Subtitled: If you can’t beat it, join it.
In truth, I was outside for ten.
Long enough to…oh…take a few ph0tos of the kids and all.
It’s a blogging thing.
This is Cate’s “The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music” face. She gets it every time she looks at her baby brother, which is pretty sweet.
That is, until she wakes the kid up with her exclaiming.
And then it’s annoying.
In general, Anthony puts up with a lot from Cate, because she’s the kind of fun-loving big sister who talks nonstop while happily pulling you up a hill.
It’s slow going because the hills in Minnesota are very, very steep.
Eventually you get there.
You know how in Wii games you have certain characters that keep popping up along the path to harass you?
This is Ellie the In-Your-Face Mii. She gets shooed away a lot by kids who are trying to pull their sleds.
This is Cate the Science Teacher, (not to be confused with Sid the Science Kid). She is giving Anthony his First Lesson Ever on the properties of snow.
Doesn’t he look stimulated?
Doesn’t he look like he’s having fun?
In truth, he is thinking “My bum is really cold right now.”
Problem solved. The Arms of My Big Sister = No More Cold Bum for Me
That little cold nose is another story.
Ever your honest (for the most part) blogger, I am

Cate looks just like you in that first shot!

So cute! That baby boy is all smiles! My kids want snow so badly… it has been all around us, but none for us (Charlotte, NC area). I guess we'll keep hoping.
Loved the pictures! JMJ
Allison says
I love the pictures! Your kids are all just so cute!
It certainly was cold in Minnesota this past weekend wasn't it?
Suzie says
Yes, join 'it' and 'make the most of it'! I could not bear to live in a place without seasons. Today was a wintery white day … the air seemed frosted along with the trees & shrubs.
Melanie B says
I feel like a broken record: That baby is just so cute!!! I haven't been brave enough to take my boy out in the snow for a photo shoot. You make me want to rethink that.
Sarah - Kala says
Darling! Your family is simply darling beyond description!
Speaking of the annoying Wii characters the bother you when you're playing on the Wii. My kids created a Michael Jackson one (long before he died; this is our third year w/ the Wii) and I swear, MJ is hassling me whilst I "ride" my bike around the island on Wii Fit all.the.time. He pops up unexpectedly. It's kinda freaky.
Sara says
So adorable! He's the cutest little guy.
Christine says
that dog with the big black nose…funny!
Kids too cute!
Jodi says
These are so great! Glad you went out in the cold to get them. I love Cate's Sound of Music shot. Haha. You crack me up.
Colleen says
What a cute baby, and what great big sisters! Send them over to my house, please!!!
Rose says
Anthony is one of the most smiliest babies I have ever seen. Truly adorable!
