Cousins!

Well, the one in the middle of the last picture isn't a cousin, but a very proud Grandpa who both boys middle names are named after. It was wonderful to finally meet the new cousin from Wisconsin. The boys are one month and a day apart in age and we're so excited for them to be so close in age as they grow up.

Blessed Baptism

Last Saturday almost all of our family was able to make it to Saint Timothy Church to help us celebrate our baby boys Baptism. We were so thankful so many of you could make it for such a blessed occasion.

Family Fun

As part of a Christmas gift we were given the opportunity to go paint pottery. All five of us went and Mommy & Daddy helped paint a "piggy" band for each of the boys. Our oldest painted a car, of course!, all by himself and it sits now in his transportation themed bedroom, he loves to show his pottery creation off. We had a great time! Thanks Aunt Annnette & Uncle Adam

Zoo Animals

The boys recieved these awesome towels along with our family zoo pass for Christmas. Aren't they a cute pair. Roar!

Let it Snow?

Well, since it doesn't snow in 60 degree weather, the boys and I decided to draw snow scenes with our sidewalk chalk on the back deck. It's an interesting activity for December 29th, but we enjoyed it, and the sunshine too!

Our Boys

Just a sampling of some of the fun shots we've taken these past few weeks while Daddy has been home from work. We couldn't love these three little guys more. Hope they make you smile too!!

Christmastime Downtown

Mark took this past Friday off work so we could head as a family into downtown and catch a few of our favorite holiday traditions. It felt a little funny celebrating Christmastime in 50 degree weather, but that didn't stop us. We spent most of our time exploring at the Museum Center. We took in the train displays (and ride, too!) at Holiday Junction, and we made our second visit into see Clifford and his friends. We finished by having lunch on Fountain Square and wishing it was cold enough to try out ice skating (which Z has been asking to do ever since he saw it on Charlie Brown's Christmas) Maybe we'll add that to our day downtown next year!

Wishing you all a Merry & Blessed Christmas. Check back later for photos of Christmas morning!!!
