Red Envelope Day!

I'm sure most of you have heard about red evelope day (if you haven't you can read about it here: redenvelopeday.com) We had planned on participating and I was going to pick up some red envelopes over the weekend, but our whole family has been sick and I was never able to get to the store. Then it dawned on me that we could just color regular envelopes red! They might not be beautiful, but they get the job done!! The kids had a lot of fun helping me. We haven't finished yet, but so far we have about 15 ready to send.

If you are interested in doing it, it's not too late! Just send them here:

and write this on the back:

Happy St. Patty's Day!!

Hudson's 2 month check-up

Hudson had his check-up this afternoon. He weighs 12lbs 12 oz

and is 25 inches!! He went from being in the 60th percentile for height to the 90th! He definitely takes after Billy!

Haven's funny

Hudson was crying a lot the other day and Haven came over and said the funniest thing to me:

Haven (very seriously): "Mom, can you handle this? Do you think you can handle this?
*pause*
Haven (somewhat frantically): "I don't think you can handle this mom, I'm going for help!"

She also told me another day when he was crying that she thought we were in over our heads!

i am just posting to say that i've now officially posted more times this month than I did all last year!! who-hoo!!

more fun with hudson!

snowy days

things cold snowy days are good for:

fires

lying in bed...

and watching the snow fall

building marble runs...

for hours!!

Playing in the snow...

and working a bit too

and...

making hot chocolate mustaches!!

Yes... more pictures! I can't help myself, Hudson makes me camera happy!! One of these days I'll actually post something substantial...

more updating...

Some of you may have already seen these on facebook, but I'd thought I'd post them here as well for all of my non-facebook viewers! I took these in my backyard last September. My kids are difficult to photograph so I'm pretty happy with what I was able to get! These are a few of my favorites...

Hudson Pictures

So I love baby body parts... especially feet!

It’s been a busy few months around here! Thanks to everyone who has faithfully continued to check our blog! For those of you who don’t have facebook, you need to get it! I’m on there a lot more often than I am on here!

Here is a quick re-cap on what’s happened the past few months:

Haven turned 3
Harrison played t-ball
We had several fun weekends away
Both kids started preschool
We finished our bathroom remodel (almost)
We redecorated our bedroom
We finished most of the trim on the first floor
Hudson was born!!
Harrison turned 5

Hopefully I’ll be posting pics of all these things soon. But for now here are some random pics from the month of December.




















These last few are from St. Nicholas Day. Since Harrison's b-day is the day before we usually have a cake for him too. (it's not the best pic, but it's the only one I got before my camera died!)








(sorry, can't figure out why these 2 pictures are so big!)
