Brielle's latest talent

this little girl...

will be 2 years old in one month!

Up on all fours!

my computer desktop background looks like this...

oh, I just love this photo of John!  Those cheeks, those eyes, that cute little mouth...makes me want to give him a big hug!  Since he's not coming to work with me anymore (he's at aunt Becky's for daycare)... his photo keeps me company:)

pocket

Brielle likes to show us how she can put her hands in the pocket on her cute new outfit:)

he's ready for his peas :)

mmm....

John has been enjoying his veggies lately:  peas, sweet potatoes, squash, and carrots; and he almost never makes a "yuck" face.   Moving on to fruits sometime soon:).

dad's shoes

baby it's cold outside...

School was cancelled 3 days in a row last week since the temperature didn't make it above zero.  So John and Brielle got to stay home with Dad.  Here's something she learned:).  And here's what John was up to...

Sledding

Tim & Brielle took advantage of the tracks made by Grandpa Ted's ATV for a little sledding this weekend.  

Feeding her baby... Cherry pie

Time to start eating off a spoon!

these things happen when you have a big sister :)

This is what mornings at our house look like...

Tim, Brielle, and John rock together in this chair in the morning... and usually the only light they have, is that which is coming from the multicolored lights on our Christmas tree.  When Brielle wakes up in the morning she says "Hold you?" because she loves a morning cuddle when she's still sleepy.  I know Tim enjoys this time with her just as much as she does.  

swinging in the winter

We put this swing up in our laundry room, for a little indoor fun.  As a bonus, it keeps John entertained while we're doing the laundry.  As you can tell by his giggles, John enjoys it.  He laughs the most when Brielle is pushing him-- look at how his eyes follow her wherever she goes... he loves his sister:).  And I think Brielle enjoys it just as much as he does because she always wants to be the one who pushes John.  

Hugs and Kisses :)
