Half-way There!

Half-way to what? Levi is half-way to his first birthday! Well, more than half-way now, but this picture was taken on his half birthday at least :) He is taking his first sled ride at Grandma & Grandpa Konop's house. We had a great week up north visiting them and seeing cousins and friends. Check out the pictures in our Picasa album.

Craft Time 2

We got some contsruction paper the other day, and Ruthie has been wanting to make EVERYTHING out of it. She asked me to make Clifford (the big red dog), T-Bone, and Cleo (Clifford's friends). Here she is, showing you her (ahem...mom's) creations one by one; then trying to show all of them at the same time :)

Craft Time

This is Ruthie making one of her Packer necklaces for the Super Bowl party. (The other one was yellow). I'm amazed at her concentration and fine motor skills. She did at least half of the necklace all by herself!

Could they be twins?

Recently people have been telling me how much Ruthie and Levi look alike. I am beginning to see more and more resemblances too. So I decided to do a little experiment. I lined up their newborn, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 month pictures to see how they've grown. One thing I noticed is that Ruthie had much more hair than Levi does; but that's ok, boys look cute bald :) I don't think they look all that similar; but they are definitely brother and sister! (you can tell who is who, right??)

Do You See What I See?

A happy, goofy 2-year-old making faces at herself in an ornament!

Thursday/Christmas/Birthday Party

We hosted a Christmas party for our usual Thursday Night crew, plus a few more. It was also close to Josiah's second birthday, so the kids decorated cupcakes and rice crispie cut-outs. Food was eaten, games were played, fun was had. It was a great evening!

Saint Nick

One morning, Ruthie and Levi's stockings had 'bumps' in them. Upon further investigation, they contained Mrs. Potato Head, and some fun balls, respectivley. Several mornings after this, Ruthie checked their stockings for more 'bumps'. As you can see, they loved their surprises :)
