HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKOB!

I can't believe Jakob will be 5 tomorrow. He must be excited--the kids would not go to sleep tonight. I hope they sleep well--we have a lot of fun planned for tomorrow! Happy birthday my sweet baby boy Jakob!!! Tomorrow we will honor your beautiful birthmother too for choosing to bring you into this world! We love you both so very much!

Minnesota winter fun!

Here's a few of our pictures from our FIRST winter storm back in mid December.  We do actually love the winter for the most part.  We even thought about moving to Alaska at one point of our lives.  Maybe someday. . . . but it seems Minnesota is doing the trick for us now.  The kids were able to do some sledding with Grandpa while we visited them for Christmas.  I knew I should have run out there with my camera, but watching them from the window was the most precious thing ever.  I will never forget that.  Grandpa dug some tunnels for them too.  I'm so happy that my kids enjoy being outside!
