Sleep Little Baby

A couple of weeks ago, on a Saturday afternoon, my baby was very tired, pulled a paper towel under his cheek and fell asleep under the kitchen table.  He was so cute - I had to snap a photo before we moved him to the sofa :)

Little Things Matter Most

Winter Fun!

We haven't had many snow days this winter, and even if there has been snow for a couple of days, it's also been really windy and not possible to play outside much.  But the few days we had, my daughters used them well sledding - and loved it :)
