Animating Life: Laika

The Portland Art Museum has an amazing exhibit right now called "Animating Life: The Art and Science and Wonder of Laika." It is an amazing up close look at the stop motion studio that brought us movies like Coraline, Box Trolls, Kubo and many more. The exhibit shows the process of stop motion animation movies, has so many sets and characters to see up close, and more!

 

Ronan and I were equally mesmerized! It was super cool to see much of this up close and personal. The colors and designs were amazing and to see how they bring these characters to life on the big screen was really cool.

Nephew time! 
So fun now that they are older. 
We did a spot of coloring over the weekend. 
They were so immersed in the colors and designs. 
Lots more fun to come!

Little Things: Tryon Creek Hike

On Boxing Day, the boys, Avi, and I went on a brisk hike in Tryon Creek Park. It never ceases to amaze me how lush and green Oregon is, even in winter!

We went in search of a suspension bridge over one of the river beds. Noam couldn't quite manage to say "suspension" and it was so adorable to hear him attempt to pronounce it. It kept sounding more like "cemention" bridge.

We had a nice morning out. Noam, the little naturalist loved finding plants and rocks to point out to us. Ronan just sprinted ahead! Always great to enjoy the fresh air during winter time and explore more of the amazing Pacific Northwest!

Chanukah Celebrations

Oh Chanukah, oh Chanukah...
Come light the menorah...

Gather round the table, we'll give you a treat...
Sivivon to play with and latkas to eat...

{Oh Chanukah}

There is something so magical about the holidays with children. Their enthusiasm so pure. So exuberant.

Noam and Ronan were so excited to welcome in Chanukah. They decorated. Set the menorahs up. And have asked when it was time to light candles each night.

We've played dreidel, sung songs, and enjoyed new gifts.

8 nights of wonder and joy! So happy to be here to celebrate with them.

Three!!!

Ronan Arthur O'Glasser...I blinked and you turned 3 yesterday!

It feels like yesterday where you made you entry into this world, but the past three years of watching you go from little baby all the way to beyond hilarious cheeky 3 year old has been quite the trip and a serious joy and honor.

You have a style all your own, a smile that lights up a room, and your Ronan-isms keep me laughing all day long.

Keep being you Ronan! I love you something wicked crazy!!

And! Come link up and join the Good.Random.Fun. each Monday, right here!
