November Funks

Bec and Jethro relaxing for a moment on the new decking. With three kids about the place Bec and Gord are doing an amazing tag team effort. We have been able to visit them on and off recently which has been super.

Jethro is growing fast in body strength. How is this for a stretch to look up at bigger people? No trouble for Jethro. He is showing signs of wanting to stand and enjoys those times when he is assisted to his feet from the ground or the lap...

Jasper showed his Poppa his special tree. Piper wanted to stand in there too but this was his spot and he wasn't budging. He is getting a lot of self-assurance and self-confidence and was able to bring his feet up the opposite branches to hold a 45 degree pose. Pretty cool.

Gord let the kids do this. Jasper was not so sure but bravely stretched his body up and found he could stand and even look toward the camera. That's pretty brave stuff. It was no trouble for Piper who took pleasure being higher than us. The car? The old Funk car is going to pasture some time soon... to car heaven.

How cute is this. Piper has made 'Sally' a special nest to lie on. 'A dog on a nest' is a blending of motifs that only a child could conceive. Piper made a special play-space for she and Sally in the very front of the yard in the cool of the afternoon.

Jasper took this picture with a little bit of tutoring from his Poppa. If Piper can take a picture then so can he!

Love all your blogging, Dad! Glad you're capturing some of our kids growing up, not like us!
