Maryn's 3rd birthday

Maryn has been talking for the last couple months about her birthday. She kept asking, "is my birthday next?" And when you asked her what kind of party she wanted to have she stuck consistently to having a YELLOW party. So that's what we had!! Her birthday was actually on a Monday, but we had her party on a Saturday and just like last year there was a big snow. Our families braved the snow and ice and we celebrated in true YELLOW fashion :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARYN!!!!!!

family photo shoot

I connected with an old friend of mine from high school on Facebook and noticed that she has her own photography business. We had her and her business partner come over and they captured some great shots of the kids. If you are in the Indy area and need some great photographers, check out... pinkapplephotography.com

I love these two pictures of Jeremy with the kids

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
