Sledding!

We had a freak snowstorm that dumped about 9 inches of very wet snow.  We went early the next day (Saturday) to sled down our favorite hill.  Mitchell was kept VERY warm, especially when the rest of us got hot and starting piling our coats and hats on top of him!

 The group run...

 Emily found that her sled wouldn't stay with the other two, so she just jumped on Ben's back instead!

 It was getting warm and the snow at the bottom of the sledding path was quickly melting and turning into slush, so we spent a good 30 minutes making a HUGE snowman!  For our second ball, 5 guys from the neighboring Ultimate Frisbee game had to help Andy lift it!  The finished product was a good 8 feet tall!

 Mitchell woke up just in time to watch a last run or two before we headed to our new favorite ice cream place, Taggart's, where we ate The Kitchen Sink!



The Boob Tube

We have a special chair to watch shows in.  One day the girls were taking care of Mitchell while I was doing a craft.  I looked over to see both Annie and Emily playing absent-mindedly with Mitchell's hand.  Seeing the 3 hands together was just more than I could take, so I put down my stuff and ran upstairs to get the camera.  By the time I came back down, they weren't doing it anymore, but I still got some cute ones!

 He just loves the camera...see the drool!  ;)

 Love these two cuties!!!  They can be the best of friends or the whinest, teasingest sisters!



Baby Mitchell - 3 Weeks

I was just looking back through and realized I never posted the promised pictures of my little guy.  A friend came to take these one afternoon, and she really didn't know what to make of Mitchell.  He just kept following her camera with his eyes and was so incredibly behaved.  He stayed where she put him and would turn his head to the camera.  He wouldn't fuss, he wouldn't look happy, just a basic expression on his wee little face.

 Love the newborn reflexes!  Helps you to realize how little they really are.  Maybe, he was just kind of ticked at me because I had him undressed in December in our very drafty house...

 His two basic hairstyles...after his first haircut!
