Wood, Nails, Paint and an Infant

We went to our first Home Depot day WITH Maddie and WITHOUT Cody.  Everyone still has their thumbs and eyes; the craft is, as far as I can tell, put together as intended; and everyone and their clothes came home the same color as when they left.  I would call that a raving success.

3 Months Old!

Maddie hit the big 3-mos the same day the Badgers played in the Rose Bowl.  We were definitely happy to have Maddie to celebrate because the Badgers certainly didn't give us much to cheer about.

Merry Christmas!

A Two-month-old Bundle of Love

Here is a two-month-old Madde snuggled in her brand new homemade quilt from Grandma Wisconsin.

Piano Pride

After one month of piano lessons, Caleb got to perform in his first recital in the performing arts building on the BSU campus.  Ask him to play Water Lily by Phillip Keveren; he's got it memorized and if you're lucky, you'll get vocals too.

Not Quite the Polar Express

The N Scale Model Railroad Club opens its doors every Saturday in December to the gawking public.  We took our train lover who ran around in awe of the entire room filled with city-scapes, tunnels, tressles,    and trains.  As an added bonus, the kids got to meet Santa, who just happened to park his sleigh on the same floor.

Ice Fascination

We have a small water feature in our backyard. With the cold then mild then cold then mild winter we're having, it has provided a ton of ice interest.
