Lately....

Well January (and February) snuck past us here in the Schmelzer house. 

Here's a quick update...

January started pretty cold. Like record cold. 

Most of our days are spent cuddled in the house. Gabe has become a huge fan of Daniel Tiger, so every once is a while he gets to curl up on the couch, eat some fruit loops and watch some good ol IPTV. 

On one of those super cold days in January we welcomed Mr. Jacob James to the family! And he is perfect!

While Aunt Molly and Tim were at the hospital, there was lots of time for cousin lovin! Not a bad way to spend a cold day off from schools :)

 We also got to watch the big kids (aka Ellie) have basketball practice. Gabe thought that was pretty awesome!

 And then there's this creature.

Gabe got to check "Go to see College GameDay LIVE" from his bucket list. We spent the morning in Ames and may have appeared on tv for .002 seconds :)

 Cold mornings at our house have been pretty rough.

But nothing some cookies and bananas can't make better.

We welcomed February with a foot of snow...

meaning lots and lots of cuddle time.

Time flies when your snugglin' this guy :) 

We'll see ya in Spring!

Just kidding. well maybe....
