Rowan came home from school and taught us a new song. It's the first one he taught us. Just ignore the yogurt all over his face and enjoy the song.

Ryder Mae - 8 months
Ryder rolled over for the first time over Christmas break at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Until then she just sat there being cute. Now less than a month later she's crawling and clapping.

4th Quarter 2011
Oh my! I have a video of Miss Mae crawling and I want to share it on this little, family blog but I just can't do that until I post some pictures of us (mostly them.)
This was Ryder's first Christmas and she was more impressed with bows and paper than anything. Rowan was into it more this year than any other thus far but still appreciates small doses of gifts. Here are both of them with our stockings at home (Christmas 2011 #1 of 3.)
Rowan's favorite gift from Fayetteville Santa was a pair of black shoes that are very similar to Esten's. He asked me to put some pants on him so he could wear the shoes immediately. He needs pants touching the shoes or they just aren't right.
I mean he really loves them.
Ryder and her first purse.
In November, the 30th to be exact, Rowan turned 3. While he was at school I put all of his gifts together on our coffee table so he would walk in to this.
He was thoroughly unimpressed! He didn't want to open his gifts but after a little coaxing he did.
That night we went to Chuck E Cheese's. Did you know they serve beer? We were delighted to discover this. Now our trips there will cost even more. A few of our friends came to celebrate with us, including Luke, Rowan's nieghbor buddy. Candles were his thing this year. Fire equals fun.
And in October we all dressed up for Halloween. No explanation needed here.
These are a few randoms from October.
And finally, at the beginning of October we went the Harvest Music Festival. The weather was unseasonably warm but we managed. Our kids were great and we will be back next year albeit in reserved camping. We are too old to camp with the stay up all nighters.
That was just a glimpse but mejor que nada.

Let's Go Get Cloned
Enjoy this video from the Vintage Vernon Festival in September. And because everyone needs at least one Doc Mason song on their Ipod buy this song on Itunes. It's called, Let's Go Get Cloned.

Happy Fall
Photo Credit: Jules Pierce or if you ask Rowan her name, "My Jules"
This Fall we are celebrating our one year anniversary of living in Fayetteville. To celebrate we are taking our little family to Harvest Music Festival with some friends from Texas next weekend. The highlight of the weekend will be Rowan meeting his namesake, Peter Rowan. Camping with a 5 month old and nearly 3 year old should result in lots and lots of photos and stories, stay tuned.

4 Months
Since my 3 month post was so late, 4 months came quickly. Our girl is just as sweet and laid back as ever. She is trying so hard to roll over, her hiccups have subsided and she loves chewing on her pointer finger. She is using the jumper and the exersaucer now. She loves being able to see everything going on around her, which is a lot of "to infinity and beyond" these days. This is a picture of her and I at the Tulsa Zoo. What do you think? Do we look alike?
Preschool Begins
Last week we loaded Rowan up for his first day of preschool.
When we got there I tried to get a picture of him outside the school but this was what he left me with. Something about the sun in his eyes was his excuse.
This is the "I'm not so sure" look he gave just as we were entering the room.
Then he went off exploring the kitchen area with Livi.
We told him we were leaving and that we would be back in 5, 10 minutes. 5, 10 minutes is our only concept of time with him. He cried but let his teacher hold him and we went on our way, a few tears on our end too. The good news is that the tears have subsided and he is enjoying himself at school. The only complaint from him is that his class isn't allowed to climb in the tree house when they go outside. His teachers told us that he is very polite and likes to hang with the adults. Is he still too young for cooperative play or is he just too smart for all of these other 2 year olds? ;)
