The children received a package from grandma Kelly and grandpa Victor this past week. (thank you again guys!)

Yesterday, I thought the kids were napping peacefully in their rooms when I suddenly heard a loud eruption of laughter coming from Josie's bedroom. As soon as I opened Josie's door; Ashton ran for it. Leaving this little one all alone with the evidence.

We love our Valentines Day goodies. :)

We met and held our brand new nephew Matthew James this past Thursday.

I am so in love. He slept so sweetly.


Oh, how I can't wait to see all of the wonderful things you do with your life little one.


After breakfast this morning; we decided to go to the park. We zipped and mittened and booted up until we were all bundled.

The sky was so lovely today and the air kissed our cheeks with cold lips. We were the first ones to arrive and we watched as the new morning sun peeked in from the east to say hello.

Josh insisted on bringing the kids up the hill himself. ...that didn't last very long. ;)



It was the best cardio workout we've gotten in quite a while. :)






After sledding, we headed to the playground for some more fun.


Everything is so quiet in the winter time. Resting and waiting for the cold to be melted into warm puddles. The swings sat silent and chilled. Waiting ever so patiently for little hands to grasp their chain linked handles. ...They felt like ice today. Much differently then they did when we left them in the fall.

...But we held on any way with soft knit mittens while the swings brought a sweet, summery sound that echoed through the winter air around us.



I think we'll visit the playground more often in the wintertime.





When we arrived back home, we sat around the kitchen table as we listened to an old Doors record and drank hot chocolate from our favorite mugs.




Busy living the snowy winter wonderland life, Jess
