Boys' Rooms

Last week I finally had a couple hours to myself to work on the boys' rooms decor. I bought items, paints, canvas, etc. quite some time ago and it has just been waiting for me to work at it.
I painted 3 animal paintings for Josiah's room, which match the "Africa" type decor I planned for his room. I love how they turned out! I am so excited about the bright happy room he has now!
I ordered photos of cars, trucks, planes, trains, boats, etc. for Nathaniel's room. Many of the photos have family members in them. There are also a couple pictures Nat painted and I framed. His room is transportation themed and he loves it!

Snowy Day

This winter has been much snowier than last winter here. We've tried to get out and enjoy it a few times. I bought old-fashioned wood sleds for Tom's birthday, and we went sledding a couple weeks ago. There are really no hills in our area, but it was fun to pull Nathaniel around and we did find a little "lump" near the autobahn ramp! So here's a few photos of our fun sled rides.

Mmmm...Cereal

At the end of January, Josiah started eating a little cereal. It is always funny to watch a little person try to figure out how to eat baby food! Nathaniel was entertained by the whole messy meal, too. Josiah made some great expressions to let us know it was not to his liking. But, we persisted. The next day went a little better, less grimace more eating. And now he can't get enough! He LOVES to eat...rice cereal, carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, apples, pears, bananas. The pictures show a humorous progression of facial expressions from disgust to curiosity to contentment.
