Snow Day

Sledding Before Dinner

First Flurries

Today our first snow flurries of the year fell. Eric took the kids outside to try and catch snowflakes. Unfortunately, there weren't too many snowflakes for them to catch, but they still had fun trying!

Happy Birthday Otis!

This has been the fastest year of my life. I cannot believe how quickly Otis's first year has gone. It seems like only yesterday Eric and I were off to the hospital to have our second baby. Before he was born, we loved him immensely and couldn't wait to spend our days with him. Otis has proven to be sweet and loving, and quite a troublemaker! I still remember the first time we heard him laugh. Eric and I weren't quite sure what it was, but he's been smiling and laughing ever since. For as much as we love Otis, Maddie seems to love him even more. She started a game called "Cuddle Pile", in which we all hug and kiss in one pile. It's quite cute and Otis loves it. We are so amazed and awed to have him as part of our family and can't wait to watch him grow up!
