Just a few new pictures...

Andrew recently learned how to "climb" and loves to watch out the window.
Isaac is always happy and smiling! He also loves to watch out the window,
especially when Sean is playing outside :) Hi, Nala...totally afraid of anything the moves...

Sean loves to pose for the camera!

He is quite the Big Man of the house, and is excited for his birthday coming up soon!

Our Week...

Isaac and Sean
Andrew and Sean

Sean and all his tickets!!

It has been a busy week!

1. First of all...ISAAC IS A CRAWLER!! He is now moving forward and no longer the "guy in reverse!" He is very proud of himself, and we can't stop watching him try :) Way to go!

2. Sean got to go to Adventure Zone with me last Friday. This place is awesome! It has an indoor jungle gym, a big blow-up slide, arcade games, food, climbing wall, and more. For $5 he got to play for 2 whole hours. He learned how to play "skeet ball" (?) and won tickets! Indoor fun on a frigid cold Duluth day. Thanks, Cathy, for taking us!

3. Andrew is cutting more teeth! He now has both his top "I" teeth coming through. It has been a little rough going; runny nose, sore teeth, and chapped mouth :( Hope that he gets over this hump fast!

4. We officially put our house on the market Monday! Yikes! Keep us in your prayers, as we are hoping for the right buyer to walk through the door! We are looking at moving to the cities at the beginning of June.

5. I have learned how to sell things on eBay! It is a cool way of having a "garage sale" without all the work. I hope to avoid the real thing by doing this...we will see ;)

6. Graham is busting hard at school. He is studying day and night preparing for course work/tests and his Board Test coming up in May.

Shoveling the Roof...

Imagine this:

The boys and I leave the house at 9:15am to take Sean to his YMCA class,

and we come home to find this...

4 Feet of snow filling all of the sidewalks that lead up to our house!

(Our HOA decided it was time to shovel the roof, as they got a call of a leaky roof.)

So, I try the back door...

Yup...4+ Feet of snow filling the nice path that Graham shovels for us.

Sean loved the "mountains" of snow that he got to climb!

I plowed through carrying one baby at a time into the house.
A warning would have been nice, but we managed. It was lunch time
and (more importantly) it was nap time. I wasn't going to let them miss it :)

I should note that the guys did shovel out the sidewalks
and Graham's path before leaving, so that was nice... ;)

News...

1. Isaac got his first tooth today!! He is so excited and loves to show it off :) It is just a ripple, but oh, so sweet.

2. Andrew stands in his crib now! Ugh! He is growing up too fast!

3. First night of trying to sleep train the twins...NOT looking forward to it :( But we all need sleep.

4. Sean is loving his new color books; trucks and dinosaurs. He colors and then hangs it on the fridge with tape. Very cute :)

5. Making lists of things to do before selling this place. Closets and paint touch ups are next. Great place, if you know of anyone wanting a new house or rental ;)

New Boots!

Check out these cutie-pa-tuties!

Isaac with his Moose Boots!
Andrew with his Monster Boots!

Sean, striking a pose...he wants new shoes ;)

Holidays

Here's our "Top 10" of this holiday season!

10. Organizing our house! We will be putting it on the market in the next few weeks, and I need to make sure it is in tip top shape!
9. Alli visited us up here! She came to visit us and some of her old friends on her way to a wedding. We had a blast hanging out, swimming, and going out to eat! Thanks, Alli! (Don't you just love wet socks...NOT!)
8. Andrew is now pulling himself up on things and standing...it is all going way too fast!
7. Isaac is clapping his little heart out and rocking back and forth on his knees. His first tooth looks like it is about to appear any day, too!
6. Sean is in toy heaven :) Monster trucks, motorcycles, Scooby Doo, Playmobile, Pillowpet, dinosaurs, remote cars, light saber...
5. New Year's Eve was spent with a great family at our home. Adults and kids had a blast :)
4. Gave Molly a really fun baby shower with my sisters!
3. Had a great night out at the Jacoby house! We sure have missed them and enjoyed our time.
2. We were so lucky to have been able to spend the holidays with our families! Our kids were showered with lots of love and lots of gifts :) Very magical! Thanks everyone!
1. We started our family tradition of waking up Christmas morning at our house to open Santa's presents and have breakfast! Rocked!
