First Snow

Well…for those of you that count on this blog for a good story, or for a good update for your nephews and grandsons… forgive this long period of silence. The truth is, our camera broke and I’ve been incredibly busy. I am not the best juggler and something had to go in order for the sanity to remain. That said, I borrowed my mom’s camera and have some new events to blog about. John’s Birthday was January 23rd and we had a wonderful birthday weekend. The highlight was a house full of fun visitors. My college roomate and dear friend Raegan vetured down from Lexington with her kids, Mallaney, age 3 and Max, 4 months. I had such a wonderful time with Raeg, that I was tricked into thinking we were celebrating my birthday. I am waiting on pictures, so I’ll have to post on that later. For now, enjoy some fun pics of my three men celebrating our first Virginia snow of 2009! So Fun!!!!

This was Ben’s first experience with snow. At first he stayed on the porch and observed and then he joined in gleefully as daddy pretended to be searching for animal tracks a.k.a John tracks.

My camera was a little too fast and snapped just prior to an adorable and priceless brother hug.

We are lacking in the snowsuit department for Ben. We just layered him good and finished him off with a U of L nylon suit.

Daddy and Ben!!! Aren’t thy cute! Red is a mandatory color in our house these days. I am finally a true Cardinals fan. I’m addicted. I don’t think I am very fun to watch a game with however. I can’t shut up and I bite my nails the whole time and scream a lot.

Chris is clearly teaching his sons who to root for from an early age…thus the CUBS snow hat that is clearly to big for John. Last night John siad he neede to perform a talent show adn he stood on top of the coffee table and sang the entire “GO CUBS GO” song…stay tuned for a video Chris says he will upload later of that.
