I got a FROG!
Spring is the season of frogs around here... We have a seasonal creek behind the house that is home to tons, and tens, and thousands of frogs of all sizes!
The (belated) Corbin Alphabet
We experienced another rainy day in April with two squirrelly boys and not much to do... So we decided to embark on an adventure to capture an example of each letter of the alphabet. It worked! The boys enjoyed themselves (you can see their mood improving as the pictures progress) and we had a fun, FREE afternoon as a family. Enjoy!

February
Many days, I have the greatest of intentions when it comes to blogging. Then reality hits, life happens, and we move much further along the calendar than I have realized without posting.
Springtime has arrived in Redding, which we're all very happy about. We've received a lot of much needed rain, but when you live in a city with better than 90% of days being sunny 10 months of the year, 21 day stretches of gray rainy skies throw us for a loop. Thankfully, we've been alternating about 3-4 days of each for the last few weeks, so we're sure to survive the final bit of winter. And for all our Midwest friends and east coast family, yes, we have been having 70 degree days. Jealous? Come visit!
Andrew is still in preschool three days a week and loves it. He's made lots of new friends and it's interesting to hear who he's talking about and how he talks about them. My favorite distinction is between "Lindsey and Linsay spelled the other way". He's always surprising us with observant comments and fresh perspectives.
Peter is our little talker of the moment, working out words and sentences as fast as his mouth will keep up. He's been pitch/sound oriented from the get-go, so it's no shocker that he'll get every syllable of every word, no matter how long it takes. It makes for an interesting form of Peter-isms with long, drawn out portions that hold till he can get the next sound going. Example: "I go to Ned's hoouuww-sss."

Dwayne and I continue in our respective work, house, family balances, and are enjoying life. Apparently the parents don't have as many developmental milestones to talk about...

Corbin Faces
Yeah, yeah, I know... On again, off again posting is for the birds... But what's a mom to do? These shots were taken at our first family trip to Turtle Bay Exploration Park (Thanks Grandma Ski!) this December. We had a great time with the camera, were informed that flash photography was NOT allowed in the exhibits, and then we settled for taking some fun face shots in the cafe. Notice the live action moment with Peter and the ice cube. Enjoy!
