Beautiful Run

It was cold and snowy this morning but I was glad I ran. Not only because it keeps Cana sane but because it sure was beautiful. Here is the Mounts farm, looking very pretty in the sun and snow.

Superbowl XLV

The outcome of Superbowl XLV was not what anybody wanted, but we did manage to have some fun. Like the last Superbowl, Paul had wardrobe changes, only one this time. He was excited to wear his Steelers clothes just like mommy and daddy. At half time, Chris, Becky and Becky's daughter Brett joined us. Paul really liked visiting with Brett's birds and was quite fascinated with them. Brett also played with his trains with him and chased him around the kitchen. Having good company helped distract us from the bitter defeat!

Funny Kid

This one just has to make you laugh!

Making Pasta

We made homemade pasta last night. It was our first time making whole wheat pasta and it took some work to figure it out. Paul was helping with his own bit of dough. He was very patient while we figured it out. It sure was delicious when it was all done, Paul enjoyed it too.

Aidan and Emerson's Birthday Party

Paul had a great time at Aidan and Emerson's birthday party. Aidan has a big train table and lots of trains and cars, so Paul was quite entertained. I was glad Aidan liked his train books so much.

Outside, Yay!

Even though it was still cold, it was really great to be out in the sunshine today! It did Paul and I both a lot of good even though it was a crazy no-nap day.

Visit with Cousin Brian

We had dinner and a play date with Kate, Brian and Liam last night. Liam is getting so big and is such a sweet baby. Paul had so, so much fun playing with Brian and all of his toys. Brian had The King from Cars and Paul played with it almost the whole time. They had fun hiding in Brian's tent and tunnel. They played for a long time with Brian's awesome train track. It was funny that Paul kept calling Brian "Tugs" and Brian kept calling Paul "Bryce." All the way home Paul begged me for some milk in a "blue cup with a lid and a straw" just like Brian's. He drank more white milk than I think he ever did in his life when we got home. Good thing I had the same cup! Today he kept asking when we were going to Brian's house again. The best part for me was that someone else was entertaining Paul for a while!
