Pause...

Whew!  That was a lot of work!  I am going to take a break, but will get back to the postings ASAP.  In the meantime, here is a parting shot...

Pics with mom





As a stay-at-home mom, I spend all days and nights with my kids.  Sometimes, it makes me crazy that I never get a real break, but I always know that I wouldn't give it up for anything.  These three are a whole lot of fun.

Dressing up




Ella and Liam really enjoy dressing up these days, and for a long time that has meant hand-me-down dresses, skirts and fake heels - even for Liam.  As a Christmas present, we augmented the collection with a number of new gender-neutral items.  But alas, he still enjoys a fabulous dress - and with legs like his, who could blame him!?

Lotsa family!








With holiday season, we had the chance to spend nice time with both of our extended families.  The kids and I spent almost two weeks out in Washington (Will had to head back a bit early to get back to work) at Thanksgiving and then we had nice visits in Long Island and the Adirondacks around Christmas.  We are hoping for even more family time in 2013!

Family shots


Will, Hannah, Ella, Liam and Nora - we make quite a crew.  What an adventure this is!

Miss Nora Jane Morris








This little girl is growing so much and delights us daily.  We are starting to get a real feel for her personality and she is such a love.

Adventurers



We have had a number of adventure hikes and really enjoyed seeing the kids get out and get dirty.
