Baby Laughing

There's really nothing better than a baby laughing. In case you need a little pick me up, here is a video of Griffin laughing.

4 Months!!!

Griffin turned 4 months old today, Valentine's Day. After eating our heart-shaped pizza, Griffin got to try out solid food for the first time. It looks like he's digging it, but actually he wasn't quite sure. He was leaning in for more after a while.

And while Griffin was eating, Avery was making a few calls. This girl sure knows how to talk on the phone. We're in trouble. Notice she also appears to be getting into something....

And finally, just a shot from what a snow day looks like in our house. Tough life, that's for sure. I think we've finally gotten out of ths now for the year, but we'll see!

After the Blizzard

Well we survived the blizzard! It's cold and sunny today and very beautiful. We ended up having 13.5 inches here but it was hard to tell since the snow was blowing around.

Chris and Avery got out it early to shovel.

Here is our pile before we were done. Someone got too cold to stay out long enough to get a picture with the pile at the end. Also, for Janine...this is the pile by the garage. The snow plow pile is about 6-12 inches higher.

On a side note, Griffin decided to give dad's arms a break yesterday. Still working on holding it still for very long...but it's a start.

Kids

First thing, Erin thought she saw something familiar when going through pictures of Griffin. This is each of them at 17 weeks. Only Griffin is about twice as big.

Pretty funny.

Here are a few pictures from the last snow day we had. Just got the call about 20 minutes ago that we have yet another snow day tomorrow. It's been hard to get rolling at school this semester but I guess I shouldn't complain.

Didn't get a picture of the sweet snow fort Avery and I built but I must say, it was pretty nice.

And now for a random assortment of picture of the boy.

He's a very happy little fella.

Winter break

My first winter break in about 17 years. I'd say this first picture about sums up how it felt.

Griffin loves his new glow seahorse. Must be the result of some cloning or cross breeding experiment or something. Glow worm crossed with a pony I think. Either way, Griffin likes it.

"Where oh where could my handsome prince be?"

We were just talking about the vikings season.

Ooh, what's that thing?

Hmm, and it's even got one of those things... I wonder...

Mmmm.

The first pony tail ever...in the whole world.

The "whole family" decided to plant some tulip bulbs since we had a nice 60 degree day.

Helper number 1.

Helper number 2

(Helper number 3 was too busy with the squirrels, Helper number 4 was taking these pictures, and Helper number 5 could give a "you know what" about tulips).

What a sweet face.

The end.
