
What happens when all you have is an older brother to emulate? You put socks on your fingers, a train hat and cape on and call yourself a super hero! Our Stel is so easy and willing to play, she is great at improvising and going along with Hudson's idea of the moment!And she looks pretty adorable in the hat too. :)
Trying to keep artistic juices flowing…Stella at almost 2 years old, Hudson at almost 4 1/2, and my hands.
