have you seen the northwest lately?

hood (from the bedroom window this morning!) , helens, & rainier in the distance...LOVE! (we took a little drive towards brian's work to get these other shots!)

Hmm..It seems I've figured it out! We're in trouble now!

seems like prayer lists get longer by the week. just pray for everyone okay?

happy new year!

morning glory muffins for izzy's birthday, chinese new year dinner, Z in the sink after the syrup incident! (read emergency bathing! i picked him up to help me in the kitchen since he had been quite quiet for too long & he stuck to me!! he had found the gallon syrup & was pouring it into cups!)

the snowmen were built in the rain! our freak snow of the year! i should have put an umbrella in the pic

doh

i am not sure if the blog fairy fixed this, but it seems to be working. i told charlie "i need to make my friend vanessa laugh, do you know any good jokes?" he responds with "doh"(in attempt to say no). he sounds awful this morning. preschool was covered in snot last week i do believe it finally caught up with him!!  gross. ooh, that reminds me of one of my fave jokes. i saw years ago on a valentines card "you may think it is funny to kiss your honey when she has a cold....but it isSNOT!"...

charlie caught isaiah's knee in the mouth last night. & it was quite bloody. charlie says "well. how am i going to grow if the blood keeps going out?" he was very sad!
