Swinging



Living 23 years of my life in the Midwest, I don't think I will ever get used to it being 70 degrees in January/February. Today the weather was beautiful and I was able to capture some cute pictures of the kids swinging in our back yard/greenbelt.

 





Indoor camping

Today Molly and Johnny were peretending to camp in the living room.  They built tents as you can see in the background and insisted on getting out their sleeping bags.  What was particularly funny, Molly took her canteen (in second picture) out of the butterfly net and off of her fire (the grocery cart and toys) and said the water was ready to drink.  I guess they have learned most of their camping techniques from watching Man vs Wild with daddy!

 

Samuel-4 months

This big guy is 4 months old!  Samuel is a happy little boy always giving out smiles, especially to mommy and daddy.  He is so lovable; he is always getting kisses from one of us!

 (Yes, he spits up a lot!)

 

Samuel 3 months

Samuel is approaching 4 months but here are a couple older pictures from the past month. 

 

 Looking handsome in jeans!

Molly and Johnny have been trying to teach Samuel to roll over, complete with demonstrations, he is almost there.

Cookies

I am way behind on blogging because I have been unable to upload pictures but thankfully the issue has magically resolved.  My kids love to help in the kitchen.  Here they were assisting as we made some late Christmas cookies to send to a friend. 

Johnny's favorite

Today I was trying to encourage Johnny to get rid of his binkies (I know we are in trouble, I have no idea how we are going to get rid of them)
Me: What if mommy buys you something special if you get rid of your binkies, what is your favorite thing?
Johnny: (smiling) Daddy

How sweet!

Planets

Tonight at supper we were discussing where we lived, Texas, planet Earth, etc. We moved the discussion to the solar system when Molly surprised me with her addition to the conversation.
"I love planet Saturn, it has pretty rings!"
Paul says he has taught her about the planet, none-the-less, I was impressed!
