This was the photo I didn't pick for the announcement, but it was a VERY close second.

Happy Monday!

Mallory had a holiday from school, those pre-school classes are so stressful after all. And we ALL needed an outing. So Nonnie and I worked and worked to load the children, lunch and other accouterments into the car and met Aunt Jenn at the zoo.

The carousel is always a fun treat.

And no visit to the zoo is complete without a session on the playground at the swings. 

A very successful outing complete with bottle feeding for a very wrapped Mark.

Thank you Nonnie and Aunt Jenn for making our zoo visit possible and LOTS of fun!

I love pictures of newborns in bookcases. LOVE THEM. It only seems right that I torture my newborn with his new bookcase. Love you sweet boy!

And who can resist newborn baby feet? Not me!!

It's snowing here! The snow began falling Thursday and it's still falling! It's really great snow, enough to play in but not enough to play havoc with travel plans. Mallory's friend at school told the whole class about snowball fights and she was ready to go out and play. 

First we had a snowball making lesson.

Then we had a snowball throwing lesson.

And we discovered that keeping your eyes open helps!

And that practice helps too….

Sadly all our snowballs fell apart-no matter how hard we packed them together.

And there is no forgetting the birds…..

We are having a great time playing in the snow!! And will be glad when it warms up again 🙂

We are excited to see what the year will hold!
