well loved

welcome

Born in the wee (2:11am) snowy hours on January 25....

we welcome Linnea Grace!

Weighing in at 8 lbs.

Little wrinkly one and her tiny diaper.

"Hmm, now where does this other one go?"

"Ahhh....I'm born."

Proud Papa.

The first of many sister encounters.

"I'd rather play with this baby!"

patience

While the stork circles, we bide our time....

painting,

stuffing markers in our smock,

sledding,

and catching up on extra (or missing) zzzzzz's.

season opener

Happy snowman weather!

tree eviction

Christmas tree relocated to Mt. Snowpile....

then the swing-set....

and finally....buzzz....through the climbing wall/sawmill.

Meanwhile, little chickadee loves the swank birdfeeder that Santa made.

belated

Belated Christmas pictures, thanks to San....

Isabelle in her snowflake suit,

and Annabelle in her "purple party dress."

San and JK looking dapper.

Louis and Annabelle watching the snow pile up.

Jessie and fudge-face Will.

Andrea and her peppermint ice cream cake.

Louis and himself.

Icy snowfall makes for great snowman material.
