The Rest of January

"Holy is the Lord, God Almighty.  
The earth is filled with His glory.
How great, how awesome is He."

Brotherly love

Finally finished this year's hand print tree. Can't see the glitter star on top very well or the myriad of ornament colors incorporated, but I dare say they are getting a bit better!

Carpooling with Katie apparently was sufficient motivation for Margaret to agree to wear 
MY favorite coat for her this winter.
Hope it's not one and done!

Selfies are hard when someone wants to eat the phone.

Andrew had a birthday party at Smith Aquatic Center.  At 48" (apparently the 93rd percentile), he was the only child tall enough to do the big water slides. I was so proud of him for marching over by himself and enjoying them the whole time!

Who says you can't ride a bike in the snow???

Driveway hockey

Too many days at home lately, but we actually faired pretty well!  1/2 day Thursday, 1/2 Friday, MLK Day, Teacher Work Day, two snow days, then 4 hours on Friday.  Whew!  Someone is desperate to sled with the others!

How we roll when Daddy's out of town - be afraid.  

Be very afraid.

Loving Matthew's Christmas present from Sarah and Abby.

We call this "The Fairview Walk"...clearly doesn't prefer to crawl on concrete.

Margaret working on her fears with JJ - 
diving team could be fun!

Matthew getting better on "stop and go" and Margaret's got the Princess bike down!  Didn't take long for her feet to reach the pedals.  I'll bet she drops the training wheels this spring or summer as she is HIGHLY motivated to ride "just like Andrew".  

The giggles of a young child NEVER gets old, 

especially when they add the special affects of snorting:)

Punching balloons

A typical scene around here....
