Sweet Girls

Buddies


Outside

It finally warmed up enough so that EVERYONE could play outside-at least until her hands got too cold because she wouldn't leave her gloves on.....
Little short person.


Penguins away!
Eating snow, the delicacy of winter.


Ready to jump.

Happy Winter!

Little bit of Spring

On a gray January day last week, I was so surprised to have this little bit of Spring arrive at my door. It almost made me cry....thank you! My photo doesn't do it justice.


(They won the "In-laws of the Year" award after this!)

Too bad....


The day this picture was taken, TJ said, "Too bad Baby has a cold, because if she didn't have a cold, she wouldn't have snot-cicles, and if she didn't have snot-cicles, she would look really cute in that dress!"

Chillin'




Now doesn't that just make you cold??

Spring house

Oh--and one more of the spring house--the wind last week blew the tin off.

Snow "Clifts"

Thought I'd share a few (?) photos of our snow "clifts" created in the past few days. The posts of the grape arbor are about 5 feet tall, just to give you a reference.

TJ thinks he'll be disappointed with Colorado snow when we move because we won't have these anymore....he has no idea what nice snow is like....a week or two ago we had a sunny day with only a breeze and he ran inside and said, "TW you HAVE to come outside! THIS IS SO AWESOME!" Poor kid thinks it's normal for snow to come straight sideways.....

From the porch:

In front of the front door:

From the walkway:

The boys crawling out on the drift so they don't sink all the way in--TJ had to rescue J later.

Excited for the big drop.






TW's turn!





J trying to sled. Later he came in because "The wind was trying to blow me away in the snow."

The drift is a "Tad" taller than the grape arbor.

Sigh...winter. Miss A was inside banging on the door wanting to come out the whole time I was taking these.
