Rocking

The other night Nathan asked if he could help me put the boys down for their naps.  I asked if he wanted to rock/sing with them.  

It was so sweet...

A First

On Friday night Emma had her first sleepover (without parents). She chose Grandma's house for her big night.  She said it was AWESOME!

Snow Day

Last Thursday night we got a little snow, ice, and freezing rain.  It wasn't really enough to cause major problems but since public schools were scheduled early release on Friday and couldn't accept a morning delay so the entire day was cancelled.  Emma was thrilled to wake up and find that she didn't have school.  I think we were out the door to play in the snow by 8:30am!  They had a blast!

Thought I'd post a few more pictures of Emma from when I took this one:

 

She was wearing my lipstick.
I'm so glad she still loves to play dress up!

 "Boys are found everywhere-on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket." -- Alan Marshall Beck

A warm winter day

We have had some crazy weather this winter, including days the kids could go outside without a jacket!  This was one such day in January when they decided that ballet and mud puddles would make a fun combination...

 

 

Twister

Where did he learn this?!

Oz

On Sunday Grandma and I took Emma to see the musical Oz starring some friends of hers from church.   Lizzy was a munchkin and a resident of Oz, David and Jonathan were fighting trees.   It was at a local children's theater and was a great performance.  We all really enjoyed it!

Emma was so excited that the Cowardly Lion waved at her after the show.  We also ran into Auntie Em at Wendy's afterwards.

Smile!

When you tell Samuel to smile, you will often get something like this:

But sometimes, you'll get something like this:

What a handsome little man!

Late Valentine

Oops. I forgot to post our Valentine message this year:

My Valentine

It's so amazing that this is our 10th Valentine's Day together!

Valentines lunch

The boys and Brian and I joined Emma for a special Valentine's Day lunch at her school.  Grandma joined us too.  It was fun!

Love is in the Air...

Cookie baking

YUM!
