Light Stick Party 2

Luke has been having light stick parties ever since we got home from our cousins' house.

Our little wemmicks

Luke decorated his brother with stickers yesterday and this is what Noah thought of it:

Snow much fun

Naptime always makes me pensive. I am so blessed to be the mother of these two boys. They both fill me with such joy. Here is some of our recent news.

We have had some great winter weather recently. Luke has enjoyed sledding and playing in the back yard in the snow. He's getting big so fast.

I got to watch his swim class last night. I usually have mutual so it was a rare treat to see him in action. It melted my heart to see Luke and Nat in the pool together having so much fun. Luke had that big, open mouth grin the whole class.

Here is Luke sledding down the hill at the park near our house. He loved it!

Here are some shots of him playing in the backyard this morning. He lasted out there about as long as it took to get him all bundled up.

Don't we all remember eating snow?

back home

It's naptime here and I am enjoying the chance to catch up on emails and look through pictures. We enjoyed a wonderful trip out west and loved being able to spend all that time with family. Thanks for taking work off Aaron. I hope that it was worth it.

We came home to find our house buried under a foot and a half of fluffy snow. I love it. I smile everytime I look out the window. I am starting to rethink my "Nat is not allowed to apply for jobs in the midwest" rule. There is something so nostalgic about the snow for me.

Here are some of the best pictures that I took while we were gone.

Thanks for the warm welcome. When we went back to the airport Luke saw this area and said, "This is where Jakob had the balloons."

Here are the big kids in the bath together. I have a really cute movie of them in the bath together that I had to end abruptly because Luke decided to stand up and it was no longer decent.

Isn't she a doll?

We have about 20 different pictures of Luke and/or Jakob posing with the animals at the museum. I guess that Jakob wanted pictures of all the animals and Luke joined right in.
Here is Emily's wonderful primary poster. Click on the picture for a better look.

When I was looking through pictures I realized that I didn't take any pictures of Ian. This might be due to the fact that we were constantly trying to keep Luke and Ian in separate rooms.

Here are some pictures for Mom and Emily...
