This is Zoe's "I'm sick of posing for pictures" smile

Zoe is a big help in the kitchen. This chicken pot pie was a scrumptious treat with all the cold weather we've been having.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!

We all had a fantastic time sledding down the street after the record 18 inches of snow.

The snow was just gorgeous, and not too cold the following day.

Getting ready for another run.

Snow princess, getting ready to head to church. Zoe likes to look up with her head cocked to one side, smile a little smile, and say "I love you, mama." I will never get sick of hearing that.

Zoe's hair is getting long and curly, and I just can't bring myself to cut it! The baby blues on this one are going to break a lot of hearts one day in, oh, 30 years when she's allowed to date.

Play-doh, the ultimate indoor winter craft.
But they need to find a product (or a rent-a-robot) that makes it easier to get it off the carpet, the bottoms of little shoes, and out of radiators.

Zoe always starts with neat little piles and then mashes them all into a technicolor concoction.

Caleb is reticent to having his picture taken. This is one of the few that I've been able to get of his usual, happy-go-lucky smile. He likes to put his head down like a battering ram and run into your legs, entwine his arms around you and snuggle.
