Got snow?

These were taken right around Christmas.  We had beautiful weather!  It was great to get outdoors so much.  The kids were ready for snow, though with their shovels.  We have snow now!  Time to put those shovels to work.  I'll post some snow pictures soon.  Hope you are all staying warm and having fun.

Happy New Year!

We wish you a year of peace, happiness, good health, love, joy, laughter, family, fun, beauty, and all the good things this world has to offer.  Happy New Year from our family to yours!

We wish you a merry christmas!

Having fun!  Merry Christmas Everyone!

A little holiday cheer!

Happy Dance!

Tis the season!

Tis the season to belt out Christmas songs at the top of her lungs (after she stopped watching the piano player and started to pay attention)!  Lia, you are a Star!  I'm so proud of you.  You looked so cute and you did such a great job at your school's holiday rehearsal.  Keep singing loud and proud!

The Royal Family!

Ha Ha!  I know, we're a bunch of geeks!

Hope you are all doing well!

That boy can eat!

I have noticed a considerable increase to our grocery bills, and a quicker rate at which food gets eaten in our house.  Friends of ours with boys have said that their boys EAT so we should be prepared.  Lia was kind of a picky eater as a baby.  She likes a variety of foods now but I wouldn't say she devours food or stuffs herself.  Owen on the other hand...that boy can eat!  He's always hungry!  He'll eat anything and come back for seconds!  It's so cute!  And I have this motherly need (naturally) to let him eat as much as he wants (for now anyway...no worries about my skinny Minnie gaining too much weight).  I just need to get him to stop throwing food on the floor! 

Maybe he'll be a good influence on Lia and get her to eat more vegetables.  He loves tomatoes, avocado, yogurt, eggs, meat of all kinds, oranges, blueberries, bread, cheese, peas, squash...I know what I'm doing tomorrow- grocery shopping again!
