Beating the Winter Blahs

It's been a rough winter in Chitown aka 'ChIberia', the season started earlier than usual and we've had lots of days w/ below zero temps.  We've been trying to get out of the house as much as possible - especially w Megan on maternity leave - we' ve managed to get to the Aquarium and Little Beans Cafe.  Mallory's been busy w/ Lil Kickers Soccer, swimming & Music class.



Darcy's growing more and more every day - she's a happy little girl who loves smiling and cuddles.

Holidays 2013

The Melsons headed to Indy this year for Christmas.  Was a special holiday since it was Darcy's first Christmas.  Darcy loved being held by all her aunts/uncles/cousins & of course Mimi at her birthday party.  We're pretty sure she had her first real smile on Christmas Eve.  Mallory was a bit warmer to Santa this year and is beginning to appreciate the holiday season - Rudolph & Frosty movies were popular this year.   

Was also Finley's first Christmas!


Santa brought Mallory a brand new tricycle - will be awhile before we get to take it outside but Mallory loved cruising around the living room.  She also loved her new rain boots - she didn't want to take them off!



Darcy loved meeting her Mimi
