the many faces of chloe

this little girl is my daughter, i swear. my sister sends me these pictures whenever there is need to document these moments. be sure to find the ring pop, smeared-on concealer and look-alike picture of one of the John&Kate plus 8 kids. i am currently accepting all pictures of nieces and nephews to brighten my day.











we miss you chloe, please stop growing or you're going to break some hearts!

The grass is always greener....in the Spring

Remember this? I barely do. I feel like I haven't seen anything green in a while (including money.) The winter has been fun but I can now understand how snow can handicap a whole state.


The boys played while the girls crafted. They built a snowboard ramp...


and jumped off the second story deck into the pile they had shoveled off. Hard work huh!


The not so fun part was digging out the car. Oh wait, I wouldn't know because I didn't shovel one snowflake.


We appreciated the plows but they just kept pushing more and more snow into our cars. There was no more room!


The big piles made for a sweet man ice cave. Here Ben is modeling the comfort and expansive living area. These storms were fun and epic but I'm ready for some sunlight!
