Stefan Reading

The slide!

This is the first slide that Stefan has really enjoyed going down. It must have been the perfect angle. He did over and over again. He'd slide down and then walk over to the steps climb up and slide again! Our little boy is growing up.

Fun, fun day!

Miriam's birthday started off with some donuts for breakfast. We then had a little birthday party at lunch. Can you believe the only thing she asked for was green beans? We added the chicken and rice to complement the green beans! She then opened her gifts and then we had an ice cream cake for dessert.

We finished off the day by heading into the Boston Children's Museum. It was so much fun. What would have normally been about a $75 dollar outing was only $7 thanks to the Target Friday night deal ($1 per person!) We definitely got our money's worth! There was lots to do. Micaiah and Miriam had a blast and we were pleasantly surprised that they had things even for Stefan's age group. We had a fun day. Here is a link to more pictures.

Valentine's Day

This was taken last night while we watched Micaiah and Miriam during their Mom and Dad's date. We had a fun story time as well as making cards for Mommy and Daddy.

Morning date! Today was our turn to go out. We had coffee and a donut and did some shopping while Tim and Ruth watched Stefan. It was so nice to go out together.

Pizza party for dinner tonight! Micaiah and Miriam did a great job helping decorate the table and the pizza. We even had PINK lemonade as our drink.

Fun times

We are enjoying having Tim and Ruth and the family this week. Today we are babysitting Micaiah and Miriam so that their Mom and Dad can go on a date. Of course, we aren't lacking for things to do and Valentine's treats are a must!

Sledding

It's a balmy 39 degrees outside so we decided to go
outside and do some sledding!

Are you this talkative at 6 AM?

I thought I would let you in on a little of our normal morning sounds. Stefan is very talkative when he wakes up. And it is usually early. This morning he was telling Daddy a nice story so I thought I would share. (And if I'm blogging before 7 am you know he got up early!)

Friends

Here are some pictures of a few friends we got to see while on our trip down South at Christmas. I never posted these. Better late than never, right?
