January Snow in Spokane

When we arrived home from our Seattle vacation, we came back to about a foot of snow! It was pretty cold as well (in the teens) so all the snow stayed on the trees....it was beautiful! One day we took Blake out in it. He liked it for a while but he didn't last long. I think his hands got cold and he was pretty fussy that day. Here are a few pictures while he was still enjoying himself.

Christmas Vacation

Over Christmas we spent about two weeks in Seattle at my (Ellie's) parents house. As always, my parents were incredibly helpful with Blake and allowed us to catch up on some sleep and spend some time relaxing. Jake and Lindsey were up from San Diego and we spent Christmas Eve together. Matt and I were even able to go on a date....imagine that! We tried a nice little Thai food restaurant in Old Bellevue and then went to the new Narnia movie in 3D. Here are some pictures from the vacation.

Once Blake opened the lego set, he didn't want to open any more presents!

Opening the growth chart that Jake painted for Blake. It was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!





Grandpa showing Blake his computer game.....enjoy the moment Blake because I don't think I'll be letting you play these....too violent!

"This is what God the Lord says - he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it: I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. Isaiah 42:5-7
