Winter Fun

After the big birthday party we haven't had too much going. This winter Ben and Elise took a Music Together class on Saturday mornings. Otherwise we've been in our usual routine and just waiting for spring to arrive. We've also been working on a new project - Ben's new bedroom. Pictures of that coming soon! Until then, here are a few pictures of recent happenings in the Fritsche household.

Listening to Miss Reeve sing a lullaby. This is usually the part of the class where Ben breaks into tears. For some reason the lullaby and good-bye songs really had an effect on him. On this particular day he managed his emotions a little better.

Chris Stormer and Josh Habegger came to town for business and paid us a visit. Chris even read a Thomas book to Ben and they became fast friends.

Jackson came for the Academy Awards and Amy came to play trains. Oops, I got that mixed up - it was the other way around.
On March 1st Charlotte got around 6" of snow, which was quite a surprise! It didn't last very long, but it was really pretty coming down. We continued with our grilling plans even though the conditions weren't the best. Jeff braved the snow for us.
The next morning Ben did some "sledding" on our makeshift sled - a plastic Crate & Barrel bag.

Reading some books with Grandpa.
