Fun "In" and "Out" of the Snow

We just had a snowstorm a few days ago. Andrew thought Ashton might enjoy going out in the snow. So, he preceded to get him all bundled up. Talk about "The Christmas Story".....Ashton looked hilarious. He had on a snow suit, his clunky snow boots, and a big old snow jacket that was huge on him! His walking was quite slow and awkward. At one point, he fell down and couldn't get himself back up. He would push himself up halfway and then fall back down. And he kept trying, all the while thinking he must be doing something right because we were laughing at him. It was so humorous to watch.

Later on that day, Andrew was getting quite restless, so he decided to make an Indian costume for Ashton. Yes.....things get a bit weird out here on the range when we're all couped up. :)


Caedmon had his first helping of "solids" a few days ago. It took him quite awhile to get the hang of it. But by the last couple of bites he was starting to get it. I think he ended up with more of it "on" him than "in" him.

Caedmon, Ashton, and I (Renee) have all come down with a cold, so that's been no fun. Andrew has done great taking care of us, though. If anyone has any great home remedies for getting congestion out of the lungs of a 4-month old, I would love the tips!
