At the arboretum

Last week we took advantage of a warm(ish) day and went to the Arboretum to see a dinosaur exhibit.

It was a great place to run.

I never get tired of seeing him run anymore. Praise God for pediatric orthopedists!


Don't worry. Anna was there too.

In the snow

We got 8 inches of snow two weeks ago, which was super fun.


Little tiny boot print

We went sledding at Scott and Lisa's

This is one tough kid:

He got up shrieking in delight after each run.

Little pink bear :)

Anna Marie is a month!

Wow! How did that happen?

Anna is awake sometimes:








Ann and James came to visit and both the kids found James particularly comforting. Andrew sat with him to watch the whale scene of Nemo. It worries him.





Cute kid.





Josh took some great pictures in some of the snow.








We went for Andrew's follow up appointment after his January surgery. Dr Hooker said he looked great (which we knew) and she doesn't need to see us for six months! Then she helped Andrew pick out a sticker:


Daddy-burps are the best:


Pretty girl!





Check out how much Andrew has grown! Broken leg and all :)

Anna's first banjo lesson:

Goofy big brother

The boy has got to dance

Already she is very accomplished. She is flying through her developmental markers. :)

He got a tiny house from Nana and Papa.

Learning to crack eggs

Whew! I think I am caught up on the stuff that happened before Anna. Pregnancy was hard to blog through this time around.

Sleeping Beauty

I realized today that 3/4 of my pictures of Anna so far are of her sleeping.



































She does sleep a lot. For the sake I bragging, I have to tell you that she is sleeping 6-8 hours at night. That's right. Hopefully I haven't jinxed it! :)

In contrast to his baby sister, here are the last pictures I tried to take of my busy boy with his graham cracker teddy bear creation:











My kids are awesome.
