Winter Days

Man, it's been cold!  Where do we live, anyway... NC or NJ?  As my mom would say, "Dang!"  Here's what we've been up to during these cold winter months...

Practicing violin:


Sydney's new school includes violin as their music program. We are so excited to have her learning this beautiful instrument.  She has come a long way in five months.

Jumping in the jump house.  This is the toy we set up in Brett's office just for Christmas Eve so the kids could jump that night.  A month later and it is still in the same spot.  But on a cold day, it might be the only real exercise they get, so we've kept it up there!  Ha!





Digging in the dirt and riding in the wagon when the temps get above 40 degrees.  Grant loves to dig in the dirt.  Scoop, dump, fill the bucket, dump the bucket.  Start over.  (And he requests the helmet even when we are not going on a bike ride!)





Climbing all over the place.  Grant is a monkey.  He climbs on everything, especially the table.


Snuggling up for a good movie.  Grant screams with excitement when I say we are going to watch a movie. He runs to the same chair every time.  He puts his hands on the armrests every time.  He grins, he yells, he watches intently for about three minutes, then his toddler attention span is exhausted and he is outta there!



Building and enjoying an awesome swing-set.  Thanks, Brett and Ron!!!





Irish dancing, homework, lots of reading, birthday parties.  It's the good life even when it's cold. :)
