OK, I know that it seems like I'm out of breath chasing Leighton on this. But it wasn't the chasing but the laughing at her that had me panting. Enjoy !
A typical, lazy Saturday morning. My favorite time of the whole week.
I love my kids right out of the bathtub in their warm robes and smelling great(Ellis is taking pictures on her Daddy's Blackberry)
Ellis wearing her Daddy's hat.
Leighton and her Grandma.
Leighton enjoying a lollipop. Love those big baby blue eyes & messy curls.
The first thing Ellis & Leight do when they get home each day is strip down or change into dress-up clothes. Or a little of both. And Leight is always dirty. She loves to put on Ellis shoes and socks by herself.
Here's the "little of both" look.
Leight "sharing" some frosting with Daddy.
Big, blonde head of curls.
Ellis stuffing the Valentine's Day boxes at the Preschool Valentine's Day party.
Ellis & her BFF Addi having a snack at the party.
Ellis' showing off the craft she made at the party--a bookmark.

Our Valentine's Day card/treat we made for the Preschool & Daycare kids
(note to self: next year consider buying them and save yourself a TON of work!)
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!

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!
