Happy Halloween 2013

A local children's bookstore, Wild Rumpus, offers a lottery each Halloween to win tickets to their Trick or Trolley event. A local author then reads from their book while on a ride on the Lake Harriet Streetcar. The author this year was Nancy Carlson. We  won tickets and so did our dear friends the Capistrant Family and together spent a perfect October afternoon riding the rails.

Sevi had a couple of costume changes this year for Halloween, going between a policeman and a power ranger outfit that morphed into a police speed racer outfit. Soren was thrilled with his storm tropper selection this year.

MacPhail Out and About Suzuki Concert

Soren had his first public concert at a local nursing home, Catholic Eldercare. Ironically, this was also a place his grandfather Rupert used to attend for adult daycare back in the early 90's. Soren is front and center, towering over the 3yo twins on his left. 

Big Boy Biker

Sevi mastering hill climbing

One the cusp of turning four, Sevi has mastered the art of two wheel pedal biking. His muse was his best girl Siri, who herself is also a two wheeled pro. I also give credit to starting Sevi off early with a balance/kick bike, which really taught him the art of bike balance.
