Snow!




















Annika kept asking all winter "Where's all the snow?!" So in February we went up to the mountains and Annika finally saw where all the snow is. They ran and played and went down the hill on a sled and threw snow balls. But Annika and Liesel got pretty wet feet as we were not prepared with snow boots. Near the end we took their socks shoes off and bundled them in blankets and extra jackets. While sitting on this log together Annika glumly said to Liesel, "I wish snow was warm." Liesel agreed. Nathaniel, on the other hand had borrowed some snow boots from cousins and was having the time of his life building a snow fort!


Elora is here on Aunt Rebecca's shoulders. She did not really know what to think of the snow!

Annika's Ears





Hi there! This is Ben posting again. Thought I would share a quick story about our adventure while voting in the primary election on "Super Tuesday." We voted at a baptist church just a few minutes from the house. We decided to just go together and bring the children along for the experience. They didn't want to go, but eventually we all jumped into the car and assured them that it was only going to be a short trip to vote.

Everything went fine until we started to leave and Annika started crying. She was very upset and we couldn't figure out why. She was finally able to explain that she never got her short trip on a BOAT! I swear, that girl has more wax in her ears......

Enjoy these pictures of the one and only Annika Rose!

Ben actually posted these pictures!

Elora loves her horse! She also enjoys scaring us by rocking back and forth as far as she can.


Annika is a Sunbeam!




OK, Nate found our old camera and went crazy. We now have an abundance of very strange pictures. Our favorite is this one with Liesel wearing a bathrobe and pointing a wooden gun. Note the flowers stuck in the robe for good measure. Maybe we should stop letting our children watch James Bond movies....
