Katie eating is still a full-body experience. 

Nadya loves the balance beam at gymnastics. She loves to practice anywhere there's a curb or wide wall. 

Nadya made her own hobby horse. 

Nadya has her own way with chopsticks :) 

A fun park trip trip. 

And Nadya. She announced while riding it that she'll ride a real horse when she's older. Ben already does. 

And Ben. 

the week after we took pictures of the kids on this bouncy horse, it was gone. I still haven't gotten the scoop on that. He're's Katie. 

Katie's picking her own clothes now. Scooter is ready to play with his favorite person. 

Classic Nadya. She's about to break into her deafening laugh. 

Nadya's getting interested in letters and numbers.

We turned quite a few heads with this line-up at the market one day. People kept asking if we were selling babies now. 

Babysitting at the farmers' market. 

Hans can hold a bottle by himself, for a short while. 

Hans looks at the world from a different perspective: standing. 

What a smile! Hans at 4 months. 

Katie shows Hans how to work the toys. 

Katie at 16 months old. 

Katie clowns around for Hans. The two of them really like each other. 

Trying to see if Hans is teething. 

The next pictures are all from the First Annual Day In The Sky (http://www.dayinthesky.org/). Ben invited Nadya to fly with him, but she decided to stay on the ground and watch. We all had a lovely day. I got to drive the Mars Rover. The kids got their pictures taken in spacesuits. Ben got to sit up front and fly a plane. 

Ben waits as patiently as any 3-year-old can. 

Some of the best fun is unscheduled :) 

There was so much to see and do.
