Blizzard...

These pictures were taken Saturday when we had just gotten 12 inches of snow. Neat.

The weather channel says a blizzard should arrive by this evening. Amelia gymnastic class gets over at 5:15, should be a fun ride home.



On the news last night they said the annual snowfall for the Chicagoland area is 38 inches a season and we've already had 36 1/2 so far. What a year to move to the midwest.

Fun

Sissy and her friend Ava at the Children's Museum.

Ava is a really nice girl from Amelia's class at school and they have a great time together.

Ava's been making these for Sissy at school and they go right on the fridge. It's a pretty serious friendship.
We are in love with this guy. He's loves to sit up and watch all the crazy action in this home.
He's just as happy laying on his back... poor guy still can't roll over.
Love their morning faces.

Special Visitors... and Sitting Up.

The Williams clan stayed here last night so they could catch their plane to Phoenix this am. It was great to have one last night of playing in the basement and fun for the parents too.
Mr. MackyMac is sitting up all by himself as of today. Is this shirt funny or what?
So proud of himself!
Hooray!

A Walk in January

We were dying to get outside so we bundled up and walked to Amelia's school just a couple blocks away from our home.
Can you say FREEEEEEEEEEEZING!!!!!!

Scott ran home and got the car for us because the kids were way too cold to walk.

Mac stayed nice and warm, thanks an old outfit of Hanks.

Mac sliding...

Hopscotch.Then Scott made up some crazy running game.Super girl!
A big group hug to keep warm. I think we'll try the park again in about 3 months.

New Years Eve and Day

We drove to Muscatine Iowa to see our friends and have some lunch at the Pizza Ranch. Scott and O.


Robyn, Mac and 1/2 of Luker.



Toasting in the new years with a little game of hearts.

Matching boys!


Then we drove to my cousin Karla's house to celebrate New Years Day. Cousin Karla, Kassie and Nanny Betty.
Cousins.Scott and Aunt Karoline.Nanny making Mac laugh.

These guys were so tired!
We didn't want to drive all the way back to Chicago so we stopped in Muscatine again and spent the night at Robyn's brothers new house. It's awesome and he hasn't even moved in yet. All of us.This room actually made a really sweet dance floor.Exploring the outdoors.

To a bakery for a local favorite donut. If you're ever visiting the Williams make sure they take you to the Tipton Bakery.
Overall a really great weekend.
