This is Brooke trying to make her order for her Crepes. It was so funny.

My little kitchen helpers. I know they are not dressed, but it seems I just have to wash their clothes if I put them on them, so only on special occasions do they get to be dressed:)

Valentines Day Fun

Lillian

Aleia

The traditional Valentine's Day dinner served at Fenberg Family Fine Dining. This has become the kids favorite tradition. They talk about it all year and absolutely love it. Moss makes a fabulous waitor with a very interesting accent.


Moss scored big this year! He really thought ahead and brought home this delicious bouquet. Of course the kids were sure it was for the whole family, so I reluctantly shared. It was perfect. I am not a big fan of flowers (especially ones that have been marked up for the occasion) so Moss was creative and came up with this fun idea.

Winter Break

So, we are lucky enough to not only have a spring break, but also a winter break here in New England. I don't know the history behind the whole idea, but I am guessing that anyone who could afford to, found somewhere sunny to go. We on the other hand, had a blast in the snow. we spent several hours over the course of a few days building up a snow fort. This turned out to be no small task.
After receiving inspiration from Calvin and Hobbes, the gaurd of our fort was shot down by the gunman behind the tree. (Really he just melted and fell over) Anna thought we ought to add some strawberry juice to improve the effect. I thought we might scare our neighbors.
The poor little girls spent a lot of time in the house in their high chairs while we finished it. They definitely were troopers. They weren't super into the whole mitten thing. They wanted to eat that snow so bad!
Anna and Mary really worked hard. after building up the base and realizing it was getting wider and not taller, we started forming "bricks" in Tupperware bins. It really worked great, but took a lot of bricks.

Not babies anymore...

Christmas Morning

This year the kids finally received gifts that they have been hoping to get for several years. With some planning ahead we were able to pull it off.

Mary with her first American Girl Doll- Kirsten.

Anna with her pony- Smores (notice the cute little stall built by Grandpa Glen and Mom)

Jacob with his remote control lego set- very exciting for dad too....

Brooke in her new kitchen, baking cookies.

Family Photo (nightmare)

We love our each of our children dearly, but there are times when it is not so obvious.
Homespun family photo sessions would be a case in point.

Our Children will probably be scarred for life after this attempt. But we would not want the tears to be shed in vain, so the pictures must be posted.

Is it too much for a mother to want a small token of all her hard work? (Obviously the answer is YES!)

Our Girl Anna

Well, there are so many things I can say about Anna. If I had to give one word to describe her these days, it would be comedian. She has become the family clown of late. I think she has discovered the power of humor, which she uses to her advantage. There have been several occasions where she has avoided due consequences by getting Moss or I to laugh at her antics.

She really has grown into a fun and happy person. She was very excited to turn 8 so she can finally go to activity night with all her friends at church. She is a great friend and is enjoying her time here in Boston.

Anna's love for animals has only increased as she has gotten older. She is still our resident artist and she is very creative and sincere as she practices her skills.

We love our beautiful and sweet Anna, and we are so glad she is a part of our family.
