My Favorite Things

Last night while watching football I saw a commercial for Cadillac where the girl talks about her favorite things, Cadillacs being one of them. Her list vastly differed from mine so it got me thinking about my favorite things....

Lilacs
The first signs of spring
Sleeping in sheets dried on the clothesline
Family
Reading
EVERYTHING about my babies - yes, even changing diapers
Watching the Vikes
Board games
Waterskiing, swimming, laying on the beach
Snow days
Thanksgiving dinner
A Christmas tree all lit up
A letter in the mail
My Mom's cooking
Watching a movie with popcorn
Thunderstorms
An Indian summer day / fall colors
Puppies and kittens
A nap (hmmm.....I must have just had a baby!)

Well, that's about it. I'd love to hear a list of your favorite things... Have a great Sunday! Love, Jean

Here Comes The Bride?

Olivia is way too young to get married (we're hoping she'll wait another 25 - 30 years) but she had fun dressing up as a bride yesterday at a friends. The girl talks about getting married all the time! She used to say she was going to marry Jesus when she grows up but then changed it to Cody and lately it has been her Uncle Ryan.
You wouldn't know it by looking at this picture of Joseph, but he actually loves his car seat. In fact, he falls asleep in it the minute we put him in it!

Joseph is 10 weeks old

Joseph had his 2 month check-up on Thursday, the day he turned 10 weeks old. He is a whopping 13 lbs. 4 oz. already and is 24 3/4 inches long. Olivia just loves her baby brother. I have to keep an eye on her constantly though as she tends to mother him! Joseph's right tear duct is clogged so we got some drops for that. Hopefully it will clear up on its own in the next few months.

The Loehleins Love Brownies

Rich made brownies tonight after supper. Can you guess who got to lick the bowl? (The Christmas cookies are about gone! - I think they're all on my hips!)

Rich found the honey hole!

Rich and his friend, Dan, went out spearing again yesterday afternoon. He speared this large northern - it's bigger than the one he speared the other day. Dan also speared a few nice ones so they figure they have their houses on a good spot.

A New Do for the New Year?

Joseph is finally growing some hair! Maybe he is going to be a red head..... Actually, he is starting to get some blonde fuzz on the top of his head - maybe he won't have to do a comb over after all!

Happy New Year everyone!
