Emelia LOVES Scout. She has loved him for a long time, he was the first thing that she would crawl after, her first word was dog and now she gives him extra treats a few times a day. She is always so proud of herself when she does this!

Important Jobs

Diesel tom was given an important job tonight... 

To go around the mountain, under the bridge and to successfully deliver a load of

CATS. 

It's goofy.

Chalkboard!

Over Christmas break I cleaned and threw away and reorganized Emi's room to change it from the "spare 'oom" to a fun play place for the kids and a nice place for her to sleep.

I'll show you the fun parts of her room one at a time to draw this out, but this is one of the kid's favs!

Garrick stole borrowed repossessed  this piece of old heavy slate from his parent's house and then made a beautiful chalk tray and frame for it. We are using sidewalk chalk on the board right now, but actually it works better since they are always dropping the chalk all over the place..

 Emi likes to stand there and make thousands of little vertical lines. Peter is a little more productive. He l ikes to decorate drawings that I make, draw his own "race tracks" and trace letters that I make in dots. He is also starting to make the letter 'P' and some shapes on his own up there. He also likes to drag a parking garage over to the board and drawing in the upper upper corners of the board as well. I'm really surprised at how much he likes to do this. He normally doesn't really like to draw and write

Also- do you see how tall they look? 
1. Peter is really shooting up, he looks like a giant next to little Emi.
2. Emi is also shooting up, I knit her those little brown pants this week. I thought I had measured her right to make them long enough but maybe she grew? Not to sure about this.

Our snowy weekend!

And it is just about the only one of the whole winter! Almost all of our snow is done as of right now- Pete and garrick just built a snowman in the front yard last week when I was at work with the rements of what was left!

But we did make it down to my parent's house last weekend for a weekend of taking Pete skiing (videos to come) and getting out skiing at Mirror Lake on our own!

Doesn't Get any cuter...

Than puppies and babies together!

There is a picture of Scout on my mom's camera from when he was a little puppy and everytime I see it, my heart just melts. In fact, I was looking at pictures of Pete from right when he was born and got to that one and said, aww... my mom came over to see which amazing shot of my kid that I loved... nope it was the dog.

Needless to say when our friend asked if we wanted to come to their farm to see their puppies, we were there in a flash.

 Pete liked running around and having the puppies chase him.

 He also found a dump truck and was loading the puppies in and driving them around.

 Emelia just loved sitting and letting them crawl all over her, give her kisses and petting them.

Our little family *might* be growing by one after today!!

A very Holey Christmas
