January and Beyond.

This January, my entire immediate family was under the same roof for the first time in years. We spent a few days in a cabin along the north shore of Lake Superior. Skyler got some quality time in with Melody on the drive up.

While my brother and sisters went skiing, Skyler and I got a little hiking in.

Skyler found a stick! We were very thrilled to watch it hit the water.
Ice is neat.

On Valentine's Day, Melody, Skyler, and I went out for lunch and to the zoo. It was very bright, so Mellie got a new hat!

And she got to ride on Daddy's shoulders!

Plus, she's been working on growing some teeth! Although they aren't completely visible yet, today was the first time I could hear them clicking on her toys!
I tried for about 20 minutes to get a good photo of her little teeth, but she really doesn't sit still. Ever. So this was the best we got!
