Brothers

A video of Michael and Baby Samuel this morning, talking and cuddling...

Video Debut of Baby Samuel!

So, I may be reviving this blog for video's sake! Not all my family uses facebook, and I can't attach videos to email the same way I can pictures. So, until I figure out something better, I will be uploading videos here. Some will be old (most of them probably- I have a lot of catching up to do!) and some new. I hope you enjoy this one I took last week of Sam! Love, Eva

End of the Blog...

So, since I mostly use this blog for pictures and there are now more efficient ways of sharing pictures, I'm declaring this blog obsolete! From now on we'll be sharing pictures through facebook, so if you're not a member yet, join and add us as your friends. It's a great, easy way to stay in touch. Otherwise, I'll still send out occasional emails with the a link to an album online.
Hope 2009 is treating you well!

Love,
Cheva :)

February

This month we've been working hard. We spent some time organizing our food storage. It was fun seeing the kids help. They both love being part of projects and insist they're way is the right way. I have no idea where they got that from.


Then Michael began finding places to store Sophia's dolls...
I don't think she cared. She was too busy playing what she refers to as "my guitar."
She likes to strum it and pluck it with Michael's toothbrush.

Besides that, not much happening here. I guess you can say we're hibernating. The days are still passing fast as ever, since we're working and resting so much, and waiting for Spring. Hope life finds you well and happy! Love, The Barnetts

Critters, Cookies and Colds...

Life has been busy here. We've been fighting colds for a week and hope they will go away! Meanwhile, Chad has stayed healthy, allowing him to stay busy with work. The kids are their usual selves with about half their usual energy, so that's been nice. :)

We decorated cookies one day and Michael really enjoyed that. He did his sprinkles all by himself. Sophia is still interested in animals and really liked holding some bugs we found in our house. She carried it around for probably 20 minutes, letting it walk on her shoulder even, until it fell off. She's brave. Hope you enjoyed these recent pics! Stay Warm! Love, The Barnetts

Sophia Style

Here is Sophia being a sea turtle. She is very "into" sea turtles right now and is quick to point them out in stories, cartoons and playground equipment. :)

She is also into making "Animal Parades!" She must be an Anderson girl at heart!

Bags and Blocks

It cracks me up how things change so quickly. A couple months ago I couldn't get Sophia in a picture and now she wants to pose for the camera. She's into more and more "girly" things everyday. I love it.
She's even helping Topaz accessorize.
Tonight we played with blocks after Family Home Evening. Michael takes building very seriously. We may have another engineer in the making...

Till next time, stay warm and happy! Love, The Barnetts
