Warmer Days

We have been having some warmer days, and it has been very nice as far as getting out of the house. It has been in the 50's and I have been trying to get the boys out. I would have let them play in the backyard, but we still have snow, which presents a problem because they would get all wet and cold. So I have been taking them out in the stroller and for small walks where they walk.
Then since the weather was going to be even nicer on Joshua's day off, we decided to take advantage (especially since it will not last) and go to the zoo. We had a great time at the zoo and the boys love to get out. It makes them last longer when we have to stay home (less fussy for mommy). The weather is suppose to change and there is a 30 percent chance of snow again tomorrow. Winter is not over yet.

Family

Just A Touch Of Paint

I have been having the boys finish up some craft projects with me. This was the first time that Peter has been able to paint. He has been very interested in it, but I did not feel like he was old enough to paint yet. Paul and Peter had a great time painting and I got some great pictures.

Sleeping Angels

How come they are so cute when they are sleeping?

Paul and Peter

Here are some pictures and movies that really show their personalities and things that they love.Peter and his "daf". He is so cute when he tries to talk. Peter is making more sounds of words than saying actual words. His two favorite things daf and his blanket. What a ham, he takes after his dad :). Daddy and Peter He loves to show off for the camera. Pete, Pete. Grandpa and Peter. Both my boys love to help. Paul loves airplanes. My little pilot.

Our New Years

We hope that you all had a great New Year and are enjoying it. Our New Years started with my parents getting of work at 3, well they tried to get off at 3. They had the most customers come in that day than any other day that month (December). We had a nice dinner planned, but we were not able to eat together as a family. My parents and Joshua came home about 5:30. We played with the kids and then played some games after the boys went to bed. I do not stay up late anymore with the boys being here. It makes it very hard to get up in the morning, so we all went to bed at 10:00 and wished each other a Happy New Year. The next day we spent time taking down our Christmas decorations. And we also relaxed and I spent some of the day getting ready for Paul's birthday party. Then we had Kramer Bookman over for lunch. We had a wonderful time fellowshiping and playing games. He is good at playing the piano and Joshua and Kramer played a piece together (Kramer- piano and Joshua- violin). Then we just relaxed and went to bed early. I did not take many pictures or movies, so here are the ones that I did take. I hope you enjoy them.

Pictures From Grandma Cathy

To finish up our Christmas pictures, I included these that I got from my mother-in-law. They are pictures that she took on her camera that I did not have. I hope that you enjoyed these pictures, and had a Merry Christmas.
