Yeah, yeah...

I know, I know, where have I been? Well, raising 2 girls is a lot of work! At the end of the day I usually just pass out ;)

 

Here are a few pics from the snow the other day. I wanted to get better pics of Malia playing, but I couldn't juggle the camera and Ella without Ella freezing to death! So these pics are taken from the kitchen door. Barkley was having just as much fun as his sister!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Malia got out there before I got to zip her jacket and put mittens on her! She knows how to push open the back door now. So after a few handfuls of snow she came running in with freezing hands. But, nothing a warm cup of cocoa didn't fix!

Now, spring can arrive at anytime! We are ready for you!

Christmas with the Anderson's

It's hard for me to believe its that time of year again. Already. This whole time thing is still hard for me to wrap my head around. So here we have malia warming the butter for me so we could make delicious cookies to snack on while we had what malia called our Christmas party! Ella was already in bed for this event. Growing babies need their rest!

 

 

So cookies were made and christmas music was played

Here daddy is explaining the nativity scene to a very curious Malia. She was excited to see sheep there

 

 

Here is the aftermath of it all! Along with a very sleepy daddy!

 

Merry christmas!!

What's in a year?

Time flies when your having fun! 2 kids and practically working somewhere around 4 jobs! (Teeter, kids, houses, lawns etc...)

 

Here is just a glimpse of what a year holds

The photo on the left is malia last year at the pumpkin patch. And on the right is this year! Its really neat to watch your kids grow and develop. Seeing features that resemble David or me, personality traits...it's a lot of fun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is what just 3 months holds! Time is a precious thing.

Note to self...

She says she wants to draw on her eisle, which is located in her room.

Sure, ok. But, mom and dad will keep an eye on you, you can only draw on the paper!

Ok!

 

.........nap time............

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ah, crap! I forgot to take the markers out of her room!

Note to self: don't forget the MARKER bucket in your 2 year olds room at nap time.

 

She claims she knew nothing of it. I have my doubts.

She's a builder

She might become an architect one day! This is a daily activity for Malia. She loves to stack and build with just about anything.

The artist at work

It's a dreary drizzly day here in concord...but that didn't stop our artist from her work. But, instead of markers, crayons and pens, she took to the wet sidewalk chalk that was forgotten about until the rain. So now, the chalk is more like a solid form of paint.

As you can see here, she starts at the back porch with lovely reds and blues, then moves on to the dog with beautiful blues, greens and a creamy white ( which actually was drywall putty from her daddy's pan that was left out! Momma had to stop her or we would be sanding down poor Barkley!). Then she's off to the flower pots and then the garage!

But here, her masterpiece! The trunk of this tree has never looked so spectacular! From top to bottom it's just beautiful.

 

Here is the artist, showing her work.
