Snowball fights

Boy throwing a snowball at me.

This pictures cracks the kids up because you can see the snowball that Princess Sparkley threw at me, midair, in front of Boy.

Sledding in St. Louis

The grandparents were nice enough to actually have real sleds for our kids to try out. And even nicer to have bought a house with a small hill in the backyard.

These are not our kids' real names.

Okay, so I worry and am super paranoid. And thus, when I talk about my kids on the internet, I will refer to them as: Princess Sparkley (currently age 4 1/2) and Boy (almost 3).

Princess Sparkley because that is the name of our future girl puppy and many of her stuffed animals have been named this at some point.

Boy because for a long time, we could only call him by his name, or Boy. He was very adamant that we had to call him Boy.
