Just the kiddos





Ooohh the trouble he will create.

Liliana and Daddy in the snow


Graves was jealous that he couldn't go out in the snow. It was soo cold though.





This was about two weeks ago. There hasn't been a lot of snow at any one time, but it has snowed a lot! The poor school kids have missed more than a dozen days of school, and it's only the second week of February! We still can expect snow through April! Liliana absolutely LOVES the snow! She gets soo excited when she realizes it's snowing or has snowed overnight. She runs around the house singing "I love snow, I love snow." (Thanks to The Backyardigans!) Graves was super jealous that Daddy and Liliana went out to play in the snow, but it has been very cold (in the teens and 20s) most of the time when we've had snow. This day it was so cold that Ira and Lili only stayed out about 10 minutes.

Graves' Birthday


Graves loved his new toy! Liliana loves it almost as much as he does!


Liliana and daddy made Graves a spiderman birthday card! She was very proud of it!


Ummm... who taught my daughter to put apples on balloons? Silly girl!


Singing "Happy Birthday" to her runny-nosed brother. Notice the balloon "candle" in his birthday apple?


Happy boy - even though he had a runny nose and peas on his lips.



Well, it's official. Graves is a toddler! He turned one on January 24th! It is hard to believe that my little baby boy is 1! The year really went by fast! I still need to upload birthday party pictures, but this was on his actual birthday. We just hung out at home with the family.

Park Trip - January 23rd






Since Graves' birthday was not supposed to be a good outdoor day, I took Liliana, Graves, and Macyn (one of the kid's friends who I keep a few days a week) to the park. They had blast. Liliana loved playing in the bits of snow on the ground, Macyn loved everything, and Graves loved playing with the mulch (what a boy) and climbing on the slides. This was the first time Graves got to play at the park!
