Marshmallows in Jan

Danny reading the new Old Testament stories book the church came out with this year.
Laying around in the blanket closet.
Toby has been into the toy food a lot this week.
Laying around in the stuffed animal bucket.
Grace and her friend Amy hanging out at the library today.
Our short walk on the Lagoon Trail. It ended up being too cold.
Charlie wanted "war paint" for our marshmallow shooter war today.
Danny too.
Some post-war downtime.
Playing cards before 1:30 church.
2 lbs of cashews from our neighbors who own Western Nut.
Little pudding lover.

Best friends.

Charlie's shark skate park. I love it so much!
Lagoon Trail.

Bison.
Elk.
Cool old house details.
Yes, we washed that blanket when we got home.
Battered fried bananas. Yum!
We got an email that Charlie was in close contact with someone who tested positive for Covid. He said the girl who sits next to him had been out for a week. He tested negative.
He taped paper rips on his clothes for the zombie war!
Ready for war!



Aiming practice.




Sunday portraits.




Still life.
Covid tests are tickly!
Cute and cold.

Still easing in to 2022

Alice took this cute pic of Toby on her school ipad.
Grace likes to take less flattering pictures on her phone;)


Or sweet ones.
Nope, back to these.
A drawing from her friend on the front of a nice card saying how much she appreciates Grace's friendship:)
Yep.
Oh, and this mouse skeleton she saw on the neighbor's sidewalk. Yeah, let's move on to Paul's pics.
Toby reading in the fort Charlie made.

Red-tailed hawk on our birding date today.

Okay, now my pics. Here is our new painting all in place on the wall.
Playing toy food with Toby.
Sick most of the week, with SUPER chapped lips. 
Dinner one night. Grace made baked breaded veggies (carrots, peppers, cauliflower, and mushrooms), and I made puff pastry quiche, and brie wrapped in puff pastry. Pretty fun!
The boys switched beds. Now Charlie is on bottom.
I love this kid.

Quick game of tag on our family walk one day.
The parents.
Walking home.




Toby has finally started wearing shoes!!
Alice is really proud of this pic she took on her ipad. Love it!
Love him!
Tickling Daddy.
Pics from our date today. Red-tailed hawk.
Frozen pond.











Coots.
Herons.

We got up to Goose Egg Island and were the only ones there to see these harriers flying around right at eye level!




I love my birding buddy!
Remember this front tooth Danny chipped a year and a half ago?
It's gone!
Sick little guy.
I've been working through an iphone photography book Paul got me for Christmas. I have been reading a section on portraits. I like to practice sometimes.
