This Sunday we celebrated Grandpa’s birthday with playtime on the Wii. After his nap…er… game it was time for Cake!  Yummy!  Tatie took a little video of him blowing out his one candle. For your birthday this year Dad, I have made you something special!  Click on the link below. Grandpa’s Birthday Surprise!

We are alive!  Thank you all so much for calls and emails!  We have survived the storm!  Here is a picture of our backyard this afternoon with all the trees incased in ice.  It was so beautiful with the sun shining. We were without power for 36 hours. We braved it for the first day, […]

We had yet another snow day today and it looks like the kids will be out tomorrow as well with more snow on the way.  We have had an eventful two days though.  The kids have played outside, cleaned their rooms, Sydney has been chief chef, and Kinsey sunk so low as to alphabetize the […]

I am feeling a little Simon and Garfunkel right now with the freezing cold temperatures we have had the last few weeks.   We have had a lovely couple of weeks.  Aunt Holly took Kinsey to the nail salon to have her first manicure.  She chose to get a full set of fake nails painted navy […]

The girls were being particularly difficult this evening about going to bed.  Given that its the night before our Christmas celebrations begin, this is not unusual.  But then the two youngest began coming out and complaining of something flying around there room, my patience ended.  I looked around their room for this mysterious winter moth […]

Sydney’s birthday has past and we all know what that means!  Its Christmas tree time!  Unlike my wonderful would-be-twin in Norway who waits to put up her tree until Christmas eve.  At our house we put up the tree the week after Sydney’s birthday and take it down just before Kinsey’s.  This way no one […]

This year we decided to “Go Green” for Halloween. We decided not to buy any costumes and have the girls make costumes from what ever they could find around the house.
