Singing


The Winter of my Discontent






This is a very typical messy meal.






I couldn't find Tristan one day because he was inside Boo's dog igloo. He then invited Ben inside too.






Hanging with their friend Maddox.








I don't get it, but they love to wear one snow boot each.









These were some elk right behind our house one day.









Free shipping on the next two items!





















I guess they love small spaces because they are always in Boo's kennel too! Look at Tristan just lounging :)











Sitting like big boys!











Super Bowl!












Tristan loves this pig. He bear hugs it and sleeps with it all night.





Not to be a negative Nelly but it has been one long winter. Hence, the lack of posts. We have had one sickness after another. The latest was Easter where Luke and I stayed home. We had the lamest egg hunt ever with Tristan as our star. I located all the other eggs at the end of the day. This winter also landed Tristan a 2 night stay at the hospital for rsv and pneumonia.




For the rest of the winter...it is a blur between sicknesses and catching up from their aftermath. Today I looked at the twins and noticed that they each had one sock, one had his pants on the other only a shirt (even though they were both dressed at some point) and I thought well it's like I have one whole boy dressed. That's a pretty typical day. Once I clean up one disaster they are making another.




They are climbing, running trying to say lots. They seem to play more with each other and having more fun. They hug each other and bring each other drinks and cookies. Sometimes Tristan sneaks a bite in the one he gives Ben though.




Luke is doing great! He has a great vocabulary and talks like such a little man. Today he said he was 'distracting' the baby. He also says things like, "Mom, I'm afraid I won't be able to..." He is swimming very well too. He puts his head under the water and dives down for things. At swimming he jumps off the diving board into the deep end with fearless determination.




Well. spring is just taking a while to start here. We had a little snow yet again today. Summer will come soon, but it seems far away. Next year, I am switching grades and buildings. I am excited, but quite sad to leave some very nice people and good friends. Anyway, maybe if the sicknesses cease, I can blog again.
