We are trying out a "new look" for the blog. I did some reading to try to make a few design changes so that we could try to incorporate some recent family pictures we took. I am definitely not a blog designer and now I know why they pay people to do this stuff. As with many projects, it was fairly time consuming. Anyway, about the family pictures....We found a wonderful photographer to take some pictures of all five of us. We have been a little slow in getting family pictures made since Aiden was born, but this actually ended up being relatively easy. Our photographer was very patient, talented, and fun. We basically took pictures of the boys playing outside. It was cool on the day we took the pictures, but not cold so we were able to enjoy the time outside and get some great pictures. I am posting several of our favorites.
We also did a few craft projects recently. We made some snowflakes out of coffee filters and then painted them. We also received some puppy dog craft projects from our cousin Calvin's birthday party and we loved making puppy hats, collars, and eating the "dog food" and "dog vitamins." Thanks Calvin!
I am borrowing this from another blog, but I really liked it and wanted to repost it:

Here are a couple funny "little things" from our week:
1. Aiden does this thing now where he will be walking along and stop and say, "I stuck, I stuck." So, we will say, no you are not stuck, let's go and he will start walking and say, "oh, there I go."
2. The boys received the movie, "Cars 2" from Grandma and Grandpa Carrithers for Christmas and they love to watch it when we are driving in the van. Each of them has a different car from the movie (Lightening McQueen for Luke, Francesco the race car for Liam, and Tow Mater for AJ). They always want to bring their cars with them and when a racing scene comes on the movie, they will race their cars as fast as possible in their laps and discuss who is winning while makes all kinds of car noises. It is hilarious to watch.
3. Liam notices everything, seriously he is so observant. I wore a new shirt the other day and he said, "Hey mom, nice blue shirt you are wearing."
