“[Do not?] feed the birds”

Taking advantage of today’s great weather (72 degrees), Austen went to a nearby park where we ran into some geese & ducks. Austen showed her excitement by quacking all over the place. We also fed the ducks some bread. When we ran out of bread, Dada remembered he had an apple so we feed them apple, until Austen decided she wanted to eat the apple.

Here’s Austen hanging with “Mama,” a word she now frequently uses — only took 15 months! Although Mama is still occasionally but lovingly refered to as “Gaga.”

New Year’s Eve Celebration

Devan helped celebrate New Year’s Eve with Austen (even if neither was actually awake during the ball drop, when Dick Clark counted down “Eleven, nine, eight, seven …”). They continued playing the next morning while the parents enjoyed a bacon and egg breakfast compliments of Dada.

Here’s Devan with his Daddy, Kimball, before any drinks.
