Show me your...

BEADS!! Jesse and I went to a ST Patrick's Day Parade last weekend and he now has a new fetish to add to his growing list: beads. We do not do ANYTHING without the beads on.

eating with his new beads

playing outside with the new beads

and even bathing with the new beads

Everywhere we go, they come along too...they must be on in the car seat when strapped in, worn on our walk, and while planting flowers. I had to put my foot down on going to bed with them, that didn't go over well.

365 Days to go!

It's been a busy, exhausting month, to say the least, preparing for Garret's departure...but now that he left today we can start the countdown for him to return home safe!

Neither one would let go of the other all morning.

Half of the formation...LOTS of soldiers

That's Garret in the very front all by himself.

Here's to a new normal.
Here's to a quick year.

Here's to a safe return.

Bay-bees

Jesse translation--Babies! And he LOVES the Anderson twins...I honestly believe he thinks he is their sole protector in this world!

Hi Hoe, Hi Hoe...

...it's off to work he goes!
Apparently Daddy had too much work to do...don't worry, Jesse was there to save the day!

February

February was a BLUR! Here are some random pictures and a video to enjoy though :)

Jesse's new favorite book is "Go, Dog, Go!" He often reads on his own, that day he HAD to be in the rocker!

Vikings Gone Wild
Playing Ukelele

Garret's 30th Birthday

Life doesn't get Better than this...no pants, box of cookies, TV on, and sittin' with my Daddy

Lunch at Panera with Levi and the rest of the Miskowski's
