Where to begin after three months of not blogging? I thought about doing a recap of the last three months, but man, have they been busy. Halloween, Thanksgiving trip to Colorado, Christmas at home, family reunions, dabbling a little too much in paid photography. If I were to sum up our current state of mind and current goings-on, I'd use one word: home. Our new family schedule (Anthony in school four days a week, Connor in school two days, and me upping my hours at work) in conjunction with the wet and dreary weather has kept us home...a lot. Anthony and I like it, the kids...not so much.

Connor has been saying and doing a lot of cute and funny things lately. A few days ago, he brought me an english muffin with Altoids on top. "I made you a birthday tate, Mama!"


Although we've had mostly rain this winter, when we do have snow, Connor asks to "doe outside and fwow snowballs"! I don't know if Alaina could be any more like me, as she stands still in the snow and complains that her boots are wet. When Anthony eggs her on and softly tosses snowballs at her, this is the reaction we get. NOT INTERESTED.



Connor, on the other hand, loves being pelted by Daddy.

I love this series:






Connor made his first snow angel!


A long day of playing in the snow (more like 20 minutes before Connor said that it was too cold and that he didn't have any fun) leaves my boys pretty tired.


I wish I could say that we've had more exciting things going on, but actually, I'm quite enjoying the slowdown after the whirlwind that was December. Anyone else ready for spring?!
