SNOW!

It started snowing Friday afternoon. I was scheduled to leave with 5 friends for Myrtle Beach to run a Half Marathon. We decided it would be safer to not drive 8 hours in the snow; plus, we didn't think we were going to want to run in 30 degree weather Saturday morning. The best Valentines present Rob could hope for: he was not alone all weekend with the kids. Ha! Anyway, we played in the snow for a few ours yesterday and had a blast!

Snow Day!

This was January 8th ... we woke up to everything covered in white. School was closed so we bundled up and went sledding down the long hill in our neighborhood. One of our neighbors recently told me that she saw us all coming down the hill; Rob in his camo and beard, Roscoe not on a leash and me with a baby strapped to the front of me and she thought we were a hippie family - "mountain people" was her term. Nice.

Sunny is FOUR and Wade is ONE!

Let them eat Cake!

My friend Tricia made these cakes for the kids for their birthday party! A princess and a frog. The princess was a white cake with a thin layer of raspberry and the frog was a red velvet cake. We were able to remove the frog off the top of the lily pad and let Wade feed himself. He loved it! Riley was so proud of her cake too!

Christmas 2009

Long overdue but here are a few Christmas pictures. It was sad to not be with family but it was also wonderful to not travel. We put out cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve and when Sunny woke up in the morning, the cookies were gone and there were LOTS of presents ... it was so much fun!

December 2009

There are polo fields near our house with horses roaming free. The owner plays polo there and allows the public to bring kids and dogs and to pet the horses. It is beautiful; we plan to go back when it's warmer and take Roscoe!
