Sauvies Island - Winter 2011

Our first family outing with Tyler... Sauvies Island beach walk. Only 20 minutes from home, a great choice to get us all some much needed fresh air. Nathan and Drew had great fun throwing sticks along the way and the foggy morning turned into some beautiful vistas as the sky began to clear.

From exuberance to tears... my how quickly things change in a toddlers world.

There's a picture just like this with Nathan in the '08 archive. Too Cute!

Welcome Baby Tyler!

Week 2

Home Play - December 2010

During those long December days, Nathan found all sorts of ways to entertain and explore.

Here he's enjoying his puzzle from Uncle Matt.

Sometimes a mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do.

Letting her toddler explore while making a complete mess is just what she needs in order to get dinner prepped.

December 2010

December was a month of enduring duty for the Burchettes. As Drew handled the daily grind at the Tree Lot and his real estate clientel, Mama held down the fort at home taking care of Nathan and maintaining business records. Visiting Daddy at the tree lot were both Nathan and Nadya's favorite evening outings as weather permitted. By months end, Nathan had it figured out... "Daddy go to tree lot - make money - eat candy cane".

Nathan showing his love for music.. especially Dave Mathew's Band. The Live in Central Park concert on DVD is still an obsessive request.

Christmas Eve was celebrated with a few great friends!

Chrismas Morning Fun!

November 2010

Ah November... busy times = few new photos. With tree season before us and Drew's busy schedule at the office, there havn't been too many opportunities to play. Below are just a few snapshots of some November days.

With baby #2 it's amazing how few photos of the belly we've been capturing. Something about spending all of our free time chasing after a toddler! Here I am at 7 months.

A rare family photos on the front porch. My attempt at a holiday card picture - we went with something else due to the poor quality.

Nathan and Charlotte Stockman playing nice.

Totally obsessed!
