Happy Birthday Amelia!!!



Happy 10th to my Amelia. A very special milestone as you step in to the double digits. I know you are trying to "find" yourself these days. But at the same time, there is so much going on...it is no wonder you can get frustrated. This is only the beginning of growing up. But I guarantee that the journey ahead will be just as fun and exciting!!!!!!!!!!!

Winter Wonderland

Maybe we need those rubber boots that go ABOVE the knee!!




On one rare warm Saturday afternoon, we decided to embark on a new outing....make some tracks on the untouched thick blanket of white snow in our backyard. The girls asked many times to play outside but with the cold temps, I kept saying no. But I knew I could not say that every time.

Aidan did not have boots, so he was only allowed to sit on the sled while we gave him some snow to play with. He looked cute in his new snowsuit. He wasn't able to move because it was kind of big. But he was very curious in touching the white stuff.

When it was time to go in, he cried and wanted to play. Sorry bud, you did not want to wear the mitts so your hands were really cold. I had to bring him in while daddy played with the girls outside.

On to celebrations....February not only has Valentines Day..but also some special birthdays too. Amelia (turns 10 on the 24th), Sephin (turns 3 on the 21st), Chloe (turns 1 on the 11th), Samuel (turns...well, he probably does not want that disclosed but we know you are not 18)...and mom -- mah gee, po po or mah mah. (turning 28 for the n-th time). Happy birthday to all ...wishing you all ... good health with lots of cake and presents!!
