Clementine Bird Songs

Bird mania is unrelenting. All the names are of real birds, though sometimes syllables are repeated or dropped (they're not the first to do that when matching words to music).

Snowstorm

Post-Christmas in Ohio

Christmas #2 in Cincinnati was also great-- there was a new bird book for keeps! Photographic documentation, however, was not up to the Kansas standard, so we give you these meager two pix, plus playing in the snow back home in Delaware.

Christmas in Kansas

Kansas was VERY exciting, because it had entirely new bird books:



And it snowed on Christmas eve:



(Yes, we forgot to pack our mittens and had to wear socks on our hands).

And for Christmas there were bird shirts:



And new Thomas engines:



And cute cousins:


Even the over-ten crowd had a good time.

Halloween

The amazing superhero team, Superman and... Bob the Builder.

Happy Birthday Alex and Ben

New Bob (the Builder) and Wendy! (Thanks, Ebay).


New Bob costume! (Thanks, Evan Seufert).


Ben eating birthday cake.


Playing with the balloons ("loons"-- because it's a bird joke, not because they can't say balloons) before the party.


Birthday cakes before being eaten. OK, these are out of chronological order. Or else the cakes spontaneously reassembled.


Identifying all the birds in the new storybook from Grandma and Grandpa Y.


Matchbox cars (also thanks Grandma and Grandpa).


Toby and Bertie! (Thomas characters. Honestly, what planet do you live on?) Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa L!
