Staying indoors.

This January has been quite cold for us here in Wisconsin, so we haven't been out of the house much. We are trying to keep our spirits up. Here's a couple recent photos.


Now that Rowan has her own guitar, she can enjoy Guitar Hero with her dad.
Maverick is not so enthralled with the music. He's finishing up a yawn.


After a few minutes I figured out the "hands free" shot on our camera. Rowan was a little late in posing with mom. Somehow I made some kind of goofy smile (sheesh).

Happy New 2009!

The kids are enjoying a mid-morning snack. Please ignore the awful carpet in our living room.

Harvey just loves to close doors these days. Here he is playing with his cousin Maylie. They were taking turns going into and out of the coat closet.

Harvey got a big Tonka dump truck from Grandma and Grandpa Allord. He just loves it. He puts toys in it and sometimes sits in it himself. Rowan also loves to play with all of Harvey's new things.

Rowan is helping set the table for the family meal.

By early evening, New Year's Day, our family was starting to feel wiped out. Rowan is just starting to doze off, Andy is completely out and Harvey (who just got up from a nap) is quietly watching TV with his dad.

These were all the photos that I was able to get with my camera for this occasion. Hope the new year will bring more fun and excitement for everyone!
