Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day

from the Three Amigos!

Talking to Gran

I was pretty sick for over a week -

so my wonderful Mom came to the rescue!

Sometimes I need her as much as my little ones need me -

and I am so thankful that she was willing and able to come take care of us!

As most of you know, my mom is the "Baby Whisperer."

So, she and Daniel are like two peas in a pod.

Can you see the adoration in his face

as he "talks" to Gran?

Snuggle Time with Siblings

Kate and Matthew both love to hold Daniel.

They call it "snuggle time" and

we try to help them get in some snuggle time

in every day!

(Notice that Matthew is holding Daniel's hand.

So sweet!)

Erika & Daniel

My cousin, Erika, and her fiance, Daniel,

came over one night to meet Baby Daniel

and hang-out!

It was really fun to catch up!

Stir Crazy!

After over a week of being pretty house-bound

because of the snow and new baby,

we were all ready for an outing!

So, Tim and I took the kids to one of our favorite places

to let off steam -

the Udvar-Hazy museum!

The museum has lots of neat airplanes to look at

and plenty of wide open space for the kids to run around...

oh, and a McDonald's.

Perfect!

Daniel slept through most of his first museum visit.

Snow Day!

Kate and Matthew were absolutely delighted

to have a snow day at the end of January!

Daniel and I stayed warm and dry inside

while Tim and the big kids played outside.

Cousin Round-Up

Uncle Jon and Aunt Loren brought

Cousins Anna, Ben and Drew

to meet Daniel

and to play with Kate and Matthew

when Daniel was only 9 days old!

It was so sweet of them to drive up

to spend just a few hours together -

and was a really neat time together!

These kids are going to have so much fun growing up together!

Here's photographic evidence

(although it's really tough to get a good picture of SIX kids!):
