JaNuaRy: We made a smiling snowman, had a lovely visit from Scott's parents, endured some strange virus where Cam was swollen and covered with hives, lunch with Erin & Shayne, seeing Brent & Emily's new house, and last but not least Ally's baptism...

FeBRuaRy: photo op with the little boys, sledding on the hill--I got to join them this time and it was mucho fun, Cameron again falling asleep in random places and Garrett in the cutest little sling after he took a nose dive off the high chair and broke his clavicle

MaRCH: it was about time for a new haircut...
