"Okay, so maybe a little help here!" Emers is finally mobile. Much to Ryker's dismay, no toy is safe. One day Ryker had her all dressed up as a pirate. We heard him growl, "Walk the plank, Matey!" He must have thought it over because the next thing we heard was, "Okay, so crawl the plank, Matey!"

whew!

 
 
 
 
This is all so much work!

Happy Valentine's, Mom!

Ryker asked if Daddies do girl things. "Like what?" I inquired. "Like toilets?" he replied. Hmmmmmmm.

Can't wait for you to come home, Daddy! Emerson's favorite perch while Ryan works on his computer. Ryker drew this picture of Ryan unassisted. No it's not a hat and who says you can't count the hairs on a head anyway? I asked what was on his shirt and was told in no uncertain terms that it was also hair. Oops. :-) Should have seen that one coming. I miss you, husband.

Snow more, please!

 
 
 
 
8 inches of snow, a steep hill in front of the house, good friends with sleds, a daddy with a big truck and big patience...what more could you ask for? Thanks, Beth and Landon, for enduring cold bums and runny noses for a little fun in the snow.

We love that Cousin Rex!
