January in Photos...and Eli's New 'Do

Our January has mostly been a jumble of school, house showings, and OB appointments, but we've managed to have some family fun amongst all the work! Here's a peek at the beginning of our 2014:



Cassidy tested in her Tang Soo Do class to move up to 5th Gup. She was the highest ranked person to test that day - and the only green belt - so she had to do all of her grabs and forms solo. I think she was VERY nervous, but she did a great job and earned her first stripe on her green belt!

Practicing her grabs before she had to perform them for the testing panel

My precious girl...she's beginning to look like a young woman!

We had fun at the NC Science Museum's Astronomy Days! The kids got a printout of what their age, weight, and jump height would be on all the planets and had their faces painted.

Eli's favorite part of the day was watching the turtle swimming in one of the fish tanks.

Looking Lovely

I finally broke down and cut Eli's hair...and I do mean I cut it! :) Not too terrible for someone with zero experience and training...this was my very first attempt at cutting anyone's hair aside from trimming Eli's bangs a couple of months ago!

Silly Boys

He is VERY happy to have all that hair out of his face!

Enjoying the snow...the kids were SO excited that they rushed right outside after breakfast!

I don't mean to alarm you guys, but there seems to be a dead body behind you...oh, never mind...that's just Lily making another snow angel!

More snow angels...the majority of their time outside was spent rolling around in the snow!

Poor Eli really wanted to enjoy the snow, but he could not stay upright in the rain boots I dug out of the hand-me-down bin!

Sure you're covered in snow, soaking wet, and freezing, but go ahead and eat a big handful! I'm sure that'll warm you up! ;)

We LOVE snow!

What a motley crew!

Eli digging in the snow with Sissy...I don't know what they were playing, but she had him cracking up!

Nothing like a face plant into the snow to ruin the fun...I think he's done!
