so happy together

Tate is everywhere these days. 15 months old. Almost walking, but climbing like a champ. Darla and Bennett are finding out that the kitchen table is no longer a "safe" place to play because now Tate can get up there and join them whenever he wants.

Bennett was worn out from excitement and anticipation

about Papa and Grandma coming!

so happy together . . .

Mall of America. The rides were great fun

On the last day Grandma was here she spoiled us with three new sleds! We took them out for a try today and it was a success. D, B and T all had a great time. Darla is a dare devil on her sled. She purposely makes herself spin.

The snow has been so nice! I'll take winter as long as there is beautiful, white, fresh snow. Thanks Mom and Dad for taking the time to come out for a visit. We love you and can't wait to see you this summer.
