January in a nutshell

We kicked the new year off right with Josh, Audrey, Sophie and Noah.

we had car rides and 

and bounce house fun
and almost stayed up till midnight to ring in the new year. almost.

Since then we've been busy....

Dressing up

creating works of art

Digging for Dino bones

eating breakfast with batman himself

meeting sweet baby Ava Ann

pouting about the Christmas tree coming down

picking our first fruit harvest from our trees

playing with dinosaurs...daily

dating this hottie

riding trains...

...and tractors

and enjoying the view from the top of the mountain.

And that's the fun part.  My lack of blogging is due to the fact that I've spent a majority of the month like this:

in front of my computer reconciling a years worth of accounting and preparing for year end taxes as well as my general daily print shop responsibilities.  So my computer time has been spent mostly looking at numbers numbers instead of blogging about this cute face:  

 But alas, I'm almost done with the year end stuff so I think I'll be back in the blogging world for real soon enough.
