Ellis started ballet lessons last week. She lives in a tutu and ballet shoes so we knew
it was time. She's really enjoying her classes but is having a little trouble understanding
that to actually learn ballet, you have to stay with the class and not skip around the room
doing pirouettes!
















Darren was able to dig out a tunnel for Ellis in our driveway the snow was so high.




The view out my office window at Meredith Corporation of downtown Des Moines.


This was taken about a month ago at one of our last big snows.
We actually got more snow after this :(

I'm happy to report that the snow (for now) has melted in our yard and most everywhere. Please Mother Nature, we deserve a break. No more snow!





Our Girls

Our little girls are growing and changing!

Ellis looks so old here. It's hard to believe she's nearly 4. She picked out her own outfit today. Pink tights, purple dance skirt and her green Irish t-shirt. I guess she's gearing up for St. Patty's Day a wee bit early!
Leighton—always looks mischievious (and usually for a reason). We have no idea what to do with her crazy curly hair. She's such a fun kid!

Thank you for the great pics, Julie!
