Mushing through January...

So January is always one of the hardest months... the holidays are over... there's still 8 weeks of hard winter left (I even have a countdown to March 1st going!)...winter seems endless! We've made it through several weeks of bitter weather to finally arrive at some decent temps--around 30 yesterday and today! However, it's difficult to enjoy nice weather with 2/3rds of the family fighting the flu. :( Sophia and I did manage to get in some good outdoor playtime yesterday, before the bug struck Sophia in the wee hours of the morning (Travis has been fighting it since Monday). I'm onto my 2nd toddler movie in a row at the moment, and decided to take a break and update the blog a bit! Send us healthy thoughts!
Toddler fashion... naked butt, pink socks, princess shirt over sweatshirt, cowgirl hat, and baby bib!
We've been doing a lot of baking during the super cold and sunny weeks... good bread-baking weather! Here's my first attempt at a traditional Swedish bread (Go Swedes!): a braided Cardamom loaf! Yum!

Sophia has been drinking lots of herbal tea and, her fave, hot chocolate!
Cocoa goatee!
