GUH!

The boys and I have had a great time watching old videos lately.  This is one of our favorites.

Enjoy!

It's the Little Things

It's little things that make me so very happy.  These three bring me so much joy.  And pain.  I haven't forgotten the pain.  All I hear right now is screaming and hitting coming from the playroom.  But I'm choosing to focus on the joy.

 The boys got these new egg chairs for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa Huebel.  They love them!

 I have to soak up all of these harmonious moments.

When I saw this picture I said "Hey, Gus has pants on!!"  That is pretty rare.  Gus wearing pants and asking to paint 2 minutes after his grandparents arrived make this one special picture.

My boys tell me they love me constantly.  Their father has taught them well when it comes to giving compliments.  But it is moments like these when they aren't actively trying to be sweet or thoughtful that make my heart super happy.

A New Year's Eve Party

On New Year's Eve we had a house full.  My parents were here.  Debbie and Pam came back from Florida so they were here with Sophie.  And then a neighbor called at the last second asking us to watch their son since the sitter had come down with the flu.  It was a loud, crazy night.  Since Debbie and Pam weren't here for Christmas, the boys had not gotten their presents from them yet.  So, before our extra guest came over, Sophie and the boys sat in the living room and opened present after present.

Sophie decided to wrap one of Hans' presents.  He wanted it to be the worst wrapped present there ever was, and Sophie was up to the challenge.  She even purposely spelled things wrong.  You know it is bad when I notice right away something isn't spelled right.

 After presents and lots of food and lots of boys running around Sophie decided to beat Hans on the Wii.  Hans sure talked a good game, but Sophie had the skills.

 Since we had such a fun night on the 31st we decided to make the 1st another fun night.

 The party animals.

 These horns that Grandma always insists on buying them somehow got lost the next day.

Fritz even decided to live it up.

So even though it is February...Happy New Year!
