I love my cuddle time with my little man.

Mavric loves to sleep in Gabriel's bed

When I looked down, Gabriel was standing. Apparently he was done going potty!

Oh boy, I did it this time. The crown is now in a self-serve bay with a broken gear linkage.  I sure do keep my husband busy! He is working on fixing the car today after he finishes plowing.

Caleb has found the dry/erase board on the fridge with magnets! He is so fun--it reminds us of when we had Chase around! It won't be long now and Caleb and Gabriel will be chasing each other!!

O. My. Goodness. Mollie the protector-- I came into the office from drying a car and she was sitting right behind him. When I went to take a picture, Gabriel grabbed her nose and brought it to his face!!

Mollie doing her job: pointing. She is wondering if I realize there is a treat from the bank in that little compartment that Mavric didn't want. She would be happy to help out with that!! But just so I know- she will point it until I realize.

Gabriel's crawling forward attempts! 

Nap time at the Ault's :-)

Mollie and Gabriel playing :-)

Crazy hair! (and yes, he stands up using the faucet!!!)

Mollie all tucked in to bed

Best buds!!

Gabriel has mastered crawling backwards... that is one thing we can say he has mastered... After Bible study he got himself back to the wall and stuck under a chair. 'Mom-help!!!'

Mavric WILL find a warm spot!

Having fun....

Not anymore Mommy!

Since it was frigid temperatures, we made the most of not even being able to open the wash, packed up and went to Wilson, WI. It worked great- if we would have tried to plan this weekend a month in advance it never would have worked. But, it just so happened- we got quite a bit of time with everyone! It was pretty sweet. Hop over to Darla's blog for the cousin pictures... they are great!!!!

A happy moment in the car seat. Quite rare :-/

Kennan loved Mollie and Mavric's pillow... he was just fine banishing himself to the laundry room if it meant the comfort of a doggie pillow :)

Mommy's attempt to keep Mollie's feet warm and dry outside since she would whimper in pain with all the snow stuck in her paws. One was off before she got outside. And two more as soon as she hit outside. I'm going to go with this was a complete failure. 

Love bird's

AWW :)

We were so glad Mike, Kristina, Grady, and Kasha could come over Saturday night for supper. Gabriel and Grady were great pals.

Chew party!

Auntie Christina Topinka in Guadeloupe got Gabriel a shirt... Thank you!!!

It's official: it is TIME for tires for the good ole police cruiser.  I am a pro at getting myself into predicaments. I tried backing out of the driveway- got stuck. Tried again- got stuck. So in my brilliant mind, I said I would just turn around and drive out!!! Well- this is where I left it- sideways in the driveway- for Terry to fix yet another mess I made :)
