Us in 2006~2007

Now that our family has expanded, we have more to show with both kids together, as well as a little parent fun! Come here to see our family and sibling exploits. (The kids' individual pages are still updated with pics and events that are just theirs.)

Snow Play ~ February 17, 2007: We all 4 got suited up and went outside to play in the snow. Surprisingly enough, Will was sick of it quickly. I thought we’d have to drag him in, but as soon as he got a little bit on his neck from a snowball, he was done. His favorite part was eating the snow, followed closely by riding back and forth in front of the house on our awesome sled. Annelise did better than we thought. I was worried she’d be irritated, bundled up so tightly; but apparently, being a tiny fashionista in her Ralph Lauren Polo snowsuit was worth it! (Yay, Mommy’s girl! Haha!) She actually loved sledding with Will – so precious.

Basking barefoot in the 70º sun on Saturday, the 23rd. God bless that place. We soaked up every blessed ounce of vitamin D we could for the winter. (It was between 40º-60º the rest of the time - perfect for winter in my book.)


With "Aunt" Wendy!
