Well, we finally had a weekend without snow around here! Seems funny to say here in Seaford, VA! Nathan said after our second "winter snowstorm" - "Mommy, why does it have to snow every day?" I just had to laugh. It doesn't usually snow this much around here. Even the snow lover in me has decided that enough is enough with the snow! Bring on the Spring weather!
Anyway, so, last weekend John was finally able to get outside and get started on our new shed. Thanks to several family members at Christmas time we were able to purchase a shed which will be very wonderful to have for all the kids toys, lawn equipment, and hopefully - my gardening equipment as well! Nathan was very happy to take the camera outside and take pictures of Daddy working on the shed. Elizabeth was quite the little helper as well. She loved handing Daddy some of his tools. It was so good for the kids to be able to get outside!

This past week John's sister's little boy Ethan spent three days with us! Nathan and Elizabeth loved having cousin Ethan over to play with! Here is a picture of the three of them watching cartoons in the morning before breakfast. Nathan and Elizabeth were so sweet with Ethan. Nathan very often would give Ethan one of his Thomas the Tank Engine trains to play with - that's saying a lot for a boy Nathan's age who loves his trains VERY much. Elizabeth pretty much tried to maul her cousin with kisses. She was very proud of herself for helping to take care of him. Both kids loved helping to feed Ethan his bottles and change his diapers. Both kids also wanted to help feed him his cereal as well, but... well... I was not convinced that them shoving a spoon into Ethan's mouth was such a great idea, so I took care of that part all by myself!
Thursday evening Ethan even got to spend some time with Uncle John too! As you can see the boys got to play trains much to Nathan's delight.
Here is a picture of Nathan using the laptop! It just made me laugh. He is just doing with he sees us doing every day - and you know I am sure that he is going to know so much more about compters than I do soon! My family is such a blessing. I love all of them, immediate and extended family, so much! Thank you God for all the bessings that you have given!
Elizabeth's hair is getting so light!! I had to read what you wrote by the pic of her, Nathan and Ethan a few times to make sure that was actually her!! Such a cutie-pie :)
