Cabin Fever



I get in trouble when I don’t update the blog for a while, but the truth is, there’s not that much to update. We’ve had a touch of cabin fever in our house lately. We’ve had to bundle up a few times and go play outside, even if just for a few minutes. It just seems to reset everybody. I am really looking forward to the warmer weather and not having to deal with coats and static and standing in the cold putting Addison’s shoes back on when we’ve reached our destination. I’m already getting excited about swimsuits and bare legs & feet and playing outside in the water. It’s going to be a long few months!

Long Overdue

We are finally back from our array of travels and getting back into the swing of things. First we flew to Boston to spend Christmas with Grammy & BopBop. We got 18” of snow while we were there, but thankfully our travel plans were not affected. The kids enjoyed the snow for about 10 minutes, which is about 20 minutes less than it took to get them all bundled up. I was just thankful they’re still in diapers so we didn’t have to deal with the inevitable need to pee once we zipped them up.


Then we headed down to Waco to spend some time with the Jumper family.

We had a great Christmas together, and then celebrated New Year’s in true Jumper fashion shooting fireworks off the deck.


The kids have enjoyed playing with their new toys,



but they’ve also really enjoyed playing with each other’s toys.


I guess that's one of the benefits of having siblings!
