I started this entry with a few recent pictures (taken in the last week)  . . . but then I started noticing so many good ones from when I was slacking on the blogging . . . so I am including some old (from December) ones as well.  I will have to follow this post up with another post with only older photos as there are some really cute ones you all might like to see!

I will start of with some of Piccolo.  We just think he is adorable.  We have had some days of sunshine (although today it is pouring rain).  Piccolo loves to sleep in the sunshine.


Here is a series of Maisie hold Piccolo in her sweatshirt.  Maisie is busily playing a card game and Piccolo fell asleep.  By the last shot you can only see his ears as his it curled up in cozy slumber.


Cole has a little friend across the street, Jackson, who comes over almost every day.  The boys jump on the trampoline rain or shine or freezing temperatures (whenever we force them to stop playing video games).
 

Here are some December shots . . . proof of the use of the Trampoline in freezing temperatures.

Here is Henry on the skateboard.  He loves it.  Pretty cute.  Cole got a new skateboard for Christmas (meaning Henry gets the old one), so now Henry and Cole can both skate to their heart's content (whenever Josh or I is willing to supervise!).


Here is a fun "old" shot of Cole and Henry.  Josh must have taken this one as I didn't know it was on my camera.  I just think it is so cute . . . you are looking through our living room window out at the boys enjoying a snack at their little picnic table.  You can see the Christmas decorations hanging across the window and the boys just look so happy.  It has to be cold out, but Henry is in just a diaper.  I think we are going to have another Captain Underpants (once Henry is totally potty trained!).


This weekend I finished letters for Liz's Nathan.  I took some photos of them to send to her before I shipped.  Here is a photo of those paintings and a few others I have done in the last month or so . . .



Josh has been baking a lot of fabulous bread and pizza lately.  Try not to drool on your keyboard.



My Mom gave Henry a set of Spiderman PJs for Christmas.  Henry loves them, which is great, but he loves them so much that he wants to wear the top as a shirt EVERYDAY.  For his birthday I picked him out several spiderman and super hero shirts (not PJs) so that he would wear real clothes . . . but he refuses to wear them.  Oh well.  Here is a shot of Henry in the Spiderman PJ top.


Here is a photo out of the archives from Christmas morning.  Each child got a new tent with their set of gifts inside.  I love these frog tents from Target.  They are such a cool design (I think).  I have to say our house felt a lot bigger after the tents and Christmas decorations were all put away!


Let's end with Cole the Christmas elf.  He wore this outfit several times over the holidays starting with the day after Thanksgiving when we put up Christmas decorations.
