Nonna Visit

Mom came for a quick overnight visit. She always brings good stuff with her when she comes. This time she brought Vinca Minor for our landscaping. Joe placed an order for me at Scott Bros Nursery.  It was on the house thanks to Joyce's kindness and generosity. I wanted something to help finish things off but wanted things that are low as to not hide the stone. Mom suggested Vinca Minor. Can't wait till it's all filled in, and hopefully we'll have some pretty blooms next Spring.

Mom doing one of the things she loves best. Can't help but accommodate her.

After the planting we had a little birthday party for Nonna. The boys sang and then helped Nonna eat her big extra large cookie.  These boys love their Nonna!!

Hot Chocolate

After braving the cold to play in the snow, one must drink hot chocolate out of a Superman cup, obviously.

Snacking

King of the Mountain

Jack insisted Samuel take a picture with him...and look at the camera...and smile.

Sleepy

This has never ever, ever, ever happened before! I looked over at him and he had his little chin resting on his hand with his eyes closed. Stupidly I said his name, and he opened his eyes. I then realized, 'oh, he's falling asleep.' Then I got excited and told everyone to be quiet so he'd fall back asleep. After a few head bobbles he finally did.

Concrete

We had been waiting since a couple weeks before Christmas for the concrete guys to come. After meeting Tommy and deciding where and how, the concrete guys came out and did the grading. I was so sad to have to cover up so much of that beautiful stone. We had to wait a week, first for rain, then because the temperature plummeted. Love that soon I don't have to back out that driveway! The HVAC guys also came, so now I have heat!

Smoothie

Somebody thinks I made this green smoothie for him.
