Christmas tree hunting

This morning has finally brought the slightest dusting of snow to our neck of the woods. It is in stark contrast to the warm sunny day we enjoyed last weekend on our annual Christmas tree hunt.
















This tradition has become one of our favorites. Especially watching our families grow and change. This year was, by far, the easiest, in terms of enjoying ourselves and being present enough to actually have adult conversation. We look forward to the day when we turn the saw over to the kids.

On writing

The newest chapter in his novel 
He is really into hunting these days, a hobby neither Mr Bejos nor I have much interest in at all. We are going Christmas tree hunting soon. Perhaps he is preparing for that big hunt.

Artist in residence

This guy made a very cute cubist style turkey at school. Feathers and feet originating at the same point, while the eye hovered somewhere in the same vicinity. Upon further contemplation at home it appears that this artist was leaning more towards the deconstructed look.

In the woods

The last of our wood collecting expeditions are upon us. Today we accompanied mr Bejos simply to keep him company, leading us to an abundance of nature walks and selfies.

Happy Saturday

This little one insists on reading books anywhere, anytime. This morning it was in the midst of breakfast pancake preparations.

November??

How do these months keep slipping by?!? Just like that the mercury in our thermometers has plummeted and the wood stove is cranking out heat each and every night. 

Want my excuse for not posting, this time?? It has simply to do with no more space on my start up disk...a situation I thought I had resolved but alas, I have not. I think I have the solution but I am now missing my external hard drive. While I am still holding out hope that it is sunk really, really down deep in the couch cushions, I am starting to be concerned that the Montessori education we have provided our children is turning on us. I mean we do want these boys to be independent and all. And while we like the idea that our toddler throws away his own diapers, he has become a bit over zealous in his efforts. We have found plates, sippy cups, shoes, and sweatshirts in the trash. Who knows what else has made it past our cursory glances into the trash. 
Sigh

In the meantime you will have to enjoy blurry pictures from the iPhone if you want any updates from me. One of these days I will transfer pics from the DSLR into iPhoto and we'll have a rewind post. 
But until then..





That little one was not exactly cooperative in this photo shoot, but man he was awfully cute in that yellow fedora.
