snowed in


camping indoors. trust J to come up with this ingenious idea of setting up tents for the kids. their fav toys were also invited to the session.


boom-boom shoes. indoor version of ice skates.

when the cold winter weather drives us indoors & the boys crazy, we often have to think of "outdoor" things to do indoors.

i'm thinking of our old neigbor's spring tulips, chirping birds, green budding leaves, colorful blooms, farm babies at the zoo... in the dead of winter. spring offically starts mar 20. in MN, it starts warming up much later.

this spring we have something extra to look forward to. adele's birth! which is any time now. we trust in God's perfect timing. though i have my own selfish little extras - morning, when J is home & not in school, when J's dad is here. :)

my numerous blogs tonight are a reflection of a 3rd trimester nestling instinct - instinct to clean the house & tie some loose ends before baby comes along. i'm hoping to do some arty spring stuff with the boys before adele arrives. green grass, colorful spring flowers, fluffy bunnies, chirping birds, rainbows....

Hallo! I loved reading about all the fun stuff you and the boys have been up to. I also relate to that slightly-apprehensive feeling of "what if we don't have time to do such and such after the baby comes?" I found that I still did stuff just days after giving birth! The energy that you have after being 10 lb lighter is amazing! And having the boys around you will make you just want to keep doing and doing. Life just bulldozes on! We're praying for you!
