the many faces of theo...

Theo is so expressive with his little face and you gotta love the eyebrows...just had to share :)

indoor snow fun!

Maryn loves to play outside in the snow, but unfortunately it has been so cold we haven't been able to go out. So...we brought the snow inside!! She loved putting her mittens on and scooping up the snow. We used cookie cutters to make shapes and even made a little snowman. We did this on a Sunday and she was super excited to go into school on Monday and see that the sensory table was full of snow and there were even spray bottles of paint to squirt on the snow!

a sneak peek!

A couple of weeks ago, Jeremy took the kids and I through the new JW Marroitt hotel downtown. I didn't really take any pictures of the hotel, but mainly of the view from the 32nd floor. The hotel is beautiful and I am so proud of all the work Jeremy has put into getting this project completed over the last four years. Can't wait for the big grand opening gala later in February!!

makin' the most of january...

January always seems so long. Is it because of the holidays being over, the gray skies and cold days, or just because it is long? Whatever the reason, we've have been trying to make the most of the month. I borrowed Jeremy's moms "high quality" camera and have been trying to capture what I can of the kids. Hope this brings a bright spot to your gray winter days :)

Maryn had been asking to go to work with Jeremy so one day we stopped by, had lunch and she helped Daddy on the computer

nice and clean

Maryn loves this little tunnel at school

frozen hair

peek-a-boo puppy

flour blush is the newest thing didn't you know??

already a charmer ;)

who knew the toy aquarium could be so interesting?!?

go BU...Maryn looks thrilled and I think Theo is spitting up...oops!

so in love with this little guy

Theo is 2 months old!

When I look back at pictures of Theo from when he was born to now...wow, what a difference!! From the baby boy that only weighed 5 lbs 7oz at birth, he now weighs in at 11 lbs 7 oz and is 22 1/4 in long. He has gained 6 pounds!! I have officially packed away all the newborn clothes (sniff, sniff) and we are sported some 0-3mos still and 3mos clothes.

He is sleeping better, only up once a night, which is awesome for mommy :) He loves to look around and makes the funniest facial expressions. He goes from being really serious to a little smirk to an all out smile...love it!

2011...oh what will you bring???

On New Year's Day we went to an afternoon Butler game! It was Theo's first big game and the noise in Hinkle didn't seem to bother him at all. Maryn was pretty excited to yell her cheer, "1, 2, 3...are u a bulldog? oh yay!!" over and over...not sure what everyone around us thought :)

After the game we had some good friends that use to be in our house church over for pizza. Sara and her new husband were in town from New Hampshire and the Wrights made the "long" drive down from Westfield. It was great to be able to catch up!

Hopefully we'll get some better pictures at another game this season :)

so long 2010...

Our New Year's Eve was pretty low key :) Since the weather was pretty nice we thought we would go to the zoo, but unfortunately they were closed. We ended up at the NCAA Hall of Champions and basically had the place to ourselves for awhile. Maryn loved the second floor which was fairly interactive. Later that night we fixed dinner at home and of course watched the ball drop at midnight :)

Thanks for all the great moments 2010!!!!!

In deep thought about what we should do :)

what sport is for me? hurdles??

basketbal?

running?

Maryn was scared of the statues behind us...

we had to do some bribing to get the picture taken :)

Maryn loves red cardinal down by the new JW hotel...she calls them "Daddy's hotels" :)

Happy New Year!!!
