Lots of New Pics!

We spent part of this beautiful Easter day at the park. Nicholas has a great time playing in the sandbox, running through the woods, looking for geese in the pond, and trying to yell loud enough to scare birds away (his newest experiment)!


Nicholas found all his eggs (and Claire's too) during our Easter egg hunt.


Welcome to the office of Nicholas Aoun. He's at work here, just like daddy.


Claire vs. the dinosaur!


Happy girl, mad girl. We hardly ever see that upset face, at least not long enough to capture it with the camera!



Nicholas loves playing with Claire, except when she grabs his hair!


Mmmm, peanut butter tastes even better when you lick it out of the jar with your finger!


Claire (left) and Nicholas (right) are both at 8 months old in these pictures.

"Here Claire, let me show you how to play this game on daddy's iphone."


Time to paint!


Claire likes to look at books


but she likes to chew on them even more!


"Hmmm..."

A couple vids

Finally took some time to download the videos that have been piling up in the flip... Here are a couple of Nicholas and Claire & the latest from their repertoire:

Nicholas took a bad fall right after Christmas and hit his nose on the edge of the bathtub. He cried really hard for a few minutes and then said "I want to watch cartoons". The next day he had two black eyes. Poor little guy. Thankfully it's all healed now.



Claire loves to get her toes when she's laying on her changing table. She sometimes bends over to chew on them while she's sitting up, too. I think she kicks her socks off on purpose just to get to her bare feet!


Here's Claire trying cereal for the first time. She ate a few bites but wasn't crazy about it. Her favorite part was chewing on the spoon.


Claire got this giraffe chew toy from granddad for Christmas. It's now one of her favorite toys!

Claire has taken a real interest in Nicholas' toys lately! She wants to be right where the action is.


My little Santa Clause.

My Sweet girl

My sweet boy

Sometimes it's more fun to play in the bathtub without any water!




Nicholas loves to get ice cream cones at McDonald's except he doesn't like the cone!





We spend most of our time these days playing with Thomas and Gordan (trains, for those of you who don't know). Lately Nicholas has been making them crash in all the ways he can think of. Here they are knocking down towers. It's fun to hear him play because he makes the trains talk to each other. He's got quite an imagination!
