Some videos

I just realized that we didn't post these videos from back in the Fall. This first is from Coleman's birthday party. Evey blew out the candle before he got a good chance:
And these are a couple of videos of Callie and Coleman playing at the park.

Odds and Ends

Here's a shot of most of the kids at the conservatory. Coleman looks a little grumpy, but he's happy...we promise
We also made some brownies the other day and the kids loved getting to eat some of them.
Here are some videos. There's nothing really exciting going on, but we know family likes to see all that's going on. This is Coleman kicking the soccer ball with Callie: And this is Callie and Coleman running around together laughing:

Wonderful Snow!

There have been two different days this past week that have reached the 30 degree mark. It has been wonderful because one of those days we got about 4 more inches of snow. It was the perfect opportunity to get out and play in it. The snow was the good packing kind for snowballs and snowmen.

check out Callie's very own personal snowman. Notice the eyes on the top of its head! We all worked together to make a big snowman...proud to say he's our best by far since we've lived in Minnesota.

Today we enjoyed sledding with some of our friends at Evey's house. They have the perfect size hill for our little ones. Joining us is Maddux, Sophie, and Evey. I am soaking in these last Minnesota memories, treasuring the last few months of our time here.

A couple of videos

To spice the blog up a bit, we thought we would post some videos. We think that Coleman may have my (Charlie) mom's laughing gene. He cracks up a lot and most of the time at Callie. This is a video of him laughing at Callie kicking a box: He has also joined us for some P90X workouts. He doesn't have all the moves like Callie, but he is learning to jog in place:

Evey's party and more around the house

The other day we were able to celebrate Evey's 3rd birthday. I can't believe that these are some of the last parties we will have with our friends up here. It just doesn't seem real yet. Anyway, the girls had a lot of fun making crafts and eating pizza and cupcakes. Here are a few pictures from the morning.

We continue to be stuck indoors. The days can get long but we can usually find something to pass the time. It might be bath time mowhawks.

or the other day we found both kids playing in the linen closet. They got in there together ( think they were playing with pretend cell phones). Whatever it was, it was apparently funny. We heard them giggling and giggling in the closet. They entertained themselves for about 45 min. I was not complaining!

Monster Munchies

Some Northwestern students needed Callie to be in a commercial for their business class. She was more than happy to comply:
