Winter pics

Anna, Charlie and Maggie at 12 weeks old. I can't believe that Maggie is already past this point. That bear has gotten a lot of use over the past four years!




A few things we've been busy with this winter include lots of baking. Both Charlie and Anna love to 'help' me in the kitchen, which always includes lots of licking of the spoons and frosting as many cupcakes/cookies as possible. *Charlie loves sprinkles * We've also learned that Charlie hates to be cold - he refuses to go outside for more than a few minutes but I did manage to get him bundled and capture a rare photograph of him in the snow.

Spring is that you?

It is gorgeous outside. I went home for lunch today and the kids were eating outside on their picnic table. I love it! It's only Feb. 17th but the car thermometer said 68! I packaged Mags up in the bjorn and went for a walk on the golf course path to enjoy some sun and get a little exercise. she loved it so much she promptly fell asleep! I can't wait to be really done with winter.

Almost 2

Our sweet little man is nearly two and I can't believe it. He's gone from a tubby nearly bald baby to a lanky toddler in the blink of an eye. He's working out the terribles now too - and goes from dancing around the living room to flinging himself on the floor in a rage quite frequently. He's still so sweet though and loves to give hugs and kisses, which I ask for quite often! How could I not! His vocabulary has grown immensely and he's almost got the abc song down. One of the cutest songs he does is 'wheels on the bus' and dances around in this crazy straight legged dance. At the end, his little 'tada' move just melts us all. Anna made up a stage name for him, "Paco Sillyman" and it's so appropriate. He's funny and so so silly almost 90% of the time. His love for all things Anna is still going strong. His first word in the morning is Anna and he always looks for her when he wakes up from his nap. I hope their friendship stays this strong throughout their child hood. Happy Birthday my baby boy. We love you so much.
