A Few New Pics...

Sophia modeling one of the onesies that Auntie Ruth made her :)


We've been dog-sitting this week...Here are our two with Joey. All four of them pretty much spent the whole week on this little rug! With Sophia, of course.

Chris and Jin and the twins joined us for "Toddler Time" at our local library

After stories and music we had craft-time! (That's Chris and William next to Sophia)

Today (sunday) we went to our favorite breakfast location: Boppa's Bagels! Sophia is nuts about their fish tank!

Hello to the Midwest!

I couldn't believe how much snow we have when I got home! It's hard to tell without a good reference point, but keep in mind that our deck is about 3 ft high...

We had another Christmas party, and then Magdalene's birthday party this weekend in Grand Forks!

The grandkids

Sophia on a scooter at Laura's during the b-day party

Hanging out with her cousins! Unfortunately, my batteries died so I didn't get too many pics

Sophia got some amazing presents from her great-grandparents, Snookie and Cash, including a Disney Princess doll set that included a mini pack 'n play and stroller! Sophia loves it!

She's been pushing her dolls all over the place!

Feeding her doll in the little bassinet

Then dolly needed a diaper change! She's such a good little mommy!

My mom recently requested some new pics of Sophia's nursery, which I decided was a good idea! Here's the west wall (the wall with the door)

The north/east corner

The east/south corner

Close-up of the east/south corner...I love that cute little lamp and the turtle!

The south wall...we keep the "rippable" books high on that shelf. Her board books are in the living room...she's getting quite the book collection! I love her nursery :)

One Last Kiss!

Goodbye Vermont!

Last Sunday was our last full day in Vermont! Ruth and Joseph joined mom and Sophia and myself for church, and then Joseph came over for a little playdate. Sophia and Joseph watched some new storybook DVDs from Michele that have some pretty catchy music...when they weren't enthralled with the screen they were dancing!
Then we went to Deb's to visit (my friend, Jenna's, mom)...everyone loved the kitty!

Sophia loves her puppy from Auntie Jenna! She's tickling the puppy!

Getting a smooch from her grandma

Jumping on the bed with Auntie Ruth!

Thanks for the playtime, Deb!

A last snuggle with Uncle Chris :)

There's no better way to say goodbye to Vermont than with a good dance and a laugh! We had so much fun!

More Vermont fun!

On Friday we went to Bristol for a playdate with Joseph at Bob's house...Sophia got her diapering supplies out and freshened up her teddy bear!
Dance party!

Jam time!

Bob and Joseph made some great music!

Sophia and Joseph have become fairly affectionate!

After our playdate at Bob's we headed to Cubber's for some food...Joseph insisted on being in a high chair like Sophia! They are so cute!

Joseph shared his drink with Soph...he held the cup for her...so sweet!

Her grandparents have been getting in a lot of "floor time!" She LOVES her new big bear from them!

Friday night we all got together and played cards and "tied one on"

We had a lot of fun!

Zoe enjoyed the fun too!

On Saturday we went up to the "Gap" (a road over the mountain that closes in the winter) for a little snowboarding...we made a bonfire...we made it about 10 times before it finally stayed burning!

Sammy enjoying the snow with Zoe

Schuyler working on the fire...

Chris and me at the top of the hill, ready to snowboard down!

The bottom of the hill...apparently word has gotten out about how fun the Gap is, because there were at least 20 cars there...from as far away as California!

Our ride to the top!

Hanging around the bonfire...check out the beautiful view!

There were a lot of people coming down the mountain!

Sophia had a good time getting pulled around in her little sled!

Sky took a turn pulling too

Heading home was a little crowded...Chris had to sit in the cargo space with Zoe!
