Sam's buddy Johan was over the other day. They had a blast making up songs to sing on the piano. Johan even added some dance grooves from time to time. It was really cute!

Legos
Charlie has his birthday and Christmas lists finished...only 4 and 11 months to go...Legos. He loves building with legos. When he gets a new set he can spend hours putting it together. He is very driven to finish and is very careful when putting things together. I love it that he LOVES legos. It's been a life saver this winter!
Outdoor Fun in January
We've almost made it through January. We were lucky enough to spend quite a few days outside. Moving snow from one place to another never gets old....
...and sledding is always fun!
Where's Sam?

Natural Texture
This weeks challenge at I Heart Faces is texture. I've always loved the texture that old trees give to photos. I just took this photo of my little guy hiding behind a tree a couple of weeks ago. It will be fun to see all of the natural and "photoshop" made textures this week at I heart faces! (I need to practice more at the photoshop textures. They look really fun.)

This kid is amazing!
Bye-bye crawling...
Ben started walking full time last week.
Once he started there was no looking back. He spends most days practicing his pivots, turns, laps, and falls.
He also vacuums, feeds himself, and communicates all needs through a point and "zis".
He's even squeezed in time to imitate modern art.
This kid is amazing!

Old School Serious
It's I heart Faces birthday this week. The contest is to enter your favorite face photo from Dec or Jan of this year. This photo was taken on Dec. 18. Can't wait to see the other face entries and fun give aways this week at I Heart Faces.
I did it at last...I placed at I heart Faces. 2 photographer/judges chose this photo as a top 5 favorite our of 1,000 photos. I guess it was a good thing Sam wasn't in the mood to take photos and gave me his grumpy look.
Omaha, Here we come at last!
We had a wonderful trip to Omaha just before the end of the year. After a couple day weather delay we loaded up the car and were off. The boys were very excited to see their cousins. "Can we just unload and then go to their house?" Charlie wondered on the way down. The closer we got to Omaha, the deeper the snow in the ditch. The trees along the sides of the road were covered in a thick layer of ice that sparkled in the sun. It was a beautiful drive.
When we arrived Charlie was overjoyed to see all of the snow and shoveling that needed to be done. He loved Grandpa D's plow shovel and spent the time each day outside shoveling the driveway, sidewalks, and back patio.
The boys were able to play with all of their cousins over our 4 day stay. There was time for Crazy 8 and other games. Some Lego building, lots of hide and seek, and lots of fun. Ben had fun showing off his new attempts at walking - hands high.
Each night the boys were exhausted and dreaming of more shoveling, snow, and fun.
Ben was spoiled by all. Sucker from grandpa and cuddles from everyone. Being the youngest brings some nice perks.
Time for one last game. On the way home both boys wanted to know when we could see their cousins again. I love it that they are at the age that they don't mind the long road trip since it means fun with Ermie, Grandpa D, and lots of cousins.
Thanks for a great time everyone!
