7/365 A frosty cold birth day

Today was frosty and cold. Ice on the car and a deep chill in the air.

Frosty cold morning

Icy cold morning

But it turned into a wonderful day!

Today Jack Robert entered the world. His parents are thrilled to have him and so is his older brother Eric. Jack is currently in the NICU because his breathing was a little worrisome, but I have faith he'll be home in no time.

Congrats Jes on your newest son - can't wait to see him grow! Even though I know you hate cake, here's hoping Jack might enjoy it someday.

Happy Birthday Jack!

Happy Birthday Jack!

Since it's Three Kings Day, I thought I'd enjoy just our Christmas decorations just a little longer.

This little guy is one of my favorite snowmen decorations. I found him years ago in an after Christmas sale and he was 90% off. No one wanted him because his arm broke off. But I think he's absolutely adorable and I scooped him up. Now he gets a place of honor along side his two brothers (who have both arms).

Each year I gather the pictures taken during previous Christmas' and display them around the house. Here are a bunch

Christmas Photos

I love Christmas cards. I love them all - the simply ones that say "Merry Christmas" and the photo ones. The ones with glitter and especially the ones were a child has signed their name in big careful letters. I also love how every year they provide a source of colors and designs to enjoy throughout the season.

While I took pictures, the Wonder Cat enjoyed a nap.

Colors really takes winter seriously. With the cold snap that has descended upon us (really, 24 degrees in Florida is not funny), she has barely moved from our bed.
