lately...

the snow has been piling up - we got about 10 inches through the course of last week

when it's not warm enough to snow, it's been cold cold cold, as in highs that are below zero

mom and dad came for a visit

Tim and I went on our first date

I finally joined the world of Instagram

bought post-baby jeans at the Gap factory store in town for $12

made sweet and sour pork chops recipe twice from The Family Flavor cookbook

can't get enough of Jack's many smiles and coos 

Jack has been taking 2 hour naps during the day and sleeping 5-6 hours straight at night

listening to the hymns station on Pandora

dreaming about and planning a 2015 road trip to the Southwest (AZ and NM, not MN)

dreaming about warm days and stroller walks around our neighborhood
