Long winter

These past 10 weeks (since the new baby came) have seem to have flown by and at the same time its been a really LONG winter.  Even though the calendar says its Spring; we are still feeling cabin fever with crazy blizzards that just keep coming. 

Since I haven't been in the kitchen too much over these past couple of months due to adjusting to life with 4 little ones.  Here are some things that we have been doing. 

Eben had a chance to do ski school this winter and enjoying learning how to down hill ski.  

Jaelyn enjoyed taking dance class and being in her first dance recital.  It is such a blessing to have a wonderful women teach her how to worship Jesus with dance.  There were 20+ 3 and 4 year old in her class and they did a great job.  It was special to see so many daddy's there with flowers for their daughters.  J got a beautiful pink Gerber daisy. 

Every day is an adventure around here while we try at stay warm inside.  Our days are filled with school time, creative play and reading.  I really love how Eben enjoys reading aloud to his siblings. 

Jaelyn has become a great mommy helper with her little brother.  She is such a loving servant who is always hugging and kisses Isaiah.   Over March break we had some family visit for the first time to meet the baby which was fun for the kids.  Grampy has made a few trip out to bring us pizza for lunch and to play Yahtzee with the kids.  And to keep busy while Eben is in school Abraham has learned to build train tracks. 

We are hoping that the spring weather comes soon so we can get outside and play.  How have you been dealing with this LONG winter.
