Beating the January Blues





We live in area that is know to have many eagle.  This time of year we often have an eagle or two that sit up in the tree that I can see out the kitchen window.  One morning I looked out the kitchen window to check on our morning eagle and there were a few up there.  I looked out another window and saw a few more.  Then I started checking out all the windows.  I don't know what was going on but I counted 16 out one window.  It was awesome but I made sure not to let our little dog out while they were all out there.



 I was getting this guy ready for bed one night and he just kept giggling. 
 It was super cute and I'm glad I got R to catch a quick picture.



 N is an awesome reader.  
I love that he loves books


I don't know if these guys are our regular  morning eagles or not
 but they were in the right tree.




Snowshoe fun


 He's running these days 
but still too early for snowshoes
so he hitched a ride ; )



 I'll admit, I got a little excited about all the pretty colours



Cupboards and kids
smiles and giggles
Clean pots are way over rated anyway.


We don't have much screen time in our house
but I'm perfectly fine with dryer time.



Nathan decorating for his little brothers
FIRST BIRTHDAY
WHAT!?

How did that happen?
The first month seemed like it would
n.e.v.e.r.  end 
Then just like that he's 1


 Peek a boo I'm behind the cake



 Mom and Dad
came to celebrate
Yeah!


To help pass the winter along we paired up with 
friends and hit the big city for a night of fun.
Friends
Hotel
Pool
Pizza
Movie
Water slide
Hot tub
Skating
Brand spanking new library

We had fun


 Did someone say pool?



 Just a little happy



 3 years of hockey has paid off.
This guy can skate really well!



 Library Time



 He liked the library too!

So I could deceive you all and let you think that N just read books at the library and left thinking that it was as amazing as I did but that would be a BIG lie.  Nathan really was enjoying the library and then he spotted the tv's and gaming stations.

Libraries have really changed.
Gone are the days of just books.
No kidding, this place had a cafe, a movie room, a kids play section
I saw a person eating pizza in their own little cubby area and then there was
video game section.
They had Minecraft.
That was the end of the books.

So yes, N will tell you his favourite part
of our weekend get away was the library and
while you may be impressed, he loved
it for reasons that might surprise you.


Miles often roams around the house with something on his
hear or around his body.  I don't know why, but he likes it.
I found this little backpack in a bunch of the next size clothes I brought up
a few days ago and now he roams around with it on.
I think it's pretty cute.



 Mr got a new haircut
Have I introduced Piggy yet?
If not, I'm surprised.
Piggy arrived at Christmas.
Piggy now trumps puppies.
That is HUGE.
Huge!
I guess piggy will be hanging around
for awhile.



 He looks so big to me in this picture.
I guess he is 1 now.


There's our January in review.
Some days were better than others
but we tried to make the best of what 
can be a long drab month so I'm
going to say we beat those
stink'n old January blues.
