not a lot going on so here is a throwback..

We went to Chicago a few weeks ago to hang out and see Wicked....

Justine and I even managed to figure out how to use the "L"...

Brown sweaters and jeans in the hiz-ouse!

turkey invasion

My dad just texted me these photos with the caption

"turkeys in our yard at lunch"

now technically this is the empty lot next to our house...but either way, you better watch out mom and dad...they appear to be planning an invasion...

maybe set a box of stuffing mix on the porch as a warning or something...

Ahhh..the magic dice. This is how I make all my decisions.

seriously...it works.

Ice skating in Chicago....

Wordizzle from Baby J: I'm trashy..

Um...excuse me...I'm in the trash.

Hey, guys..pardon me...but..uh...I'm in the trash...

Here's to having the easiest birthday to remember...ever...

We are ecstatic to welcome to the world our new nephew, Ian Alan Michael Richardson!!!


We are so bummed that we have to wait until JUNE to meet you! :(

gotta start somewhere....

I guess six inches is a good start....AND IT'S STILL SNOWING!!

We literally have the perfect evening planned --- sledding and skiing in the yard, to be followed by roast, carrots and potatoes, to be enjoyed in front of a nice fire in our fireplace..

I LOVE SNOW!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS WHAT WINTER IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE....

This is easily the most fun way to eat a family dinner!
