Somebody is in love with money. We started allowance this fall (which blissfully eliminated the begging for everything at the store), and now someone collects coins constantly wherever he can find or pilfer them (with permission, of course). Now learning to count all those coins...everyday...sometimes more than once. :)

Grandpa stopped by and helped Josiah with his tennis homework. Yep, I said tennis homework. Who would have thought?

So fun to watch these two play together like old friends. 

Bonus pix:

Typical morning: Jim not quite awake, and Josiah thrilled to have Dad up.

Group hug!

Racehorse and trash talk. 

These two are amazing! They took the boys while Jill and I made an Albertville run. We came home to the boys in bed and these two at the table. Ended the night with our feet up, a glass of wine, and chatting late into the night. Again...seriously...why haven't we visited before???

Family road trip! On our way to see our friends Joe, Jill, & Eli in Sartell. They have lived there for like 2 years and we are just visiting now? What's wrong with us?!

Latest mommy sewing project = fabric ABCs. Super simple. Curves are a pain to sew around. Josiah thinks they are the greatest things ever! Can't wait to practice spelling and reading with him!

Enjoying a blizzard before the actual blizzard with my feet up and a little Harry on Idol. Snow day tomorrow!
