Baby, it's cold outside!!

Yup, here we are in chilly Minnesota today - started out MINUS 9.5 here on our digital thermometer. But we are a hardy bunch and just like Preston, we smile through it!!

The Birthday Girl

Can you remember when you were four? Doesn't this face capture everything about how special a birthday is to a child?

Happy Birthday Brooklyn!

Christmas reflections

I thought I would post a few favorites from Christmas 2006. Along with photos of the grandchildren is a special photo of our three daughter-in-law's modeling their new scarves and hats and stationery from Grandma Crater (my mom). We finished off Christmas day with a cozy fondue with John and Sara while the others went to Fargo/Moorhead to visit their other families.

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2007! I just thought you might enjoy seeing how big this fella is getting - here he is, almost 7 months old, sitting up and trying to put everything he can get his hands on into his mouth. We're just not sure what he thought he was doing with his arms outstretched... was that Preston's version of "so big"? We're just not too sure...
