Growing and Building

 P1090503

She really is getting big.  Her hair is getting long, she’s quite physically coordinated (here, she is walking on the edge of a low wall), and her vocabulary is expanding daily.

Speaking of getting big . . . can you believe Logan is almost 4?!?!  His creativity is exploding and he’s excited about learning all the letters/letter sounds.

Naomi wants to know if it’s time for the picnic yet, meanwhile Logan is too busy playing to think about food.

P1090549Come on Mom, only 50 more steps to the top of the slide!

P1090551 They have so much fun together :)

Yah, goofy fun like this.

P1090563Naomi’s working her cuteness—it helps offset the stubbornness. 

P1090575This was our first real beach trip of the season.  We celebrated by bringing extra digging toys.

  P1090579They cooperated very nicely on their construction project: building a duck pond.

  1. Question - does Camp Pendleton have beaches as wonderful as Okinawa? Guess you'll find out. Thanks for sharing your day of adventure - yes, the kids are growing much too quickly.
    Love, Mom

  2. I don't mean to look like a stalker...I know Patti (and Jake from Xanga from a long time ago....texasborn_texasbred). As i comtemplate a second child, do you think they get along so well because you are overseas and there is maybe more limited interaction with others their age (I am sure they do have some friends their ago and I may be completly off base).

  3. Wendy, thanks for the laugh this morning! No, there are plenty of kids their age, both American (we live on a US military base) and Japanese, for them to play with. The truth is they get along about as well as most siblings I think; I just don't post the pics of them grabbing toys from each other and yelling "mine!"
