as stated on that first blog post, someday, all of our family and house blogs might merge.  but not just yet.

thanks for catching up with us!  

Nature center

There's a cute little nature center and trail at the riverfront in Wilmington. Went there this weekend to enjoy a sunny afternoon that wasn't -10 degrees. 

Bonked heads. Finley smiles, Vera cries. 

Snack time!

Too much walking mom!!!! Need to rest!!!

Horses

Checking out the horses at Bellevue park. 

Drivin in a car

More snow

We make it a habit to build pathetic snowmen on snow days! 

valentines day pictures

had a silly photo session dressed up in valentines gear

First movie!

A few weeks ago Vera saw her first movie at the theater! She loved the whole experience of seeing frozen on the big screen! (We have a few horrible pics to document the day)

Dentist visit!

Vera got her teeth sparkly clean

Mess

Making a mess at the buchs...

professional holiday pics

kiddos all fancied up in their holiday gear...

more christmas pics

(important to note in this picture:  a change of outfit on vera (her and cousin allison are fashionistas. who could possibly wear just one dress on christmas day?!), and that finley and allison are playing with a box.  how cliche.

kids say the darndest things

a quick little non-picture post:

last night, vera pointed at mom and dad and said

"you are both mudder-fadders"

excuse me? 

"mudder-fadders!! you are mudder-fadders!"

wow....

"yeah, we learned at school that mommies are mudders and daddies are fadders.  i am a daughter and finley is a son"

ohhhhh mothers and fathers.  phew!

christmas morning

here's a few pictures from christmas morning at our house...

(that is the infamous towel requested from santa... somehow we missed  picture of the blanket)

Cookie cutter

Vera has a cookie cutter face! 

Lights

This is a house near our neighborhood that you can see from I-95. They go above and beyond with the Christmas lights. Vera asked if we could make our house look like this. Uhhhh no. 

Also I wanted to document Vera's Christmas wishes this year. She would like Santa to bring her a towel and blanket. 

Kids these days are awfully demanding. 

snow!!

we've had a few days of snow already this year.  and we built this ugly little snowman on one of the days.  if we considered it would be in all the snow pictures, we might have tried harder, haha

all done, can we go inside?
