Hanging Out at Home

We're enjoying a lazy day at home. Although Marshall's getting a little anxious since he hasn't done any Christmas shopping. So, what does he do when he's anxious - he plays with the Legos. Here are a few pics of the fam around the house.

This is Meili's new model face when you tell her to smile or say 'cheese'. It kind of reminds me of the monsters from 'Where the Wild Things Are' - gnashing her terrible teeth.

Winter is Here!!

This last weekend we had a huge snowstorm that left us with 23 inches of beautiful, white Winter Wonderland. We took the opportunity to go sledding with the family. There's a hill behind some houses down the street that the neighborhood uses for a sledding. Meili wore Isaac's old snowsuit, since she didn't have one of her own. We had a blast!! The kids did pretty well and enjoyed the new experience.

Happy 5th Anniversary!

Today is our 5th Anniversary! I feel so blessed to be married to my dearest sweetheart. We celebrated by going out to a delicious seafood restaurant, followed by a movie (The Blind Side). It was a real treat.

Here are a few things I love about Marshall:

1. He is gentle and respectful and showers me with a thousand sweet kisses.
2. He is a great dad and loves to play with Isaac and Meili.
3. He helps out with household duties and has been dubbed Sir 'Dish'elot (He even changes diapers).
4. He is quick to forgive my mistakes and offers encouragement
5. He is ALL mine!

What Should We Get Mommy for Christmas?

Last night Marshall asked Isaac what he thought they should get me for Christmas. Isaac paused and then replied, "Umm...maybe we should get her some...

Christmas socks?
And...a White 'Monax's' Castle!!"The only present that Isaac has asked for for Christmas is a 1988 Lego set: Black Monarch's Castle (he pronounces it "Monax"). So what better gift to get mom than a white one. Unfortunately, it doesn't come in white.
