Everybody look at the camera AND smile... at the same time.

We got to hang out with some great friends from far away last weekend. It was such fun! There was a surprise party for Timothy's birthday, TONS of snow, wonderful food, skeet shooting, and lots of funny banter. Cannon loved all the excitement, people, and attention. And even though the photo below makes it look that way, we did not let him go shooting. :)

Shotgun in one hand, baby in the other. Nice.

P.S. I really will post some house photos soon. We're mostly settled in and had it pretty clean and organized... and then the pipes froze and burst when it was -20 on Sunday night. Timothy has been working an Outward Bound course all week (read: not home at all) and I know nothing about plumbing, so they're not fixed yet. That means we haven't washed a single dish or done a lick of laundry in four days! The kitchen isn't lookin' so nice right now. :) On the upside, the lack of shower facilities at home forced Cannon and I to finally take a trip to the local pool. He loved it! He loved jumping off the side (without going under), riding on top of two kick boards while I kicked some laps, and just swirling around in the water. Most of all I think he liked watching the big kids play ball and make big splashes.
