Stef reading to the kids, before she goes.. (sad day) |

Sick Elliott, kept company by his furriest fan |

Lorelei tries to cheer him up by .. brushing his feet? |

Elliott demonstrating a cool "make a rainbow" craft he learned at school (milk +
food coloring - for extra fun, add a drop of dish soap at the end) |

drip drip drip.. |

a nest Elliott made for some of his animals |

Yay! (I had not a single inch of extra yarn left, phew!) |

Lorelei insisting that she can't make it up the stairs, after arguing with me for
10 minutes at the bottom of the driveway about how she was NOT too tired and
cold, and wanted to keep sledding |

Lorelei lasts for a few minutes, then talks Grandma into going in, for cocoa and
books |

the girls head in |

Elliott's wound, after 10 days (stitches out) - I'm not impressed. he took
excellent care of it, but it seems like the stitches didn't really do anything |

showing me his battle scar (note to self: running with scissors counts, even if
you're just running to get a tissue) |

Lorelei the cat, or is it dog? Muffy? or maybe a bunny? ahhhhh!! |

sledding party |

cocoa break |

Mike and Elliott head down |

the fire, after having snow dumped on it, steams from within |

after a nice good run |

who needs a sled? this boy needs to try downhill skiing (stay tuned!) |

the end of a good day |
