Moments

 I've been playing around a little bit with the new camera Dan got me for my birthday.  I haven't quite figured it all out yet, but I've been happy so far.

 I'm so thankful for crisp images of these two little ones to help remember all of these little moments.  Moments that are just mere seconds, but bring so much joy! Thank you for the very special birthday gift Dan:)

 When Kieran is concentrating on something he sticks his little tongue out.  So cute!

Svea was playing with  Mama's slippers and being silly.
We asked her this weekend what her full name was and she said, "Svea Amazing Grace".  Ha ha...we had a good giggle about that one.

 Kieran was playing with the puff balls this afternoon as you can see in these pictures and he was so focused.  He would bring me the container after he filled it all up and then want me to open it so he could do it again.

 Dan was snow blowing this morning and when he came in he took Svea out for a few minutes.  She just LOVES playing in the snow.  Kieran and I watched a bit from the window and he was going nuts laughing at her and banging on the window.  It made my heart melt. They ran in the snow, made snow angels, and Daddy wrote her name in the snow.  She couldn't stop talking about it!

It's been a nice weekend so far. Dan and I got out of the house for a few hours and went to see the Hobbit.  It was good and then we brought home Chinese food.  I remembered how nervous and uncomfortable I'd feel when we would go out when the kids were babies.  It's SO much easier now and they were with Jackie tonight and had a blast.  Kieran just acts like a little flirt when his "girls" come over!

Merry almost Christmas! We are excited to head out to Wisconsin in a few short days to celebrate with Dan's family.
