February 5th - The Children's Museum

February 4th

I used my new pancake writer to make some fun pancakes this morning.

Cold weather swinging.

February 2nd - Jack's turn

This morning Jack wished me, "Happy Hedgehog Day!" Cute! Now he has the fifth disease. Good thing the rash doesn't seem to bother them.

January 22nd

I was wondering if I was going to have a climber. The flashlight in the mouth is just a nice extra touch.

Digging for dinosaurs at the Houston Museum of Natural Science in Sugarland. There were two other boys in the dino pit - brothers named Jack and Charlie.

December 30th - Baccus family Christmas

Today we celebrated Christmas with the rest of the Baccus family. Nana and Papa were celebrating New Years in Georgia, so it was just the kids. :) Camilla was really good with Josie. I had never noticed how much they look alike until I kept seeing their faces together.

We often try to get get all of the crazy kids on the couch for a picture together.

December 29th - Rockin out

The boys love their Paper Jamz guitars, but Josie seems to love them most of all - especially Charlie's flying V. She loves playing them and dancing to them.

December 27th - Our last day in Minnesota

Today our last full day in Minnesota. It was a pretty good day to go out sledding and we took Epsen with us. It was great fun, but a little windy, so we didn't last long - especially Josie. When Josie isn't playing in the snow, she has been wearing this pink fur coat that I wore when I was little. Here are some pictures for comparison.

We worked a lot on this butterfly puzzle that Grandma got for Christmas. It was addicting.

I took these pictures to show how much snow there is in MN already. The snow was really high.

I made hot chocolate for the kids when we were finally able to get them inside. Espen said, "It's pretty good!" Like he was so surprised. I gave him a hard time for that.
