Date day for Mama and Auden...

After a series of successful bedtimes with no fuss,

Auden was rewarded with a special date day.

At his request, we got sushi for lunch,

saw Gnomio and Juliette

and then at Mama's idea (*wink*) got Cold Stone.

So proud of you, big guy!!

In like a lion...

Can't belive March is already almost half way through.

We got another whopper of a snow fall which we managed with one shovel.

If you know our property, you know this was no small undertaking!

We are looking forward to all that Spring has to offer.

Auden coming back up the road, BY HIMSELF, from leaving

a picture in Barb's mailbox. Big guy!

Auden...

Auden is almost 5....wth???...yep, 5.

He is so inquisitive and courageous, we are impressed all the time.

He is a wonderful big brother and is very excited about getting on the bus in the fall.

Ella...

Ella is getting so big...we have no idea where the time has gone!

Her vocabulary is taking off, she's riding the trike

and still loves her big brother SO much.

Valentine's Day 2011...

A little peek at Valentine's Day morning at the house.

Kids at the Discovery Center...

On the drive from Owego to Ithaca.

Snuggling in for a Christmas Eve movie!

More holiday fun...

Ella LOVES her Yura!

Auden very excited at his school's holiday sing-a-long.

Christmas Cookies 2010...

2010 Christmas tree hunt...

Little Ella's first walking trip to get the tree.

Ella and Daddy...
don't they look so sweet?
Little does Ella know...in about 10 minutes, Daddy is going to toss a huge snowball
at Mommy...miss, and hit Ella right in the head.
Ho, ho, holy crap...you just hit the 'little' in the head!

Diana, Garrick, Chloe and us...our yearly trip to Molyneaux's!

They trustingly let us lead them to the tree farm, every year.

And every year we take a wrong turn and get lost.

Next year we'll follow them!
