typical Saturday?

yep.  a little sewing, a little snow, a little song.   The kids started out the day with Little Gym.  Kateri came over to freshen up on her sewing! Then we all had some fun out in the snow.  Yep... it finally snowed again.  It's been a real warn winter so far, so the kids were real excited! 
Then we had a nice dinner with Bapa, Gramma and Chloe... ending the evening with our usual dance time =)  who wouldn't be happy with this life!

little valentines

My 3 little valentines decided they wanted to make a craft....bingo... just saw one on Pinterest that looked quite easy, so we tried it!  The kids had a blast making the Heart Wreaths.  Now they are hanging on their doors and the they are so proud! 
my only suggestion for anyone trying this... use an extra strong adhesive like glue-dots.  The hearts kept popping open  =).

sweet visit

This past weekend Katie, Damian and Grayson came for a visit.  It was nice having them stay in our home... being able to relax, let the kids nap, and just know we didn't have a whole lot to do.  With that said, the kids did have Little Gym class Saturday morning.... BUT we totally took advantage and let little Grayson come along for the class.  It was quite apparent that he, Chloe and Gabi had a blast!  Thanks for a nice visit, and we can't wait to head back to Columbus soon!

time well spent

Over the last couple of weeks our lives have been filled with sharing them with many special people.  We feel so blessed to have so many friends and family members fill our days with laughter and joy.  Gabi and Chloe have started The Little Gym together.  Isa and Will are back in their Little Gym class.  Isa's ballet class started back up and she is loving it.  I think it's easier for her to go since her 2 girlfriends Natalie and Gina are there with her. 
Isa has been a little princess lately. She loves dressing up in her new Cinderella outfit (insisting this is what she will be for Halloween... we will see).  She has also been a great helper in the kitchen, assisting me with this and that at almost every meal.  I am glad she enjoys cooking!
We went Ice Skating with the kids' preschool last week.  Will did great!  He started off with the walker for assistance, but quickly ditched it to venture out on his own.  His proud smile was priceless!  Isa wasn't feeling all that in the mood for it, but still skated a little.
We have also been spending time with lots of friends and fostering new friendships!  With that said... we have had our share of family visitors!  Uncle Jona came over the 1st time this year and the kids were super excited!  This weekend, we have Katie, Damian and lil Grayson over... oh what fun!
