It is a cold and windy afternoon and I have an unusually quite house. Steve's dad and his wife came for a visit and they are all up at the Farm Show. I do love going to the Farm Show but the idea of dragging a baby around there was not too enticing. More enticing was a day by myself! (and the babe, of course.) I did have lots of grand plans about what I was going to get done today, none of which has happened. Oh well, I am very much enjoying the quiet and ease of just one little man to care for!!
I have so many pictures that I have not posted over the past few weeks. Part of it is just the busyness, it's hard for me to find as much time to sit. But also, I really hate my winter, indoor pictures. I love being outside and taking pictures outside, none of which is happening these days. So my dark, yellowish indoor shots aren't quite as fun to mess around with. But here they all are in very random order.

| Aaron's birthday at my parents. He was very excited to open this box Steve's mom sent in the mail |
 |
| Not sure who trusted her with the cake! |
 |
| Steve got us a fondue set and the kids had a blast with it |
 |
| How exactly does one eat a chocolate covered marshmallow in a civilized way? |
 |
| My kids wake up very, very early. I took this picture one morning at 6:30 of them all playing legos. Note: if I took the picture at 6:30, that means they were up what time?? |
 |
| Our little work crew. My uncle, who lives next door, hired them to work in his chicken house. |
 |
| I got my girls a cake pop maker for Christmas and gave it to them early so they could make them for some gifts. They had lots of fun making them. |
 |
| This is supposed to be with the fondue pics. She was not happy that she had to finish the bite of supper that was in her mouth before she could "fondue". |
 |
| Back when I had Josiah, I had a vision of getting a picture of him all curled up under the Christmas tree. I kept forgetting to do it. I thought of it just the other evening as he was waking up. I waited too long and he is stirring and uncurled. Nice idea. |
 |
| Another fondue shot. She finally finished her bite. |
 |
| I took these pics the other day. Whenever my kids pair up to play, it is usually Greta and Claudia and then Aaron and Morgan. The other day C&G took a bubble bath together. M&A took to painting. This all happened on their own initiative. |
 |
| This and the next pic were taken by Morgan |
 |
| Christmas card reject but still super cute. |
 |
| The other day I laid Josiah on his belly to see what he would do. This was the look on his face. He was concentrating very hard!! |
 |
| A cuter moment that afternoon |
 |
| Josiah curled up on daddy's chest while he was reading |
