How much is that doggy in the window?

This past weekend we got to dog-sit. We had the service dog from Russ' office Friday through Monday morning. We think we need a dog now...

Nate could not get enough of Aria. She was such a good sport!

Camille traded beds with Nate one night so that she could sleep with the dog.

I think you can tell what Nate thought of sleeping on the top bunk.

This is my ode to Josh Brolin in Goonies.

Putting shelves up in the garage with Grandpa.

Two more teeth lost in the month of January. The total is now 7 for the 6 year old.

Rain, rain, go away

The kids and I took a drive this morning to gawk at the flooding in our area. The pictures just don't do it any justice.

This is the view from my kids' window. Normally, all we see is fields.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

At first we welcomed the uncharacteristically winter weather.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful

Now we're ready for the rain to return...

No, Santa did not make an early visit- the snow covered my wellies.

Merry Christmas from the Browns!

Christmas Tree

Listen to this Perry family-we drove all the way to a tree farm (15 minutes from our house) and chose a tree in probably as many minutes. Even the rain didn't bother us. I have inherited a few qualities from my mom, but being picky about a tree is not one of them.

Unfortunately, this shot does not show the beautiful green bump on Nate's forehead- his souvenir from Thanksgiving.

Camille was posing like this all night. What are they teaching her at school?!

Happy Birthday Camille!
