Fun Winter Moments

 Dancing with sister at ballet class

 Finding you fit in a cupboard...

Peek a boo...

 First ride on Daddy's back-get to hang on!

 Annelise's laser surgery-"pink arm day" for her and the boys. We all will match with you Leesie!

A purple marker and a little love go a long way. 

Bundling up for a ride-except now my socks are on my hands!

 Now both are free. Oh no, here comes Mom...

 Storytime sleepyheads fall asleep together. 

 Or watch a movie on a cold morning together. 

Or everyone snuggles into sister's bed for a few minutes of fun...

 Yes Elena is showing off her new wink!

Love our sister!

 Joseph is the fun brother who still loves to play with the little people. They look up to him...

Taking out and putting back the tiny chess pieces...

 over and over while we fold clothes.

Elena is pulling Johnny the doggie around the house

 She loves her new dog!  Johnny is not sure he can keep up with her. He is laughing and woofing and hoping she doesn't rip his clothes right off. Um, Johnny always spices things up with some drama...

 Pulling sister around the house.

 Loving Auntie, and winking for the camera

 Our new kitchen helper

 She likes the garlic this week.

Great apron, but hates the hat...

 Reading to Rebecca, her little friend  (teaching her "some school and just everything"). She likes to learn too, Mom!

 Leesie is excited to be reading Charlotte's Web. Oh how can our first grader be reading her chapter books already? It's fun to watch her loving the classics.
"Mom everywhere I go Elena wants to be with me..." Yes, Elena doesn't know she's small, and at 17 months climbs well into chairs, and beds, and tags along with everyone for fun.
