Jacob Foster Kilduff!

The little cutie-pie finally arrived!!
We thought for sure Christy would have the little guy several weeks ago when the moon was full...
but he was too comfy in there or something?!

Jacob Foster Kilduff (hope I'm spelling all of that right) was born on Feb 23rd.

He is such a little cutie!!!!
Congrats to the Kilduff family!!

She's a cutie!

Uncle Buck and Cole

We joined everyone for dinner to celebrate Pap's 80th birthday!
I forgot to take in my camera and used my camera on my phone....that's why the resolution isn't the greatest.

I thought these were some pretty cute pics of Cole w/his Uncle Buck!

This is my favorite!

Aunt Cookie, Meme, Aunt Shelly

Crazy Cole and goofy Rylie!

Oakland's Winterfest

We stopped by Oakland today to walk around the Winterfest...we had lots of fun!

Rylie driving a Hummer!

Kids had lots of fun watching this guy carve an apple (?) into a block of ice!

Ice sculpture fun

Rylie's favorite was "Frosty"

Cole liked the train!

They each got a block of ice w/their name carved in it...not sure how to display it at home..but pretty neat!

Ice sliding fun!

Driving into the storm

The other night on my way home from work, I took a picture of this really neat cloud formation...that turned out to be a wintery storm sitting on top of Friendsville, MD. It was pretty neat to drive into.

The sky was so pretty and I had some time to grab an extra picture of this cute church.

Funny man Cole

When I picked up the kids from Curtis on Thursday, I hopped out of the car to tell Curtis something and when I got back in...Cole had found a red marker somewhere (still not sure where he got it from...I don't keep markers in the car)!

He thought it was pretty funny...until he got in trouble!

Water sampling in the snow

We had to go out in the miserable weather on Thursday to collect some water samples...not the first time I've been out on a cold, yucky day...

Standing in some acid mine drainage collecting samples.

Painting fun

Smiley Cole....notice he's playing w/his belly button too! (as always)

Not quite a plummers crack though :)

Feeding the birds

Although it was still below 30 degrees today, we decided to venture outside while the sun was peeking through the clouds. We had really wanted to take the dogs for a hike today, but decided to limit our adventure to our own yard. Maybe we'll get the dogs out next weekend!

After we filled up the feeders, Rylie stood very still waiting for the birds to come down close to her.
