Hear her "Roar"

Just another night of "Roar"-ing. 

Deep thoughts -- About Christmas cookies?

Avery made Christmas cookies... who knew you could have such long conversations about cookies?

Keane's a dance class crasher

In December, Keane couldn't help but crash Avery's dance class. 

Attendance was a little low that day, so no one seemed to mind! 

Nutcracker -- Our little mouse

Avery was a mouse in the Eugene Ballet Company's performance of the Nutcracker (in December). She's the second from the right. I know, she should have been in a non-sleep/dream scene -- with light! 

What's life without a sibling?

Pre-bedtime dancing. Not exactly good for winding down, but good for the soul, nonetheless. 

Avery's learning to swim -- independently!

Of course, if you asked her, she is already an expert swimmer...! 

...and Keane loved his decorations!

Grammy Decorated

Happy Birthday Keane! Two years old!

I didn't want to bring down your New Year!

Keane was hospitalized for a week over the holidays (i.e. we rang in the New Year at RiverBend hospital). He had another upper & lower respiratory virus infection (RSV) that knocked him down, again. We are now on a new inhaler regimen for bug-season. Hoping to see the pediatric Pulmonologist at OHSU in March. As you can see, we tried to make the best out of it!
