New Puppy

We got a new puppy in February! A blue weimaraner, Roubi Blu!

Little Things: February

For us, a lot of times, it's the little things that make life sweet: reading books in a Harrmann pile (we're never more than three feet away from each other, really), taking naps, building snowmen, or cooking. It's a wonderful life!

Me and the boys made renegade biker snowmen. Complete with ketchup/blood.

January: Wrestling

Gabriel tried wrestling this year. He learned a LOT and had a blast! Here are a few photos from his season on the Upton team.

National Lutheran Schools Week: Nerd (and crayon) day

National Lutheran Schools week rolled around again. Asher's class dressed up as nerds, while Rhy's class were all different colored crayons. (They had costumes at school.) Too cute!

Gabe's 13th Birthday

Gabriel is now a TEENAGER!! Crazy!! He had a great birthday ... the big gift was an ipod Touch from mom and dad. For dinner, we had Moroccan Chicken with peanut butter pie for dessert. I can't believe he's getting so grown up!

New Piano

In January, we got a new piano, an A.B. Chase upright. We bought it off of Craigslist from a lady who lives on Lakeshore Drive. Inside, there are tuning dates that go back to 1903! And it's not even too badly out of tune! Ash & Rhy can't wait to start taking lessons!
