Brrrrrr --- cold!

Still January.  Alright to be cold.

Another weekend.  The family got together to celebrate two birthdays:  Jim's is on Wednesday, Greg's was the other day.
Boy, it was noisy!  5 kids under 8 under one roof:

Both Noah and Jackson on Uncle Jim's lap,

playing with dinosaurs making noise

Noah opening belated Christmas gifts

Monster trucks and dinosaurs

 one happy 6-months old

Greg, Nicole, Sue and Evan

Matthew with his aunt, uncle, and cousin

Don't ask.  No one screamed in pain, just with laughter

And that's what it looks like when there are lots of kids

ohh, how cute!  six months old.

 Next morning: Noah snuggling with mom

 and coloring with dad

I really did get rid of those sweaters.  With a heavy heart,

but I did it.  That gives me confidence to go into my 

cupboards and pull out the insulated tea and coffee pots my parents

gave me almost 40 years ago, never used!

And so it goes.

I hope you are enjoying your Sunday!
