Jane is one of the most photogenic people I have ever known.

Happy Will. In the picture below he was trying to eat the little fairy ruffles on Ava's sleeve, but I didn't get the camera out in time. It was very cute. We had a couple of families in our ward over for New Year's Eve. Our friends the Fishers, and our new next door neighbors. Ava is their 4 month old. Sophie, their 3 month old, was asleep in the other room. The math is a little tricky until you find out that they adopted Ava...and surprise, Sophie was born a month later. I think down the road this will mean good things for Will. We're so excited to have neighbors that are our same ages!! They're really fun too, so we're relieved they bought the house next door.

Sam and Osie were lucky enough to go sledding with their daddies.

Sam is an awesome helper. Yes, that would be several inches of ice that Mike is shoveling off the driveway. This warm/cold stuff is hard to keep up with. I was able to get the rest of the driveway cleared off today since it was so warm...just in time for another storm.

Mixing a little business with pleasure.

And we're finally mostly healthy. In between Christmas and Em's wedding Mike and Will had the flu, Sam had a mild cold, and now Will is just getting over what Sam had. Plus Will is teething, so this last week has been a little hairy. You never realize how much you value good health until someone starts throwing up.
