Martin Family Weekend

This past weekend, the Martin family (12 of us now!) set out for the cabin near Raystown Lake, in the middle of a snowfall. It was gorgeous on Saturday morning to look out the windows and see the fresh blanket of snow that had came down over night. The brothers did what guys do out in the woods, shooting holes in homemade targets (cardboard boxes) and the rest of us stayed inside playing games or reading books. Malakai had a tough weekend as his routine was upset which made him extremely fussy and not so much fun to be around. He is beginning to really test Mommy and Daddy to see if we'll be consistent with our requirements of him, such as swallowing what we put in his mouth, etc. LORD, give me a love I've never known for my little boy as he turns into a toddler! Each day is a new adventure in parenting, that's for sure. Here's a few pictures from our weekend together.
