Butterfly butterfly

Here's a video of Kira at the library that I took a couple months ago.

What's not quite apparent is that there is a blue butterfly on the fake plant that she is looking at.

This is her pretending to be the butterfly.

cutest chicken dance...

The public libraries around us have been a great source of fun. The kids love going to the library and playing with the toys. They usually pick out a few books for Inessa or I to read, after which they will play with the toys.

Here's a video of Aidan playing with a barn toy. You'll see him moving a chicken on a slide back and forth. When the chicken is to left it clucks, but when its to the right, it plays this chicken dance song, to which he'll start doing this sort of dance. Its really cute.

This should be sufficiently embarrassing to Aidan when he gets older. Can't wait to show it to the first girlfriend he brings home.

hope you enjoy.

quick video...need to get them a driver's license

so they can ride tricycles on smooth surfaces.. they have difficulty on the street.

But here is a small video of them riding around in babies r us.  I have alot more footage but, its mostly just them riding around.

And thus it continues...a little order to the outside

Progress was slow over the last couple weeks. It rained for 2 weeks. Crazy.

But now the house is sealed. The roof is on, the windows are in, and the siding is going up.

Here is a picture from last weekend.
It shows the windows just being installed.

This is one from today.  They had a couple days to start the siding

Pumpkin picking at the fall festival

We went to the fall festival by by our house and they got to pick and decorate a pumpkin.

Kira picks the smallest and Aidan picks the largest one he can carry.

Counting... pullups

I took this video just before they started school. It was just before bed so the lighting is poor, but it shows them doing some counting.

I wonder what they are going to think of these posts and videos when the get older. Right now, they are very interested in seeing themselves. I showed this video to them and they love pointing to themselves and each other on the computer monitor.

Second Floor, Gone Up.

Here's a couple pics i took today.

Second floor is up and we were walking around on it.  Its looks really high up when there isn't a window stopping you from falling.

Staircase needs to be added, and the garage still needs to be re-built.  But the roof goes on next week, and the windows and siding after that.  The house should be sealed by in the next couple weeks...at least we will be prepared for the winter.
