Seriously though, where does it all come from?

How bout that snow. This was our view out the kitchen window the other day. That's about a foot of snow sitting on the wall. Pretty pretty winter wonderland.
Some sleepy winter pictures.


Supplemented with Elijah shenanigan pictures

Remember the dog licking elijah like he was a delicious ice cream cone?
He really thought elijah was yummy, ok and maybe the lollipop.



On a more solemn note, Tony's grandma Koens passed away yesterday. She was the very sweetest Grammy and we are so glad we got to go out to visit just a few weeks ago, before we knew about her leukemia. I am glad I have had the chance know her and her wonderful spirit and I know we will see her again someday.
I wish we had some pictures to share but I never thought about grabbing the camera when whenever we visited. darn darn. We have some nice memories to look back on and I am sure Tony has many stories to tell to the kiddos when they get older. Send some prayers to Grandpa Koens and the rest of the family. Tony flew out today to be there for the rest of the week. Hopefully he can help bring some comfort.
Love you (Great) Grandma Koens!

Sleepy sledding

We wanted to go sledding because it has been snowing ALL. DAY. i mean, we woke up and it was snowing and it is still snowing as i write this at ten at night.
On our way to sledding, elijah fell asleep in the car and as some may know, this kid is hard to wake up from a nap.


But that didnt stop us.He did wake up after tony sprinkled a little fairy snow on his face.


Here is elijah being attacked by a random dog. More on this later.
On a side note, tonight has been so kid-stressful and it doesnt help that Tony's flarties could clear out a stink factory. I mean, COME ON.

Schooooool

I have so much school work to do, i hardly have time to do anything except change diapers, make breakfast, take shower, get children ready, get myself ready, get groceries, change diapers, make lunchies, do five homework assignments, dishes, laundry, change diapers, dinner, look over more school stuff, switch laundry, eat dinner, get kids ready for bed, get myself ready for bed, and finally watch Conan. Conan is what i look forward to most. the end of the day, ahhhhhh.
Despite the full schedule, we were able to catch a few funny moments over the week.

Elijah thought he'd take over feeding the baby while i cleaned up a bit
Even for lunch time, elijah volunteered



And once again, i present Elijahs love for cheese.

In the leaves.

Last year, elijah loved playing in the leaves, but could only crawl through them. This year, it is a different story.


Tony made a big pile of leaves, only to barely survive the onslaught of little boys that came running from all corners of the park. The pile didnt last very long and soon they were just running around on top of the leaves.



Love this cool weather. Cant wait for Grandma Debbie to come visit tomorrow!

For Maymay

Here's a pick-me-up. Baby style.

Elijah gives high fives, then does a fist and says 'Pound it.'


This is what we do in the mornings.. towards the end, elijah is climbing on me behind the camera, trying to kiss me.
