Please tell me they will grow up to be best friends??


Okay, look at these two...I know I am biased but I'd say they are cutie patuties!!! I love capturing these kinds of moments! And then there are other kinds of moments...like four times this week where Ava has pushed her brother out of the blue for no reason?

He has two bruises on his face to prove it and one on top of his head I'm sure that you just can't see because of his hair! Is this brotherly sisterly love? Not sure, but I am thinking a few more months and the tables might be turned? Please tell me that when they are 20 and 22 they will not be pushing anymore but will be best friends??

Life around here has been pretty good...Cooper had his first "throw up" earlier this week and we are so thankful it didn't last long and hasn't been passed on to any of us! There is a nasty virus going around at our church where we are fairly sure he caught it. We also just got back from our first ENT visit and Coop will be getting tubes in his ears early February. I am actually kind of relieved it is just scheduled and praying that this will lessen his ear infections/fluid greatly!

As for me...I had a very fun evening last night just catching up with a good friend in Columbus! Teresa and I go back to my time on staff at OSU. We only live and hour and 20 minutes away but with each of us having two children it has been really challenging seeing one another. So, my sweet husband said, "Go, have fun" and that's what I did. It was just good and refreshing:) Reminds me that I want to be proactive to continue to stay connected to sweet friends no matter the distance! Thanks Teresa for taking time away from your family after a day at work to catch up!

Fun in the Snow?

Okay...let's just say I've never been a big fan of going out in the snow to "play!" Even as a child, I hated getting wet and being cold! So...now what's a girl to do that has children who want to go out and play? You guessed it...we went out and had a ball! It's so much more fun watching them!
As you can tell...we don't have a sled! We are one of those families who waited till they needed one and then they were all sold out! So...my amazing husband headed to the garage to see what he could find and you guessed it....the radio flyer red wagon!!! double seater at that! They loved it!! Cooper especially did not want to get out! Ava had a blast making snow angels and throwing snow balls at us all....much to my surprise, she is not like her mother at all. She didn't want to come in and get warm and dry!

The one thing I really really don't like about all this fun....is getting ready!!! So much work to get the boots and bibs and hats and gloves all on for a mere half an hour!!! One of my favorite things is always coming in for hot chocolate! Guess what the kids hated the "lukewarm" chocolate I made for them! Oh well...it really was a fun Saturday morning!
