Mormor comes to help when Nadja is going to have Ty. When Laney was born I went into labor the night that my parents came to Salt Lake. This time I went into labor 3 days later. It was perfect so that Laney had time to get to know my mom again so she wouldn't be sad when we went to the hospital and she had to stay with my mom.

Laney and Ben are lying under the dinner table and counting some money that Laney found in her pocket.
Laney has been sick for the last couple of days and wanted to watch Dora ALL the time. Here she is snuggling up in her little chair in front of the TV.
Laney has always been scared of animals but lately she's getting more brave. There's a cat that always runs around by our house and she LOVES it. She chases it around and wants to feed it all kinds of things all the time.
The one side of our house was all icicles. It was hard to get them all in the picture. But they were really big and one of them went about halfway down to the ground.
Laney built a little snowman. But the snow is not very good to make snowmen with but it sure is good for skiing.
Laney and I had to shovel all the snow since Ben had just had his surgery.
On day in February it snowed all day and all night and this is what we woke up to.....about 15 inches of snow.
Laney is my helper. Here she's helping with the dishes.
Laney wanted to borrow Mama's hat and gloves. She put them on all by herself.
Laney is watching her new favorite show - Dora the Explorer.
We made bubbles in the sink and Laney loves playing with them. Notice Laney's hair. She wanted it that way.

Laney helped decorate the christmas tree. She did a really good job but she wanted to eat all the candy canes instead of put them on the tree.
Ben and Laney made a little snowman with the first snow of the season.
