Check into some Listerine, Santa

So apparently this year, Santa stunk. I missed the visit, but Tommy said as soon as Soren was done, he told him in a whisper, "DAD, DAD – Santa's breath SMELLED BAD!"

Soren asked for, and subsequently received, a Hattifattener!

Princes & the Killer. Whale, that is.

Soren and his girlfriend (American girlfriend, anyway) Ingrid "spending out" together at the Fall Festival. Cute!

Summer of bros and...girlfriends

In July, Soren met his new French girlfriend, Lisa (not to take the place of his regular American girlfriend, Ingrid!). Soren and Lisa totally hit it off despite the lack of a common spoken tongue. 

And today Soren reconnected with his old BFF Benjamin! We were invited to go swimming and eat a picnic lunch with Ben and his family, and we had a ton of fun.

School rulz

Soren started a new school year this August in Ms. Leslie's class. He is in with 3 to 5 year olds! Very exciting stuff. Check out his fancy signature (O S, in case you can't decipher). Unfortunately I just found out that he's supposed to NOT learn the names of the letters, just their sounds. Oops!

Bday party cute overload

Soren's BFFs Benjamin, Ingrid, and Olivia celebrated Soren's birthday with him in his back yard!

Class photo day

It's like herding baby cats!

 Cheese! 

Moon over my hammy

Soren was somewhat ambivalent about the animals at the zoo this past weekend, but he loved the train, and he cheesed it right up for the photo booth.

I heart Soren

Soren made me a red foam picture frame decorated with Valentine's stickers, and this was in it! What an awesome present from the boy! I love this photo so much, I wish I had the digital file.
