Oh, January. How I will not miss thee. We haven't been up to a whole lot around here, other than avoiding the cold and hanging out in the kids' bedrooms all day. Those two rooms get the most sun and they're so WARM, a nice contrast from the weather we've been having. In short, it's been the same ol' scene in the Dietrich household.

Connor has been getting into video games lately. Who would have thought that a three year old can play games that I won't even attempt because they have too many buttons? My only excuse is that I feel like there are enough buttons to learn on my camera.


Fancy abstract of the boys playing the Playstation Move.


I volunteered at Connor's preschool the other day, and Alaina spent the afternoon playing at Grandma's instead of taking her daily nap. I knew she was tired, but you've got to be pretty exhausted to fall asleep with your book still propped up in your hand.


My mom keeps asking for portraits of the kids, and I am officially the worst person to keep her updated with current pictures. My excuse is that the cutest photos I take of my kids are always situational, such as this day, where Alaina was potty training. She does so much better sans clothing, but I'm so wishing she had a shirt on in the photo. It would have been frame-worthy!


The best part about potty-trained kids are the pinchable bums!


I will be one heart-broken mommy when that thigh roll disappears. It's on its way out. :(


If you're wondering why all my pictures are of Alaina lately, it's because Connor runs from the camera and Alaina says, "Doe det your damra and tate pitchers of meeeee!"
