One Book, Two Book

Today we went to the One Book, Two Book festival in Iowa City. The highlight was Andrew having his face painted. The first year we went to the festival Andrew really loved interacting with all the authors in small groups. The festival has changed somewhat and it doesn't seem to be as interactive as it was. We did meet Lauren Long, the author of Otis, and that was pretty cool. Andrew seemed very interested in the illustrations.
Abigail's favorite part of the day was going down the slide at the library. She also liked to take books off the shelf and then walk away. Fun for her, but not for me ;)

Pig tails!

What a big girl in pig tails!

-50 degrees out!

School was cancelled today due to extreme temperatures! Wow is it windy outside. Nelson went in to work but we stayed nice and warm in the house. We played, did art and acted silly.

A lazy Sunday

Woke up this morning to the sound of giggling in the living room. Andrew got Abigail out if bed and they were coloring at the table and giggling. So sweet!

A fun evening of bowling

We enjoyed getting out of the house and going bowling with the Pfeiffer's. this was Abigail's first real trip bowling and she really enjoyed high fiving after bowling with Nelson. Andrew played a great game and actually won, boy was he excited! The popcorn was a hit and I think all the kids were more into the snacks than the bowling.

January 4, 2014 - 2 Snow Time

The temperatures finally reached 20 degrees and we took advantage. Andrew and Nelson worked on building a snow fort. Abigail and I went for a walk. Abigail doesn't know quite how to walk in her marshmallow suite. She sort of waddles and it is fun to watch.

After 2 weeks with the kids it was hard to go back to work. We had some great evening snuggle time.

Abigail loves splashing in the tub and blowing bubbles everywhere.

New Year's Day

 We rang in the New Year enjoying a snowy Iowa day! After a long trip back from Christmas vacation we all took it easy. Abigail enjoyed watching the Rose Bowl parade, multiple times! Every time she wanted to see it again she would act like she was playing a trumpet.
