Day 73: Papa's Hat

Veronica loves wearing Papa's hat and she looks really cute in it too.

Day 72: Construction Zone

The tile floor is coming up and the old flooring being scraped off.  New flooring will be going down soon.

Day 70: Loving the Doll Cradle

Veronica loves her doll cradle.  Brad's parents got it for her for Christmas and while she normally just puts her dolls in it, I found her sitting in it while spending some time in her room.  All the babies were out of it and she was sitting inside.  She was very proud of herself.

Day 69: New Kitchen Seating

Brad refinished an old pew and we put it at the kitchen table so we have more seating without getting a bigger table.  The boys love it and of course Veronica had to get in on the fun too.

Day 66: Sledding can be dangerous

 

The snow has turned to ice, after a morning of rain, and while it's fun and fast, it's also dangerous...as Matthias' face shows.  He fell off the sled and scraped his face on the snow.  No permanent damage and after a few tears (and a hug from Mom) he was back out there sledding.  This wasn't the only injury of the afternoon, but the only one that was visible.  Lots of bumps and bruises for everyone.

Day 65: Smiling Samuel

Look at that smile...I just love this little guy.  His personality is as big as his smile.  He may be mouthy and opinionated (and shares his opinion freely), but he is so loveable.  Here he is waiting for dinner.  he was starving after an afternoon of sledding and sat silently at the table for 35 minutes waiting for me to finish dinner.  I told him he could go play or wait silently at the table.  He chose to wait; I guess he was hungry.

Day 64: Augustin and Samuel...sledding again

 

These two love to sled.  Here they are in the front yard where they spent a good 45 minutes going up and down the hill.  In this picture Augustin is pushing Samuel UP the hill.  A few seconds later he told Samuel he was too heavy and he needed to get off.
