Haven't Given Up Yet...

Well, we haven't totally given up blogging although I'm sure some of you are wondering! We have had fairly uneventful days here and I won't bore you with the details... rather mundane things going on... (laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc.).
We did have a fun weekend with our good friends, Bob and Nana. Callie was home as well, so good times there. It snowed while we were there and the boys couldn't have been happier.
We came home and went to Papa and Grandma Paula's for Christmas day... the boys got some fun things and we had a relaxing day. Jim got sick on Christmas day--sore throat (swollen tonsil stuff), fever, headache... this lasted until just this weekend. Yikes. Thankfully no one else has gotten it.
On Saturday we went back out to Papa and Grandma Paula's to celebrate with Papa's family. This was not the relaxing celebration we had earlier in the week! Lots of people and the kids were a little overwhelmed. Fun to be with family though.
Last night we were with friends and we did not stay up until midnight... our neighbors did wake up up with fireworks though... :)
Happy New Year!

Reese and his new fishing pole... he bugged Papa to take him fishing the rest of the day.

Reese told Bob that he "needed" a snow shovel when he went out in the snow... Bob obliged.

Two little marshmallows...


Reese had no mercy with his brother and kept throwing snow at him. Carsten couldn't get his hands to work in his gloves to make a snowball and then couldn't aim to get it at Reese...

The boys were playing on the computer while we packed things up...

I love your new blog header picture! Also the background color is eye-popping bright. Maybe I should paint a wall in my house this color..Glad to read a new post, and that you are still blogging. I am sure it is hard with all those boys to take care of to keep up with a blog, but we like to read it.
love, brandy
