Snow Day

 The kids are always so excited when it snows - even when it's only a few inches.

 

 James is trying to have a snowball fight and Ellie loves getting pulled in the sled.

Below, in the background Tori is always determined to build a snowman (even with limited amounts of snow). 

 Below is what is left of Tori's snowman the next day.

Ellie video

This is just a cute random video of Ellie.  I just love her joy over something so simple.  Of course, baby Henry is quite cute in his car seat, too.

Henry is 6 months old!

Weight: 16 lbs 9 oz

Height: 28 inches

Here is our sweet little six month old Henry.  He is a super happy baby who loves to smile and loves being in the middle of the craziness of our family.  Unfortunately, being number four, means I'm writing this post when he is actually 3 years old trying to catch up on all the posts I haven't done.  So, I can't remember if he was rolling over both ways, yet, but I know he hasn't started crawling.

James Little Dribblers

 James really enjoys a little basketball class at the Y that he has been doing called Little Dribblers.  He really loves racing and running around with the other kids, but his favorite is when he gets to shoot baskets.  I was actually able to capture him making a basketball in the video below.

Below is a picture and video of James getting his trophy:

Dad dates

All of our schedules have been a bit crazy lately, so in an effort to see more of the kids John has been taking them each for some one-on-one time.  The kids call them Daddy dates.  Below are a few pictures he took of hanging out with Tori and James (separate nights).  Ellie's favorite date is usually playing games with Dad in the basement. ;)

Hilarious Video

This video makes me laugh every time.

Tennis Anyone?

Lately, the kids love to get out and just hit tennis balls around the court.  They are super sweet and happy while doing it.  John and I usually hit ball to Tori and James and they're pretty good at getting them back to us and Ellie loves running around with her racket collecting the balls.

I'm just happy it's warm enough in January to get outside and play tennis.
