Abby's girl scout friends!  Somehow I ended up a troop leader, but we are having a lot of fun.  What sweet girls.

I love this picture Abby drew for Matt for his birthday.  Unfortunately, Matt spent his birthday last week in the ER with our sweet Connor.  The way he was breathing was a bit concerning so Matt took him to urgent care after dinner.  They also were concerned and so they sent them on the ER.  I am so thankful that my sister is close and was able to come over and watch the Abby and Charlie(and encourage me to drive down our snow covered hill) while I visited Connor in the hospital.  He was such a tropper despite having to get an IV.  The silver lining is that we have now convinced Connor that he needs to wear a coat in the winter.

Abby and Connor were in stitches experimenting with static electricity this morning.  The poor torchered 3rd child.  Luckily, Charlie is such a good sport.

Christmas morning face painting.  We had such a great Christmas.  My brother and his girlfriend flew in from Colorado and we got to spend a ton of time with our beloved cousins and grandma and grandpa Ott.
