Winter Pictures

It hasn't been lack of time that has prevented me from posting more regularly but lack of motivation. If anything makes someone want to do nothing with their time, a Michigan winter can do it. Blah. But we have been doing things and I should share more often with friends and family so here are some newer pictures.
Note: We will have high-speed available this spring (yeah! modern conveniences!) and that should help with my posting abilities.

Another Trip to Marquette (I believe that makes 7 trips for Bennett - 14 across the Mackinac Bridge)

All the cousins...soon to be one more -- congrats to Jeff, Margaret, Claire and Connor on the news of their expected addition (Oct. '09).


I made a solo trip in mid-January to the UP with Bennett -- the tree and train were still up for the holidays


Every morning B went straight to the tree to watch the train...


and watched the trains in the basement with Papa


Claire and I with high-pony tails


Claire is so adorable...I should have all boys 'cause I don't think we could do better than this little girl!




Connor is getting so big! I'm told he is now mobile -- he does a modified military crawl, pulling himself with his forearms across the room!





It's never to early to start! He stays on for all of 2 seconds...


Lovin' the spaghetti - I love to sneak in all the veggies - zucchini, yellow squash, diced tomato, onion, garlic, green beans, corn - and usually ground turkey...it's so hearty we sometimes eat it without pasta!






Just a day of playing!




Addilyn is 3 years old!!!




Doing Home Projects with Dad and Baking with Mom



Watching the drill spin -- like a record baby 'round and round!




Eating sugar and flour






Sledding in the Front Yard



The Radio Flyer is faaaaassst!


Snowboarding at Cabrefae Peaks
Ladies Day for $17 we got equipment rentals, lift ticket and a lesson...it was awesome (until I fell on the last run...still sore 2 weeks later)


Jen, me, Kristy and Morgan
