BIG Hill Sledding

We met the Babbington family the day after the snow for a morning of sledding and then went to Mexican for lunch. We met at a big hill on the golfcourse where Grammy K and Grandpa J are building their house. Kira is now even more excited for them to get their house done so we can go over for hot Coco after sledding. She was very brave and went down the big hill by herself or with Mia and Grace most of the time, but had fun sledding with Dad, too; especially when they had a race with Will and Mia! Elise got really sick later this day, Kira got sick later in the week, and no one has recovered yet, so there are no more pics to share. We'll try to take pics this week.

Big Snow

We got about 15 inches of snow the first Thurs-Fri in Feb and had lots of fun playing outside while it was still coming down. Kira and Elise played while Mom and Dad shoveled, and then we all got to play. Snow is still on the ground and we even have a snow man out back. If the kids ever get over the fevers that have been running our house for more than a week, we'll go back outside and take pictures of the snowman.

Grammy K's Birthday!

Grammy K broke her ankle the week of her birthday, so we brought the celebration to her with cake, balloons, flowers, and singing cards. All three of the Cook girls even wore "Party Dresses" at Kira's insistence (and direction of exactly what to wear). Sorry no pic of the three of us. I'll try harder next time.

Random January Pics

We didn't take many pics in January, but here are some of the cute ones. Yes, Elise started standing without support just after Christmas, and is already taking a few steps on her own before falling. Still can't call her a "walker", but she's getting really close.
