the rest of january, based on photos...

evidentially when it's cold outside, we do a lot of hanging out inside.. and we don't take very many pictures... but if we do, it's mostly because malachi gets the camera out

he takes the saying 'snug as a bug in the rug' seriously!

one snowy Monday evening, we went on a 'jammie walk' we generally do those in summer, because it necessitates getting ready for bed super-fast, then going for a walk around the neighborhood pajama-clad... we opted for winter coats this time.

Afton loves snow balls

Rayna and Chi love rainbows

everyone loves gently falling snow!

Malachi also went through an overall-phase, which I kinda loved (far better than the dress-up dresses phase). if I remember right, he was posing in this pic because he figured out that his shirt was yellow like his vacuum.

When Asher was born, I started doing push-ups over him (fake girly ones, but hey, it's something!) , so Chi did too... this is his best push-up form... Asher generally loved it when Big brother would play over him, but now he's getting too big, and sometimes gets pretty mad.

anyways, moving on through the photos, hoping to get caught up soon :)
