Happy New Year!

We've had a great time with Ryan's family and are grateful to ring in the new year surrounded by so many loved ones.  The kids are soaking up all the extra attention.  It's been cold, but nothing a few layers can't take care of.  It's great having a yard to play in!  Rooke keeps calling the backyard the "garden".






Grammy Deb planted an egg in an abandoned nest they found in the backyard tree.  Rooke was so interested in the entire thing and kept wanting to hold the egg.


We did a quick day trip to see our aunts and Gramma.  Rooke loves road trips because he gets to watch Bob the Builder!

Aunt Sara and her husband were great hosts for us to catch naps and recharge.

Konnor met up with us to visit our sweet Gramma.  



Rooke was treated to a special outing at Aunt Jessica's library!  She's an elementary school librarian and let Rooke have his pick of books.  He brought home a few books about cars and almost all of the Berenstein Bears books he could find!



I'm trying to get Rooke to like puzzles as much as I do!

G-Daddy worked some Lincoln Log magic.


Grammy Deb made green eggs and ham for lunch!

I love Gretchen's little boots! And now we know what to do for Hannah for long car rides :) That's a great idea! We often go to the capital and back in a day which is 4 hours total in the car - it gets tiring for her but that's where the good doctors are so what can we do ;)Glad you're having such sweet time with family.
