A Short Break From The Cold...

We were so lucky last week to have a few nice days. It was a welcome break from the cold and snow. One day it got pretty warm, around 65 degrees or so, so we decided to take advantage and go to the park! The park was soaking wet everywhere from the just melted snow, but we did not care. It was so nice to be outside. The first set of photos are of Lyna on the monkey bars. Last year, she almost had them and was doing a couple by herself, but still couldn't go all the way across. She got up there and tried this time and went all the way across the first time!

Noah's Birthday Party

Noah had a ton of fun on his birthday. He loved all of the wonderful gifts he received (thanks a bunch to those of you who sent gifts from out of town too!) and loved getting to eat lots of cake!! Here are a bunch of photos from the day!

Snow Day!

We have been having a ton of snow dumped onto us recently, which might be kind of fun except that is so so cold outside that it s almost unbearable to actually go out into the snow. But, the other day, after being couped up inside for too long, we decided to majorly bundle up and brave the frigid temperatures to get some fun out of this stuff! I put on pretty much every piece of clothing in our closets and went outside. It didn't last a whole long time, but we did have fun and the kids seemed to enjoy the fresh air. I have an old pair of skis that were mine when I was a young kid, so the kids played on those a bit (although I didn't get any photos of Lyna skiing). They also made snow angels and tried to sweep the snow! All in all a pretty good time!

Another Knit Project!

I made this hat for my sister for Christmas. I had promised her a hat like a year ago and had never gotten to it, so I decided to finally come through on my promise. I really love how it turned out, I nearly kept it for myself :-)

Happy Birthday Noah!

2 years ago today I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. He took his time to get here (28 hours), but came in a calm and uncomplicated way. As excited as we were about bringing a sweet new spirit into the world, I don't think we at all anticipated the amount of joy and happiness he would bring with him. We are so very blessed to have Noah as ours. He is an everyday joy. I can honestly say I don't think there is a day he has been on this earth that he hasn't made his parents laugh out loud at some point or another. He is a great brother to his sister and will be a wonderful big brother very soon! We love him so very much and are so glad he is a part of our family. Here are a few photos depicting his growth. I will get party photos and such posted later!

*Almost* 31 Weeks Belly Pics!

I have been so awful about taking belly pictures this pregnancy. I swear I get a little worse with each pregnancy. But, I finally had Michael snap a few. Please forgive the grubbiness, I just got done working out. Enjoy!
