Good Day Sunshine!

Mr. sun decided to bring the warm weather again yesterday, which was SO lovely. We got outside toward the end of the day, and this time I took a few pictures. 

She made a "train track" of chalk. 

"You're not drawing mommy... here's the chalk! DON'T YOU WANT TO USE THE CHALK MOMMY!?"

Of course I did. I just like taking pictures more. Eventually I made alphabet art.

The sky looked cool. 

We had a little spy peeking at us on and off. 

He was very chirpy and curious. Methinks his nest is in that bush.

Hope ya'll enjoyed the sunshine!! Now go put a coat on... the cold is back!

60 Degrees in January? YES PLEASE.

I totally wore my rainbows today. It would have been WRONG not to.

Today was a very nice day. A. VERY. NICE. DAY. This day was such a boost to this sunshine-loving-California-girl's spirits. It got up to 62 degrees or so here in central Ohio, quite unusual for the middle of winter. I think everyone around here capitalized on it. Audrey and I descended on the park with some good friends and enjoyed the heck out of it. I should have been snapping pictures right and left, but the kids had runny noses which doesn't make for awesome pictures. Plus, quite frankly, in my excitement to spend time outside, I forgot my camera. GREAT.

I did have my phone with me, so I snapped a couple of me in the SUNSHINE. I just love the word. I could say it all day long. SUNSHINE SUNSHINE SUNSHINE. Ahhh. It was windy too.

SUNSHINE. SUNSHINE! And wind blown hair. 

Thank God for this day. I doubt we will see many more days like this before spring actually rolls around. But here's to hoping!!!!!!!!

Snow Days!

It's COLD, Mommy!!

She LOVES it though. 

 

"Stir Crazy" personified. These long winters drive us crazy. COME ON SPRING! We want to play outside!

Sometimes we contemplate shipping ourselves to somewhere with a warmer climate. 

Hrmph!

Well, though I am relatively busy with life right now, I don't have too much to post. Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures at all over the holidays as I was busy chasing Audrey around, moving in a blur of motion at all times. However, I'm waiting for the pics from my Dad and my sister's boyfriend who took many beautiful pics! When I get them, I'll post a sequel to my Winter Pics post!

2010 was a terrible blogging year for me, and I don't see 2011 shaping up to be any better. We can hope, though! Here are a few random and mostly terrible pics that I took from the past few weeks!

Audrey and Nolan singing the ABC's together... it was priceless!!!! This one is not terrible! :D

Snowing!

Audrey all cozy in our beloved Big Red:

FINALLY asleep on the way home from Amish country with my family!

It's official, my brand spanking new blackberry takes terrible pics! oh well! HA (Kim, Lenny and me entertaining ourselves on the way home)

Bundled up for a walk in the snow :)

That's all for now folks, slim pickings I know! More to come soon, I hope! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

Audrey's First Snow Experience

It was quite a hit! Audrey loves playing in the snow, especially building snow men with daddy.

New Banner

In honor of the winter season and upcoming snow, I had to make a new banner. So fun! It's so chilly here today - in the mid 30's, getting into the low 20's tonight. Brrr!
