Happy Valentine's Day!

We are excited for a week ahead with above freezing temperatures to hopefully clear the ice-skating rink that has taken over our driveway, yard and street, but the kids have been enjoying our above average snowfall this year despite the cold.  We're thankful for fairly good health so far this winter and lots of precious family time with our growing family.  Shari is 22 weeks along in her pregnancy and we have an ultrasound this Thursday so besides praying for a healthy baby are hoping to find out if we'll be keeping the boy clothes in circulation or getting to see some more pink around here.  
Alivia - 4 1/2 and loves any photo opportunity

James - almost 3 and rarely have to coax a smile out of him

Josiah - 15 months and just thinking it's pretty cool to be sitting on the kitchen table

Best friends and playmates...such a blessing!

He may not be getting every crumb, but he set about this task with purpose after watching his older siblings having fun with the sweeper.

The playset is still a winter attraction as a slightly wet slide provides the same thrill as sledding.

An especially cold evening provided a perfect opportunity to make indoor snowmen and the kids had fun decorating them with candy then undecorating them and eating the candy. :)

James thought the snow tasted all right too I'm not sure too many of the decorations even made it on his snowman.

A new favorite activity for Josiah...brushing his 6 teeth.

Some loyal Colts fans despite the short playoff run 

Touchdown!

Happy Valentine's Day from the Grays!
