Five short days from Spring…

Snow and Fence

Who would have thought with spring looming, that now would be the time we would get a decent snow storm? I know most of you hate it, but I love it. It was so nice to wake up on Saturday morning and actually see more than a dusting on the ground. We actually had to shovel our driveway. I don’t think it will last, but I’m going to enjoy it while I can.

One Happy Boy

Justin smiles

Aaron and I recently spent the day babysitting for Justin. It was hands down, the easiest babysitting I have ever done. This boy eats, plays, smiles and naps. He didn’t cry the entire time we were with him. We kept waiting for him to get fussy, but it never happened. Amy says we lucked out timing wise as his current teeth (he has 4 now) have all broken through…but I’m convinced he’s simply the sweetest baby ever.

Toy Chest: Millennium Falcon

“But, mom, I’ll just die if I don’t the Millennium Falcon this year.”
OK, that might have been overdoing it. I don’t really remember the tactics I used when I was five years old to persuade my parents to buy me toys, but I’m sure I took whatever sage advice my sister had, and integrated it into my appeals. It worked, and one year it became mine. This thing got more playtime than any other Star Wars toy. Every figure got at least one turn in the hidden cargo compartment.

Dos and Don’ts

Justin in his Dos and Don'ts Onesie

When Amy first told us she was pregnant, this onesie is the first gift Aaron bought for her. Justin is finally big enough to wear it. Aaron still gets a laugh over it. And to think, people say he has a twisted sense of humor…

Birthday, Birthday and Birthday

James, Aaron and Peter around their cake

This past weekend the family got together to celebrate Aaron, Peter and James’ birthdays. Peter and Maria hosted the event at their house and served pizza and salad for lunch – followed by an elaborate pirate themed birthday cake for dessert. Justin was of course the entertainment for the party, much better than any clown or magician, if you ask me.
