Now that the boys are a year older; we have had our first winter where both Ali and I have been able to get out of the house. Even if it has been the coldest MN winter in 35 years.
 |
Yes, those are lips.....fresh off of the face of a 3 year old |
Plenty of outside fun!
 |
Frost Beards abounded. |
XC skis were had, and many a weekend afternoon was spent with the Johnsons.
 |
Nothing more pro than taking the holeshot and blowing it in the first corner. |
I refrained from any winter riding once we got into the depths of the winter chill. Sometimes its just fun to yell disparaging things at people.
 |
"Why did you bring me to this forsaken place?" |
One evening we did pictures of each of the family.
 |
"guess whats in my diaper?" |
 |
"You there, yes, you, fetch me that floppy eared dog" |
 |
"the child is biting the dog, but I am going going to smile anyway" |
We drove to TX in Feb to see Mina and Tanner. with the children and the dog. nonstop. 19 hours. No meltdowns. My progeny are road warriors.
 |
Got to ride a whole bunch of the Buffalo Bayou. Refrained from any serious crime. |
Love being able to get produce year round. The Hispanic influence in south Texas means that there are some pretty terrific vittles to be had
 |
I got to defile Mina's granite countertops |
We also took the grommets to the Houston "chillins" museum that had the Dr. Seuss display.
 |
Grinchin' ain't easy |
 |
When Ali's mom was in town we got out on a ski date (it was about -5F) |
But alas, winter is quickly fading, and the snow drifts are receding.
 |
I never know what I will find in snow drifts around here. |
