Spring is coming....

We are very hopeful that Spring is coming.  We have been buried in snow ALL winter so far.  Today the winds are high and the snow is falling, although last night we had pouring rain, thunder, and lightening.  It was kind of fun. 

Isabella is doing great in school, dance, and piano.  She keeps me busy with all of her after school activities.  She has started learning "A Whole New World" on the piano. We are so proud of how hard she has worked this year on her piano. 

Ellie is her busy little self.  She is kind of in a tornado stage as she creates a huge mess everywhere she goes.  I feel like that is my job these days, to clean up her messes.  As a matter of fact, I have a play doh mess waiting for me in the kitchen as we speak and the new mess of playing pets with Isabella has started.

Isabella has turned a new leaf and is so helpful.  Last night she cleaned the family room and ran the vacuum cleaner for me.  She is into making breakfast for everyone too.  We got a toaster for Christmas and she has loved it, making toast just about everyday.  Some of the creations can be quite interesting. 

I never posted our professional photos from last fall so I thought I would include those on this post. I think we might need to make this a yearly thing. 

Keep warm until Spring and I think I might have some pretty awesome pictures for you in about three weeks, until then, you will just have to wait!!!

 

Ellie was having a rough photo session, but we managed to capture a few good ones:)

 

 

 I am sure you have all seen this by now as it was our family Christmas card photo!

 

 

I can't express to you how much I love this photo!  Family is everything.
