Missing you

Hey buddy!

Just wanted to drop you and your Mom a line to let you know I miss you guys a bunch. Can't wait to see you tonight again!

It sure feels like a long time. People said (and even I thought a little bit) that having you guys away would catch me up on rest, have me get out and have some fun with friends I have not seen in a while, etc.

They (and I) were wrong....................I slept poorly and missed the company of the two best people in the world.

Hurry home and get here safely. I don't want to go another day without seeing you smile!

Love you!

Dad

Part 2

The next few days were spent visiting with family and friends....
 A few of the cousins.......OK best described as Great Grand Children
 Eating with Pa...
Mason and Cole
 Playing in cornstarch and water.
 Cole really liked it!
 Getting into trouble...
 This is my girlfriend Megan.  It was really nice to see her and meet her little man Cole before they had to go back home!

A few days later we went to visit some more family and go sled riding at my Aunt Alyce's farm.









Granny really tearing up the snow!!!!
 Part of the Farm.
 Feeding the cows.....

Looking for eggs in the chicken coop...Found ONE!
 Feeding some more cows.
 Climbing on the tractor.
 Turning on the blinkers.
Climbing in the hay barn.

Thanks to all the family that we saw over the course of a few days.  We saw a few more Aunts, Uncles and Cousin's of mine but I forgot to take pictures!  Mason has really enjoyed spending time with all these "new" people and has done quite well with getting right in there and playing with them all.  

I have some more fun things to share but of course Mason is napping right now where the camera and the cord are so this is all for now......

Visiting Granny and Pa Pt1

Just a few short days after Christmas Mason and I packed up and headed to Granny and Pa's house.  Mason did great on the plane and has been having a blast ever since.  Our plane landed without our car seat, but the airline had one that they lent us until ours made it.  After a short car ride home Mason was ready to PLAY!  We had a great first night and went to bed early so that we were ready for the next days BIG plan.

 First we looked at Christmas trees...
 Then smelled some flowers....

 Watched the birds fly around.....
 Played in the waterfall.....
 Looked at some gingerbread houses....
 Played on a slide.....
 AND got to ride on a Choo Choo Train!!!!!
 First time around....



 MORE, MORE, MORE....Please

In the middle car......

 In the caboose......
After the 8th time we finally convinced Mason that it was time to play with some trains inside...

We had a very nice time at GLOW.  It was fun to walk around and see all the decorated Christmas trees and gingerbread houses.  We had fun playing in the gardens and looking at the butterflies as well.  Thanks to Granny and Pa for taking us to such a fun place!

Once we got home we had some MORE fun...
 Yep a bucket full of SNOW in the house!
 "Granny.....It's COLD!"
 A BALL!?!?!?
 "Can I throw it?"....

 "YES!" MORE please!

 It is fun just to sit and watch!.....
 Sledding down the hill....
