Warmer temps, are they here ??

I have a feeling, there will be warmer temps and the sun will be shining very soon........

Book List

For the past two years in January, I have been making a list of books that I want to read for the new year. Last year, I read very little. But I was a very busy mom of a newborn, so I am cutting myself some slack haha!
Anyhow, this year, I wrote a new list. Here is a picture of SOME of the books on my list- they are on my bookshelf, waiting to be read. I usually choose a variety- fiction, self help, biographies, and crafty books.....
My first book I finished was Barbara Walter's Audition. I have been reading the Twilight series books and they are great!!! I highly recommend them!! I am almost done with Eclipse which is the third one out of four. Anyhow, I have read so far THREE books the month of January- which isn't any easy thing with 2 young boys- but it proves that I can make the time for myself!!!!

Winter Blues

I talked with a very good friend tonight on the phone. This person had all the right words and what I needed to hear. I am posting a couple of pictures tonight that show how I have been feeling lately. I am hoping soon, the clouds will part and the sun will shine!!!

Crazy Train

The boys are crazy about trains. It started with Jake and now Owen loves to pick up a train and "show" us what he has in his hands- that is what he is doing with Thomas in one of the pictures above. Jake doesn't like it too much when Owen messes with his track and takes the trains off... Soon, they will both be playing the trains together

View from our loft

Here is a view from our loft- there was a glimpse of a sunset- although, hard to tell from the picture. It is very cold out- I think the last I saw, it was 9 degrees.......... I dream of sun filled skies, and some warm temperatures, I think I will be waiting awhile until we see those.... in the meantime, I am trying to be patient

Splish Splash

Ah, bath time..... this only leads to bedtime, which then leads to quiet time for mommy and daddy..... some days, this is the time we look forward to..... Jake and Owen splish splashing in the bath, I get almost as wet as they do from the splashing!!

More pics of our indoor adventures........
