Spring!

We are spending a lot of time outside right now. One of us really really really, and I mean really, likes his boots. One of us might even sleep in said boots if allowed.....

 Also new is the Moore version of a mini-van....yes, good people, it is the 2012 Prius V Wagon*. There is plenty of room for multiple car seats, and both front and back seats move forwards and backwards, so all have plenty of leg room. Believe it or not, but inside this little hybrid is more cargo room than my Suburu Forester, AND we can get up to 600 miles on 12 gallons of gas. BOO-YA. I'm not going to say that the Prius wagon is magical, because clearly it exists, but it really kinda is magical....

*the obligatory Obama 2012 car magnet is sold separately-not issued at the time of purchase (contrary to popular belief)

Winter update

Where have we been, right?!! If you were thinking that we have been stuck under a snow drift, you would have been mistaken. We are happily enjoying an easy winter in South Dakota.

All of our highs have been above zero; I see brown grass instead of an endless sea of white; it has been sunny more than it has been gray and dreary.  So why don't we have more pictures of super fun adventures? Where are the stories about Westin saying 'yummy' at dinner (also heard at dinner 'yuck', mainly in reference to all things non-carbohydrate in nature)??

Well, I guess I don't have an easy answer, so I'll just show you guys:

This image was taken on the 4th of January. Now, New Baby should be about the size of a lime :).

That's right. Westin Moore will become a big brother around August 22ndish*

So, I'm sorry we've been out of pocket, but growing a little human is very much a full time job--and well, a full body experience. :)

*I stress ish, because these tiny humans really have their own clock. If this little bundle loves his/her Momma, she/he will come blessedly early-because it will be August. August in South Dakota, which is hot, humid and hot..and I will be BIG. I mean really really BIG.

Mighty Monday!

Based on the title, you probably thought you would see loads of pictures of little Westin in a mall...Where do you think we are, a real city with a fancy shopping establishment? Pish. Posh. We did go to Spirit Mound for a lovely walk and we did play with our new Christmas train set (thank you, Grandma and Grandpa Moore).

Happiest CopperDog of all time.

Believe it or not, we are having a 'warm' spell and it's been bright and sunny! Finally, a winter that isn't dreary.

The post-nap hair style has it goin' on...Who needs styling gel for that? Not Westin :)

Happy Christmas!

When asked at dinner last night if he had been a good boy for Santa, Westin said, 'so, so'....well, at least he's honest :).Our Christmas has been very special. I hope that yours has been as well.

Noni's here!

Noni and her little boy. So much love!

Basketball games are more fun if  you are wearing a nice warm monkey hat.

Vital Statistics

Proof that Westin does not subsist only on air...he readily eats bread, bread and sometimes carrots and bread.

At Westin's 2 year old doctor's visit, he measured 36.5" tall and 25 lbs....still long and lean! His vocab is growing by the day! He's one happy, healthy little boy. We are so very lucky :)

Westin and Dada jammin' out.
