Pretty Pictures... Kind of

Our First (Surprise) Harvest:

We tried. It was an epic effort. And then the sun hid his face and the snow blanketed the sprigs. We thought all hope was lost. Until the last week. The springs bounded upward toward the sunshine that peeked through the leafless trees. Perhaps all hope is not lost for a garden this cool season!

First Steps:

My darling little #2 took his first freestanding steps yesterday. 10 months old and wanting to walk! Crawling is so 2010. Walking HERE WE COME!

January 2011:

This month we have stayed busy. In the midst of the occasional play date we have visited my sister and her family twice. The boys have been kinda sick of the road. The weather hasn't really cooperated either, ok, well, it is winter after all. But outdoor time is a MUST for the eldest. He has so much energy! We have also been working around the house, which takes the attention off said 3 year old. And that can be tiresome. For mama. This month has flown by and the boys are as cute as ever, both growing and changing. L. has gotten taller I think and N., well, he's changing daily. The little guy gets into everything... the dirty shoes, buckets of water (from the tiling), and OH the spackle....finger painted the hall wall and floor...artistic and delicious! We look forward to the rest of 2011 and watching the boy grow.

Anniversary Weekend: Day One

This weekend marks the seventh anniversary of our marriage.... The foundation of our family, for richer and poorer, in good times and in bad. We decided to commemorate like it was a big deal... which it was! To kick off the weekend we took the kids and went bowling. I need to interject here, my husband does not love this activity, but knowing how much I do love bowling, he rocked it along with me. That's love! L. loved it... and the slice of pizza and soda treat! N, well he just hung around on my back and fell asleep midway through the first game.
