Snow Day

Who's ready for snow!!!

Winking

Here's an inside look at our daily winking practice. By the time the 2024 Olympics come around, we hope to have at least one entrant in the Speed Winking competition. Or, maybe the Synchronized Winking event. I think we'd take a Silver. Everyone knows the Gold Winking medal is owned by the Finns.

Funny Mornings After Ryan Leaves for Work

Yes, Jake is singing "Dirty Old Town" (for all you Irish music lovers out there) and yes, he is wearing Sadie's pink tights as a "scarf". His neck was cold. Well, that is what he told me anyway.

The funniest part of this sequence was at the end when I asked Sadie what she thought of Jake's singing, (unfortunately, it was cutoff) she replied, "Dirty Old Town". Hmm..okay, yes, good answer, Sadie.

Fun weekend

While Ali toiled away working on her schoolwork, Grandpa and I took the kids down to Family Engineering Day at the National Building Museum this past Saturday. It was PACKED! They had all kinds of fun stuff, like guys climbing ropes, drag racers, fighting robots, bridge building and milk carton-balloon race car building.

Here they are in front of the drag racer (that's Sadie practicing her "smile"):
Saturday night we met the Bowers for pizza and ping pong. Here is Jake working his charms on Lily:Once again, the weekend consisted of only two days. Boo. Can't wait for the long weekend down at the lake!

Happy Valentines Day!

Yes, I know it's actually tomorrow, but it's the big party day at school today. See the full photo shoot here.

Dance routine

Bath time usually ends this way, with both kids half dressed dancing on our bed and trying hard to keep us entertained enough so that we'll forget it's bedtime.

Time for a new post

Okay, it's time for a new post. I am tired of looking at my grey turtleneck and brown cords. Hey! I was dressed for warmth that day, not fashion! Anyway, we had a great weekend with cousin Lissa, baby Jeremy, and jelly doughnuts..... (sorry, Lissa escaped the camera)
