Winter Walk - January 27

It got pretty cold last night and our neighbors left their sprinklers on creating some great icicles on their fence. The kids and I went on walk after lunch to investigate this icy wonderland and enjoy a small taste of winter.

A Beautiful "Spring" Day - January 22

What? You mean it isn't spring yet? Well, you could have fooled us because it sure has been warm around here. It looks like we could go the entire winter without any snow (or any rain for that matter!). Today we enjoyed a beautiful afternoon in the backyard with some frozen yogurt treats!

18 Months Old - January 20

Zane is 18 months old, but he thinks he is as old as the rest of his brothers and sisters! He wants to go wherever they are going and do whatever they are doing. This month he started eating his cereal in a bowl with milk and a spoon...

and he has learned how to smile for the camera!

Light "Savers" - January 15

The boys bought new swords during our shopping trip on yesterday. They love their light "savers" and spent most of the morning running around the house in their capes and underwear fighting each other and any "beasties" they happened to discover.

Sabrina Ballerina - January 14

Sabrina's first ballet class was today and she was more than excited about it. She made me promise her before rest time that I would wake her up if she slept too long! She loved everything about dance class - the ballet shoes, the new friends, the pink skirt, the nice teacher. She is one happy little ballerina!
