Oh, my it was COLD this morning!
We needed to get out of the house though. John had the van so we decided to take a walk to the post office. It was the first time Joseph rode his bike on a real walk. He actually listened to me and was very pleasant. The CSO project is working near the post office. This was some free entertainment for us! We parked the stroller and sat - for at least 10 minutes - and watched the "digger man" and the digger.

When we got home we all warmed up with a cup of hot chocolate - and we had burned an hour and half! woo-who!!

Lollipops get you clean...

well not exactly...but these special pops were SO big, we thought the bath tub was the best place to eat them. Cousin Tara is so good to us! As you can see, this was a fun activity for the Stones.

John and I have been fighting the stomach bug all week. Luckily, the kids avoided it. They all four started with colds this morning...hopefully it won't be too bad.

Joseph and I went to our first dog party tonight. It was a puppy warming shower for my friend Ann's new puppy, Paddock. He is a cute little guy who she adopted from the LHS. He and his sisters were dumped on the side of the road...all have been adopted! yeah!

Happy New Year

The new year is off to a pretty good start. Last night we moved Reed into Joseph's room. Now we have a boys room and a girls room. Joseph and Reed were both VERY excited about the move. Joseph gave Reed a big hug when I told him what was going to happen. Well, after two hours of talking, singing and reading to each other...John went in and had to threaten them to get them to be quiet and go to sleep :)
I feel very blessed to have four healthy children.
