Snow Day with Daddy

A special gift

Great Grandma Rose made the boys a very special gift for Christmas this year.   She made them each a teddy bear out of some very special materials.  The boys love their new bears!

James' bear is made out of Great Grandpa Warren's overalls.

 Blake's bear is made out of Great Grandma Rose's jeans.

Henry's bear is made out of Great Uncle Tom's trousers and Great Grandpa Warren's necktie.

We plan on giving them lots of big hugs!

Valentine Pictures

The end of January we had our annual Valentine pictures with the Hilbrich girls.  It is always an adventure getting pictures done with 5 kids.  Henry was definitely our most challenging.  He was constantly trying to run away from the camera, but thankfully we ended up with several good shots.

Weekend with Grandma Robin and Tatiana

Thanks to Grandma Robin and Tatiana we were able to get away for a 24 hour overnight date.  It was so much fun, but I think the boys had just as much fun as we did!  Grandma took them shopping to Kohls for a new pirate ship.  It is James' prized possession and he even sleeps with it at night.
