Puppy Love

I'm so glad the kids are moving past their fear of Cole and bonding with him! Lindsey is still timid around him and only stayed by him long enough to get a picture with him, but we're making progress! Obviously Livi has no fear! 

One day Cooper was laying on Cole and said, "I always wanted you to be a pillow!" 

We've had some nasty cold and wet days. Our entire back yard was ice after a bad ice storm. It was so weird! The ice was so thick on the van and the front porch looked like it was covered in snow or hail, but when we touched it, it was frozen ice balls all stuck together.

When it rains here, it pours, and the ground is wet for days after. We were sick of the kids always wanting to play outside, but ruining their shoes in the wet mud, so we finally got them some rain boots. They had a blast splashing the puddles!
