Winter Blues
Is anyone else out there experiencing the winter blues? You want to go outside and play but it is just too dang cold?! And it gets dark so early too. I hate that and I start a countdown to Spring every year around this time. Well, here is something that is helping me not to feel the winter blues too much this year. This cute baby I get to look at all day long.![]()
Taking a bath at Grandma’s house.
Modeling his Christmas Eve pajamas
Playing in his sister’s room while she is gone. Shhh. Don’t tell.
Watching a little “Kung Fu Panda” with Todd the Turtle.
Begging to be held by his lovely momma.
Going to church.
