In Loving Honor of Miss Kaylee Hope

My cousin and his family lost a dauther/sister in utero this past week. Our hearts go out to them and we wanted to send our love in a tangible way, so we made a blanket. Purple is Kaylee's color and we hope that this blanket will bring smiles and sweet memories to those who snuggle with it for years to come.

We love you Joey, Jamie, Kiera and Carson!

(Caedmon wanted to know if we were going to go to Kiera and Carson's house to give them the blanket. I wish we could!)

Skating Socks

Caedmon was taking his time getting dressed this morning
(and just about every morning!)
when he came out and declared these his "skating socks."

The best part was the skating attire!!!:)

Auntie Heather's Visit

We always have some much fun when Heather comes to town! Heather and I were able to get away for a whole day of shopping kid-free! But the kids are pretty convinced that the reason for her trip up is them!:) I try not to leave all the entertaining to her, but my children make it clear they don't want me! And I admit that having the focus shifted off me for awhile is awful nice!

"Ring Around the Rosies"

"...pocket full of posies..."

"We all fall down!"

One Day Snowman

It warmed up last week after a frigid spell and it was time to get outside! The warmth made the snow packy enough to finally build a snowman. The continued warmth caused our snowman to fall down that very evening and now it's almost nonexistent. But it was cute for a few hours and we had fun building it.
