I’m still here! The temperature has been really cold (for Austin) and that means I just want cuddle up under 3,000 blankets and sleep. I just need to figure out how to talk my kids into hibernating. We have been bundling up and playing outside when it isn’t raining. I’m weak – I just can’t do cold and rainy. I know some moms are still taking their kids out to play, but I’m just not THAT awesome.

I don’t want to clean up mud.

^^My dog is a toy hoarder. He was determined to keep that ring and stuffed deer from E.

Nothing like a perfect day – blue skies, light breeze, mostly sunny, partly cloudy, happy children, and long naps.

Offspring #1 wasn’t to excited about the whole flying thing.

However, offspring #2 is fearless. Seriously.  He is 12 months old and capable of climbing out of his crib.

I love my backyard… minus the scorpions.  The birds like that dead tree – so for now it stays.
