Forever

Although he can't be my sounding board when I feel like I need him the most, I'm confident my dad is forever by my children's sides.

Daddy's 65! What?

*This was supposed to be posted on Mike's actual birthday (2/27) but as usual, time got away from me, but late is better than never.

For whatever reason Molly canNOT remember that Mike is celebrating his 46th birthday. She's quite insistent that he's turning 65 and, honestly, I'm not too quick to correct her!

Mike and Alec are campers. They don't mind the only shower they get is in the dirty lake, they enjoy eating hotdogs for every.single.meal, and the heat doesn't seem to bother them. They are on a mission to get Molly to join their club since I will not. For Mike's birthday I got him the tent of his dreams and the kids each got him something useful for camping. You can see who is excited about the upcoming camping season - even if I wasn't holding the camera I wouldn't be in that group high five!

Good Day

Today was a snow day - right in the middle of the week and not just any week, a week when I have two baking orders so a day off work was just what I needed. We built a snowman, got some laundry done, had snowball fights, played with the neighbors (got some great action shots), and baked lots and lots of cupcakes!

Today was also Molly's 3rd vision exam to determine if she needed glasses, which is does not quite yet. Probably in a few years. But not yet. This is the first time we've left a doctor's office in 2013 without tears.

What a good day!
