Pre-Tahoe gift explosion ready for take-off!

Two happy boys tomorrow morning. And two delighted parents...

Get yer motor runnin... Head out on the highway!

Some assembly required...

Nathan sings "Preschool Rocks" in the Lycee Spectacle

Who is this short-haired boy at the table???

So much for the symphony. The boys didn't last ten minutes.

That is where the children's orchestra will sit

Peter and the wolf... Here we come!

"My maman sit right here"

An early morning at my office

Hannukah bush!

Nathan comes out of the closet

The night that Sidney and Nathan made mischief of one kind

And another...

Only stamp I had to send in my speeding ticket #fail

Ready to go (after the next song is over)

Time to wake up sleepy head!!!

...The art

The artist

Drawing time!

Aunt Betsy comes for a visit

Blobulous but smelling good...

Ready for sugar cookies!

Paris sous la neige

Chick Hicks and his AKA's

Nathan and Sidney love the movie cars.

They love Lightning McQueen (the lead character). And they love Chick Hicks.

They have a set of matchbox cars from the movie. Sidney's favorite is the "Chick Hicks" car -- in Dinoco blue.

When we first got the car, Sidney couldn't pronounce Chick Hick's name correctly so he's had a variety of inventive names.

To whit:

1) Chuck MqQueen

2) Chuck-icks

3) Chick-icks

4) Chick-queen

5) Chick McQueen

6) Chick Hicks

Nathan's nightmares

For the past two nights, Nathan has woken up crying around 1A.

This morning, over breakfast, I asked him about his bad dreams.
