update

well, it's been a while since i posted so i thought i'd share a few pictures of the kids. we are ready for spring. the kids and i have been bound up in the house since christmas. we are looking forward to next week when we'll be at the dells spending a couple of days with the Clairs at a waterpark. jacob is excited to spend some time with his friend lauren and i can't wait to see their cute little levi again. our family is doing well. levi turned 2 after christmas and hannah will turn 1 at the end of march. this last year seems to have gone by fast. my sister-in-law and their family were on vacation the last week and a half so we got to dog sit. the boys were kinda sad to see him leave. levi especially as the dog treats that he came to enjoy himself are now gone with the dog. aaron came downstairs to find levi sitting in front of the t.v. with a box of dog treats just munching away on them. he said he was caught between running to get the camera to take a quick picture or taking the treats away. i found him "snacking" a few times myself. the difference between aaron and i is that aaron lets him finish eating whatever he already has in his mouth...i make him spit them all out in the sink and then take my fingers and rake through his mouth for every last morsel. life is definitely not dull around here.
