Winter has come....I think

We actually had a chance to experience winter for a few days and the boys got get all their winter gear on. It takes about 20 minutes to get them all dressed, they stay outside for about 20 minutes, then it takes another 20 minutes to get them undressed and warmed up again!

Our "puppy" Quinn

Quinn likes to pretend that he is either a puppy or kitty usually at least one time a time. He likes to think that he can take over Bella's bed when he is in "puppy" mode. She doesn't think this is too cool....

WInter in MN???

Laura came out to have some fun with the boys one afternoon.

The weather has been absolutely AMAZING so far this January. We have been in the 40's and 50's consistently for the last few weeks and have almost NO SNOW on the ground. We purchased a Rainbow Play System and they were able to install in during the 1st week of January. The boys have been able to get plenty of outside playtime with the weather being so beautiful lately. We know this probably won't continue, but we will enjoy it while it does!

Making Progress - Quinn at PT

Quinn attends physical therapy 2 days a week at Gillette Childrens. We have been recently working on his gait (walking) pattern. He uses a walker to help him get around when he gets fatigued and works out on the treadmill to help him gain some strength. We are so thankful to have such a wonderful physical therapist!!

Merry Christmas

Bella got a new winter jacket - she loved it!

Santa came!

Happy boys!

We wish all our family and friends a Merry Christmas. May you find peace and joy!

Benjamin is 4!

The Big Birthday Boy!

Benjamin turned 4 on December 18! He had a baseball-themed birthday party and LOVED every minute of it. We had lots of family and some friends come to celebrate. I can't believe he is already 4, everyone told me how fast time would pass. He is becoming a sweet, loving, active little boy and there are still times that I wish I could freeze time and never let him grow-up. We love you Ben!!!

A Beatty Family Christmas

All the kids getting ready for Santa!

Ben isn't so afraid of Santa anymore, I think he realizes that the man bears gifts!

The best present I could ask for!

We had our annual Beatty Family Christmas party the weekend before Christmas. A big thanks to Chad and Cyndi for hosting it again this year. Great food, a visit from Santa, and all our favorite relatives makes for a great night!
