Snow Day #4 with Lane-anardo da Vinci

The whole proportion thing about the 'Vitruvian Man' works with 3 year olds, too. 


We got six inches of snow last night and it's still falling.  I'm too chicken... cold... to go out in it :)!

Snow Day #3, February 3, 2011

Chad went outside to block the mailman from sliding into our car :)!

Sweet Lane and Sweet Brooke.

Brooke is 2 days shy of 3 weeks old.  Already seems to be going by so fast!

February 2, 2011

We would probably be inside anyway, but this was day two of being iced in.  Lane and I have so enjoyed doing so many activities inside the house... cutting, mazes, reading books in bed, reading more books, making play doh, making a list of cities, states and countries Lane wants to visit, putting books on hold at the library about New York - one of the places Lane wants to go,  etc., etc.  So much fun spending time with my babies!

February 1, 2011 - Bekah's Visit and Brooke's First Bath

Brooke, 2 weeks and 3 days new.

Our neighbor Bekah.  She came by to meet Brooke and brought her an awesome welcome home gift... a very plush, fluffy bath towel with a pink flower on the hood.

Brooke's first bath.  Lane was a big helper.  He got the wash cloths ready and was ready to help comfort her by going 'sh, sh, sh' if she got upset. 

Mommy and Brooke.  I love this baby!

Lane's Moby Wrap

Lane used the 'belt' from my robe to fashion his own Moby Wrap :)!  Very creative I thought.

Jacob is FIVE!


After playing soccer and basketball in the rec center, we went upstairs for cake, presents and a football pinata! Lane mentioned several times the next day what a good time he had at Jacob's party!  I can't believe he's already five years old.

Ernie, Brooke and Lane.

Our Midwife's Retirement Party, January 29, 2011

Becky Burpo and Brooke, 2 weeks old, at Becky's retirement party.  Becky was the midwife at both Lane and Brooke's births.  We are so thankful for her and wish her all the best in her retirement.
