January - Baby, It's Still Cold Outside

My lack of blogging lately has not been due to the fact that we've had nothing to blog about...quite the contrary. First of all, Adam and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary on the 8th!! What?! Five years! Adam arranged a babysitter, and we enjoyed a nice dinner in downtown Columbia followed by a visit to Starbucks. It was so nice to have a quiet dinner with no interruptions from a very talkative 2 year-old or squeals from a baby girl! :)

Josiah received several more trains and track pieces for Christmas, so while we were still in Raleigh, Adam and his dad started working on a train table for Josiah's room. Here is the finished project! Josiah absolutely loves it, and it's the perfect height for Bella to hold onto as well. Great job, Adam! (and Pops :)

Up until the past couple of days, we have had a very cold January, so most of our time has been indoors. We've kept busy by....

snuggling/playing on the bed

experimenting with new ways to eat our food

I color-coordinated the kids outfits one Sunday - Josiah is still in that "don't take my picture" stage, while Bella LOVES the camera! =) (thanks Gammie/Pops for the new outfits)

making messes - this one was Bella's handiwork

flying "to infinity and beyond"!

making bull dog faces

Here is a quick video of our "scooter poots." She has her own way of getting around!
