We were baking cupcakes the other day and the kids decided they wanted a photo shoot. Richard wanted one of himself drinking water, I'm still not sure why, but he is funny.

My beautiful girl was sitting on the counter top like this so I had to take a pic.

Then she closed her eyes and had me take a picture. Then Hannah said, "Did you get one of me sleeping? Let me see it."


Richard is my little chef, He takes after his Dad and LOVES to help me in the kitchen. He has become very good at cracking eggs and mixing. He is also good at flipping pancakes.

We have had so much snow lately. The Home Owners Association has not been able to keep up with the snow removal. Richard helped me clear a pathway to our car yesterday. It was cloudy but the snow is pure white and reflected what light was out so Hannah didn't stay with us for very long, it was too bright for her. Not to mention it was 5-6 degrees all day and the humidity was turned into ice crystals and the breeze blew them into our faces. Hannah was miserable.

But Richard was a trooper. I cleared off the Xterra while he dragged the shovel around. After 10 minutes I made him go in to warm up while I finished up. He was not happy with me, but I'd rather have him mad for a few minutes than frost bitten.
