Snow day #2 for Reuben this week! But today I had to work, so early-riser Nora cuddled up in bed with him while I got ready. :)

This is how I found Alena when I went to check on her before going to bed tonight.
Don't you love the layered PJs too? All her idea.

Two gifts from my wonderful husband: this design-is-so-amazing-it-makes-your-mouth-water-more-than-the-recipes memoir cookbook that he got me for Christmas (that also brought us dinner tonight), and a coffee to treat me after an emotionally rough day.

Light, healthy dinners are just the best sometimes. Especially on Saturdays when you've had a big breakfast!

Alena's newest habit of setting things outside the door of her room after we've put her to bed make me laugh, and tonight was the funniest yet!

Someone saved her nap for the car ride home after a day at Grandma's.... and just kept napping after being taken out of the car. :)

Warm winter weather. Latte in one hand. Alena's perfect hand in the other. Running down the boardwalk together at the park. Oh, these simply beautiful moments!

Much thanks to Brooke for helping me clean out this closet! Before today, we wouldn't have been able to stand in it... eek. How did it get so out of control?
Thanks also to my mom for watching my girls so we could tackle this.

Alena's intent concentration on using her new watercolors to paint Reuben a picture for his birthday. :)

Big deal simple joy for Reuben: having his nurse wife (me) take out the stitches on his finger. Now what to do about that eye....

Night out to myself to read and reflect. I can't seem to make a big dent in this book because just about every. word. gets. me.

Going back to school come May is going to be much easier with this great Christmas gift. I've been giddy about it since I opened it!

A lazy New Year's Day in PJs. Nora wasn't the only one who was in PJs for most of the day. :)

Adult night out to PF Chang's with the Sportels.
Great food. Great times without the distraction of kids. :)

Glad to have the opportunity to have Mattie & Spencer (here from CO!) and Reuben's parents over for a cozy dinner.

And right here is the reason I have not updated my blog in so long! This day was our family Christmas with my family and the best gifts we received were food items with them names "Aunt," "Uncle," etc. We're so excited for Justin and Shawnna's baby to arrive in July! Glad the news is official. :)
