Grandparents: Oma & Opa

Cole,
You are lucky to have lots of grandparents. They all think the sun shines out of your behind.
Oma and Opa love to come spend time with you, babysitting every chance they get. You always get treats and surprises from them. You talk to them on the phone in real life and pretend often. You LOVE when Opa does funny tricks with his teeth. When Opa asks "Where's Opa's boy?" You always point to yourself. Oma loves to hold you while you sleep and tell the world how much she loves you with photos and stories.

You are a lucky little boy to be so loved. Grandparents have super strong love. Soak it up, buddy!

Me Happy!

Cole, there are lots of moments in our life.  There are those wonderful moments featured here where you are being exceptionally cute and I have the camera in hand.  There are stressful moments.  There are moments when we laugh.  There are moments when we get frustrated, tired, hungry, crabby, bossy, etc.  There are moments I judge myself because we don't eat well and we watch too much television.  And there are moments when you make me melt.  Lately those moments come often.  You give unprompted kisses on the lips, cheeks, legs, etc.  You are discovering language...and you are so sensitive and loving.  You always almost always say please, thank you, and you're welcome when it's kind to do so. One of my favorite things is that you say "Me Happy!"  I tell you that you make me happy...such an understatement.  I can't put into words how much happiness you bring.  I get tearful sometimes when you tell me that you love me.  You may never know how much I love you back....Me happy too, buddy.

I love you lots,

Mommy

Slumber party with JayJay and 3 Minutes in the Snow

watching the pretty snowfall 

 

there's nothing better than an air mattress in the living room!

 while Cole slept... JayJay, Dada, and Mama hoped for a snow day to sleep in :)

We had a few, pretty inches of light, fluffy snow fall overnight while Jamie spent the night.  I attempted to go to work but roads were dangerous and appointments were canceled.  I came home and we bundled up to go play in the snow.  It was short lived, maybe 3 minutes.  The wind sent us back inside!

Lita LOVES the snow!

 

Phoebe does not love the snow

Cole loved the snow...but not the wind.

New Kicks

Cole broke out his new shoes today....and danced around the house all night telling me to take "picta my new soes!"
