Sweet Moments...

Micaiah always wants to "snuggle" with Eli. This morning when the boys came down for breakfast Micaiah said that he went and got Eli from bed hoping he would snuggle with him in his bed...most of the time Eli won't give him the time of day. So when Eli asked for the football this afternoon Micaiah said "if you sit in my lap, I'll give you the football."

smart boy...I've tried tactics like this before...
and it looks like Eli enjoyed it just a little bit!

Mondays with "GG"...

Happy Valentine's Day 2010...

Time to put on your creative thinking cap and see if you can decipher our annual Valentine message...this year some pictures are not literal letters but pictorial representations of the letter

WE LOVE YOU!

love, the mace 6

Backyard Friends...

with this much snow our bird feeder has seen a lot of activity...we've been busy looking up the birds in our field guide...

European Starling...

Female Northern Cardinal

Purple Finch and friend...

we've also seen a Red-Bellied Woodpecker, a Blue Jay, and a Black Capped Chickadee. I saved the best picture for last though...
Micaiah's drawing of the woodpecker he saw working on a tree outside his bedroom window. We think it was a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker.

Barefoot and Pregnant...

Enjoying the...

beginning of "Round 2!"

Micaiah's quote of the day..."I've been out of school so long I feel like I'm retired!"

"What...

are we going to do with all of this snow?"

Mondays with "GG"...

Look at me taking a nap in my new big boy bed!

Blizzard 2010 cont...

After giving updates every few minutes...Micaiah finally made it through to the other side of his "snow tunnel."

sunset in Sudbrook Park...

lack of light didn't stop the boys...in fact our yard was full of neighborhood boys until 6:30pm!

Blizzard 2010...

It's still snowing but we've been having fun since 7:30 am this morning...

I promise to post more pictures as the day goes on...Micaiah is really hoping to build an igloo/tunnel like we did during the last blizzard in 2003 (we have a picture of him crawling through it...he wants to remember it this time)!

Mondays with "GG"...

Here are the boys enjoying a "snow shower" ...the picture below is of Eli and his buddy Ian (one of the 10 neighbor boys on our little street)

Eli, Josh and Micaiah getting "pelted" by the snow and loving it!
