Snow Pets

We took some time to enjoy our short term snow while Casey was home. The kids had a great time sticking the faces into the snow and were so proud of Dad when he made the "huge" snow man. They only lasted a day or two, but our snow pets were sure a fun time to make.

Logan with his snow puppy. He put the eyes on himself. Kati loved the snow piggy because of the curly tail.

It's a Boy!!!

We are happy to announce that we will be adding a baby boy to our family around April 1st! We are super excited and even Kati has come around, and is excited that it's a brother.

Early snow

It snowed three inches last night. I was very surprised to see it still on the ground this morning, but the kids were so excited. They've been itching to wear their new snow bibs.

Our new house

We finally moved in to our house! I love it. It's a 1970 cute old house on a corner lot, which makes the yard a bit awkward, but it's great anyway. The neighborhood is cute and quiet, and friendly.This is Casey's pool room. It's the first place he takes people when they come over. Even though it's in the basement and you have to walk through the rest of the house to get there. This is my living room, first room when you walk through the door. I love the fire place.

Kati learns about Larva

At preschool Kati learned about the life stages of butterflies. She even says Crysalys (cacoon). I was amazed. And they did this super cute activity with pasta. They used rice for the larva stage, rotini for the caterpillar, shell pasta for the cacoon, and bowtie for the butterfly. CUTE.
