"If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind." ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859

Meet The Machines, Kindergaten & Smiles

Last year Max & Ian went to an event called Meet the Machines put on by CAT & Budrovich. This year Lily & I got to go too. Each kid got a real hard hat at the entrance & got to decorate it with stickers. This year they had even more machines for the kids to climb on & they could even go up in a crane. (The line for that was literally 1/2 a mile long!) Max had a great time on all the different machines & by the end of the day we were all pooped!




Yes, he really is operating heavy equipment!
He could have stayed right there all day!

We also went to Kindergarten Orientation at Max's school. He is so excited to be a Hudson Elementary Hawk! He met his teachers, made a hat & colored, all while having fun with his new classmates. According to the school counselor, when Max was finished, he stood up and announced, "I just did my first assignment!"

Lily has also started smiling & reserves most of them for her big brother. I can make funny faces all day long but Max just has to walk in the room. She is also trying to roll over but hasn't quite made it. I'm sure it will happen as soon as the camera is no where within reach.




I think this is one of the best pics ever! I did get a little bit of the photography gene!

Cute, cute, cute! Oh, and thumb suckers make the best babies! Let her suck that thumb! Makena was the best sleeper!!! Worry about the teeth later, for now enjoy a thumb-happy baby!

How can the pictures go wrong with such a cutie for a subject. Looks like Max has in future in heavy equipment.
