Hallowe'en Images

Maynar observes as Linus writes to the Great Pumpkin.

Modygg's first Hallowe'en!

Watching the fire.

 Practicing his rolls, front to back and back to front.

Maynar dances (rather dramatically) with the Red Baron as Schroeder plays.

 

 Protecting the house from unfriendly spirits.

Exploring

Maynar is loving the warmer, drier weather!

Lots of new textures to explore.

He is fascinated by the hens.

He loves dumping things into buckets, although he sometimes has difficulty retrieving his precious cargo from said buckets.

And he is getting faster and faster at walking, even on the uneven terrain of the great outdoors!

And of course, when all is said and done...

(He put himself to nap this day -- pulled the blanket and Papa's work shirt off the porch to make himself a bed.)

Maynar in Motion (and Audio)

Not the greatest videos, but at least it gives an idea of Maynar's activity these days.

Hanging with Papa

Stirring

(Stirring being the season before spring, when the earth begins to awake from winter.)

Off for a walk on a lovely sunny afternoon.

The chamomile along the foundation is ready to grow!

And here come the bulbs...

Maynar HATES coming back inside, no matter how much time we have spent outside, so Mick enacted a tradition of chocolate milk to give Maynar something to look forward to once we are back indoors.  (It's a pretty effective tradition.)

Here's to stirring!

Grocery Shopping

The sort of winter we had...

That's Mick on his way to work.  Snowshoeing down the driveway to the car!

Fortunately, the driveway is now clear, the car is now parked close to the house, and the snowshoes are ready to be packed way.
