Picnic

We have had an abnormally mild winter and the weather is nice enough for park days and picnic's in January. Finley and I have special mornings together on Fridays while Keenan is in school. This day she had her very first MyGym class and then a picnic in the park. I treasure time with just one kid. It's amazing how different they are when they are one on one.

Keenan's Tie

Finley made Keenan a paper tie at mom's day out...and Keenan was very proud!

Boat Show - Jan. 2012

I took Keenan to the boat show to see all the new models for fun and because he loves Patrick! We also got to see the famous waterskiing squirrel - twiggy. Fun mom/son day!

Grandma Bonnie

Great Grandma Bonnie (Ben's grandma) stopped through town over night on her way to Florida to be a snowbird.

The kids had fun 'doctoring her up' with their doctor kit and doing her hair!

Finley's friends

Finley is always such a sport about playing with Keenan's friends. She is finally old enough to really enjoy her own. Zoe and Sydney are in her class and she loves them! She calls Sydney (Cindy) and I think the three of them could get into some trouble....haha! (2 year old trouble of course!) :)

Back to School after Christmas Break

Weather around here has been so mild and we've been playing outside still a lot. We just went back to school today for the first time in a few weeks after the holiday's. It was nice for everyone I think, yet I can't deny I missed my kids as I am with them everyday all day and night for the last however many days.

They get an afternoon treat after school days and love to sit on our front porch and watch whatever is going on in the neighborhood. Today it was a fence being built next door. They are anxiously awaiting a visit from Papa Dave (aka Picklepants) and Great Grandma Bonnie who are stopping through just for the night.
