Maeve vs. Xavier as Rebekah looks on
This is how we settle sibling rivalry around here!  

Maeve is extremely excited to be the newest, and littlest fencer in the family.  She shows no fear of attack, and isn't afraid to be the attacker.  Xavier is a very measured and calculating fencer, always watching for the best moment to strike his opponent and score the winning point.  Rebekah is all about the rules and the form.  She's getting really good at her footwork and doesn't seem to mind being the tallest fencer in the bunch.  Tall and small, and in between, we love and fence them all!  Engarde!

The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
