January 30

Well hello, 65 degrees in January! I'm happy to see you!
It was a good day, starting with breakfast.
Caleb is in a slow-eating phase right now. We've started keeping a timer on the kitchen table; when everyone else is finished, we ask him how much longer he would like and then set the timer for that amount of time. When it goes off, we're done. Funny, isn't it, that a kid will argue with his parents til the cows come home, but he takes a timer's beep as the end?

Daisy and I were long finished with breakfast, so I let her scoot around while Caleb ate. This is where she ended up. Eventually she found Caleb's feet and started patting them.

Then she found the newspaper, which I had haphazardly tossed on the floor for some reason. 
The girl is an avid reader. Not so interested in the ads; more interested in the sports page.

She might also be shopping for a new car.

After perusing the paper, she was off - she started scooting down the hallway.

Later, playing, reading, singing, dancing, naps, and then - finally - outside time!

Daisy was so happy to scoot around on our giant deck!

Caleb ran around singing.

The kids played while I cooked my very first pheasant. And you know what? It turned out alright!

Daisy's funny little face here reminds me of our nearly-two-year-old friend, Michael. He's the master of faces like this.

As we ate our pheasant at our normal dinner time, I noticed that finally, FINALLY, there was still a hint of light in the sky. That, plus this amazing weather, was just the reminder that the dark, dreary days of winter don't last forever. Hooray!
