The Dead of Winter (January, 2007)

We are officially in the dead of winter. If anyone has been to Pittsburgh in the winter, they know that it is freezing cold and we usually go at least 30 days without seeing the sun (usually the entire month of February). Snow doesn't really accumulate, so we mostly try to stay indoors. It's always a challenge for Eliza to keep the kids occupied and happy when they can't be outdoors. Being indoors allows for a lot of opportunities to take good pictures though:


Ryder loves to share Sawyer's sippy cup with her.


Sawyer loves her Leap Pad. She likes to play the games in her princess book.


Sawyer is also into painting.


Here, Ryder gives you his best "male modeling" pose. We call this look "Ryder-licious."


Sawyer thinks Ryder shouldn't be pretending to be a male model.
