Skating!

My mom and I got to take Nathaniel skating for the first time - ever! I had forgotten how hard it was to learn. But to Nathaniel's credit - he is tough and doesn't give up. He kept trying on the carpet and then we'd hit the wood floor again. I had to tell him I was tired in order for us to leave. I love his tenacity and stubbornness!

Reading

Lately (since Christmas) the little boys have really shown an interest in reading. They can sit still long enough for me to finish a book or two. The only thing that is better than holding one child in your lap to read is holding two children!

Ice Cream

Nathaniel worked hard to get good behavior at school, so we got some ice cream to celebrate. Joel starting pointing and grunting as soon as he saw Nathaniel's cone, so he and Seth had some ice cream also.

January Fun

January has brought some cooler weather and good times. These first few shots are Seth and Nathaniel.

Joel busted his lip, but still in good spirits.
