Some pretty and not so pretty faces from January


January sailed by, but at least we got a few pictures this time along the way.  We celebrated Elliott's birthday, complete with an Elmo cake, balloons, and a trip to the McDonald's Play Place.  I think he had a great time!  He loves being one of the big kids, and has started talking a lot more, repeating a lot of words he hears older siblings say.  We love having him in our family, and I love that at least he doesn't think he is too big to snuggle with us.

Ethan performed in a winter play with his class--you can see him peaking out in the far right in the second row, and did an excellent job memorizing his lines and the choreography.  It was really fun to watch his class; they did a great job!

Agnes is growing and has started making lots of sounds, smiles, and fun faces.  She is adorable and she brightens our family.

Our not-so-pretty face is Joshua after a slip on the ice.  We had a lot of melting and refreezing, and the roads were terrible for a few weeks.  He actually hit the side of his head and got a minor concussion (we think), but somehow it turned into a black eye and lasted three weeks.  We heard about a lot of other people around here with similar experiences.
