Sledding at the Cottage

The day after Brendan and I went skiing, Brendan, Lauren and I went sledding around the cottage and out onto the frozen lake. Here is a video of one of our last runs of the day. Lauren and I are on the sled in the back and Brendan leads the way down the yard, down the stairs, across the beach and onto the lake. It was a beautiful day and lots of fun.

Brendan Goes Skiing

Here is a video of Brendan skiing for the first time. I took this with our digital camera (hence the quality) while he was in class. He likes going downhill, but is not so interested in the being under control or stopping parts yet.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

 

Daniel's First St. Patrick's Day

 

Lauren will smile for the camera. Anytime. Anywhere.



















We finally catch Brendan without his fake smile.



















Danny found his 2 month shots to be exhausting.

First Smiles

Danny's first documented smile.

Lauren loves everything about her ballet class. She hugs each girl as she arrives.


















Brendan spends hours reading to Lauren. 

Brian enjoys a brief rest with Danny.




















Lauren convinced Brian to dress up as a horse for her ride. 

Grandma Holt came to visit Daniel and the kids. She learned how LOUD it is to live with three kids under 5.
 

Brendan reads Catherine a story. She adores him.



















Grandma DuBay and Lauren relax before dinner.

Daniel is all dressed up to meet the ladies for lunch. 

Daniel begs me to move him away from Lauren's dramatic (and LOUD) reading of Curious George.
