Frequent Sights

Here are some glimpses into what day to day life looks like here in the Tongen household this January and February. These photos are not in chronological order, but if you need to know, you can date the picture by how much hair our balding, little Paul has!

Micah loves to "play" his guitar for Paul, which I think Paul prefers to the drumming, although Paul fell asleep during music class a couple of weeks ago as soon as the children began to play the drums!

Did someone say "sleep?" A tired Paul sucks his thumb.

Anthony often comes home to this sight: Storytime in front of the fire! Do you notice the focus of our youngest genius reader?

One of my (Megan's) favorite parts of our home is being able to wash dishes while seeing such sweet sights in the sunroom, especially when Grandma Bev and Brer Fox read stories!

Getting this beautiful, bouncing, balding, babbling, baby boy out of bed is beyond belief! (Do you see what happens to your speech when you are teaching a child about the sound letters make?)

You may not have realized that your Super Bowl party was not complete without two Spidermen cheering for a touchdown!

Lesson #5,793 in parenting: When you have a relatively warm day in January, don't expect to have a very long hike up in the mountains with boys who opted for wrestling in the snow. Peyton's got Noah and Micah, while Drew has Ben.

This was another day of snowy fun with the Millers. Micah and Noah seem to like to trade brothers as often as possible. I'm sorry that I forgot my camera to show you how courageous and tough Micah was his first time sledding. He must have walked up the hill 15 times, including a couple of times going by himself and taking some tumbles in the snow!
