Greta first lost tooth

Greta's first tooth fell out last month and I just love her smile now. She enjoys being a big sister to her little brothers. She excels at her pre-school class which is only two mornings a week although she would rather stay home. Her brace came off a couple of weeks ago and she is glad to be able to go to the park and run and jump. She plans to learn to ride her bike without training wheels soon. I am a little nervous, but will let her in the spring. She and Clara moved their rooms together. It is hard keeping it clean, but they enjoy sister slumber parties every night.

Jonas update

Jonas is 9 1/2 now and a great kid. He loves to play outside and read. He just completed the Harry Potter series and has started on The Hunger Games. We have to make sure to remember to stop him from reading all night and go to sleep. Last weekend we were tired and went to bed earlier than him- he finished his book and stayed up until 1am. Thank goodness it was a weekend. He also enjoys riding bikes, exploring, playing catch, and reenacting battle scenes. I need to catch him on camera one of these days.
He does well at school and completed his Bear rank in cub scouts a few months ago.

Levi is 5 months old

Here are some cute shots that I had taken at Target. Levi is 5 months old, about 19 pounds and a very happy baby. He rolls over, can almost sit up by himself and loves to laugh.

Adam's 2nd birthday party

My cute newphew

It was so fun to play with my nephew Maverick so much this last month. He turned 1 December 22 and it makes me smile every time I see his face.

Stockings from Nana

My sister came up from Houston after Christmas. We rode a train that a nice guy sets up in his yard every December, then opened stockings from Nana and had a family dinner. The cousins had a great time playing together.

Frozen Fountain

It has been really cold here the last several days. Here is a picture of one of the fountains that Mike works on, very cool effect.
