Paige Turns 2

In early February the Frows were settled in pretty good and had Paige's 2nd birthday party!!  It was a bunch of fun.  We played outside in the yard for a long time and had a blast.  Paige was super cute in her pig tails and the grub was scrumptious.

Sliders and sides....

Mama and Si guy in party mode.

The Birthday Girl!

Licking her lips in anticipation.

The men entertained the kids outside because the women folk thought it was too cold..... there were only a few injuries :-)

Boys Around The House

These are some fun pictures from around the house at the end of January and beginning of February.  These boys love to play together and be silly.  They also love to read!!!  I don't think the pictures need any captions....

Piggy Bank

Grandma Mutti has a tradition of getting her grandkids piggy banks and Simon got his on the first of February.  The other boys love putting coins in their banks and I am sure Si-Si will be no different.

Mutti, Si and his new bank.

I really have no idea what is going on....

Snow.... kind of...

In mid January we got a North Carolina snow... which means there was a little bit of snow on the ground, the grass still showed and the world almost came to an end.  The boys and Andrea got outside to explore and play a little.

Eli exploring.

Emmett sporting a UK snowsuit.  My parents got us two snowsuits from a yard sale a while ago.  This was the only one that fit and Eli was very disappointed he did not get to wear one!

Mama and Si-Si in the snow
and using his halloween costume for warmth :-)

Emmett contemplating the snow/ice covered
slide.... if you zoom in his face is priceless!!!

They look really enthused about the amount of snow we got...

Randomness

These are some random pictures from early January.

A sunny day on the playground.

Dada and Emmett playing on the tire swing.

The three boys being silly on the floor.

A delicious apple pie Andrea made and
was very proud of (rightfully so)!!!

Simon sliming up the exer-saucer!

Si-Si looking cute.

Christmas with the Fam

A few days after Christmas we celebrated with the rest of Andrea's family.  This year was especially hectic because Simon and Andrea had spent the previous 2 days in the hospital!!!  Simon was having some trouble breathing during the night and he went to the ER.  He got admitted because he needed oxygen for low oxygen levels.  He ended up having bronchiolitis and they were discharged in time to go straight from the hospital to family Christmas!!  What a blessing that he was okay and they got out in time!!! 

Eli and a new soccer goal.

Simon and Mama with a new book.

Claire chomping on an Amish candy necklace we got her.

Emmett chillin' while he opens presents.

The boys playing with a new set of police toys; a big hit!

They look really good for coming from the hospital!!!

... and the crazy one being crazy!!!

Finally a video of the boys playing with the police toys.  It is a fun video if you watch how busy they all are but at the same time they are playing together (at least Wyatt and Eli).  The video ends with a snippet of Emmett playing by himself!

Christmas Hangover

I don't remember the context of this picture but I know it was taken the day after Christmas.  When I look at it I first see how cute Emmett is and then it just totally looks like a Christmas Hangover..... oh those crazy boys!!!
