Kemiry -water color-2 Years old.

sick house

I am sad to report that the flu in all its beautiful forms has graced our house this year. We have been so lucky to avoid it most years, but we were not lucky this year. All of us has had it in one form or the other. I had the cold/sinus crud and Jared had the stomach bug, and the kiddos have had both. YUCK!!!! This is what the doc told us to do for the sinus bug. Steam up the bathroom and hang out in there and breath. We got a little artsy while we did our steam therapy. It was a nice positive break from being sick. 

Kroten - coloring. Dec 2012 - 4 yrs old.

K man vs. the piano

Kroten started piano lessons today. He was easily distracted and it was funny to watch, but I think he will do ok. I think we are just going to have to take it really slow. He is super smart, but I can tell this is going to be a lot of work. I think work is good for you though. :) Hopefully he can keep it up and become a concert pianist. ;) Gotta give em the opportunities right?!?

No shave november... and December.

How come no one told my husband that no shave November ended on December 1st? How did he miss that memo?

Call me a meanie head or a horrible unsupportive wife, but I begged him to shave it! So he did.

After two months of not shaving, this is what my mountain man looked like...

And afterwards, I could not stop looking at him. I thought I would feel bad for making him get rid of two months of hard work, but nope, I had my handsome man back...

2013 snuck up on me!
