He squealed with delight the first time... and the hundredth time.

"I'm ready to go sledding now! Mom, can we man AND a snow penguin?"




Carter and one of his best friends, B.


This picture makes me happier than words can express. I was so proud of my boy today. Generally he's so very careful about new adventures. Yesterday I stood him in the snow and he screamed like a naked baby. Wouldn't walk because he was sure he would fall. It took a few minutes of coaxing just to help him feel confident he could take 2 steps in the snow, so for him to channel his adventuring side and have this much fun in the snow made me beam!




Our side yard thing has steep hills and shallow hills, so it's fun for all. But these boys were all about going faster! This is pretty steep for a 2.5 year old, especially after two hours of matting it down and polishing it up with all that sledding. Carter kept screaming, "I wanna go down da big one again!"

Wowee our ceilings are tall.


Whoa, buddy. You're scaring me. Focus on walking down the stairs. Do nothing else but walk down the stairs one foot at a time.

Very picture worthy, indeed! Aww.


I think this is Ray's crotch? Or maybe aunt Meg's? Kris? Wait, why am I even pretending like I would be able to tell who's it is??


Hi, Uncle Kris!
