Who is that masked man?

John took Jonah for a spin on the snow mobile around Colwater Lake. It would have been more fun if the wind chill would not have been so frigid. I think Jonah prefers the jet-ski!

The Annual Pokagon Weekend

The Mann/Reichert families have been going to the Potowatomi Inn in the Pokagon State Park for over 32 years. We have been going the same weekend every year and we pretty much have the same agenda each year too. This is something that we all look forward to every winter and it is something to turn the dull days of winter into a fun filled weekend. This was Jonah's 3rd trip and for him and he had a wonderful time.

Fun Times

Jonah had a great time swimming, coloring, playing games, going to the nature center, playing in the snow, etc. This year he was able to get involved with more activities and he had a great time.

Mann/Reichert Game Night

Riley was very generous with her games. She and Jonah had so much fun together, they are now actually old enough to interact, it was so cute!

Swimming in January

Jonah and Madeline spent what seemed like hours swimming in the pool at the Potowatomi Inn. It is pretty funny swimming past the windows and seein all of the snow while you are in the water.

Sledding Fun!

We are lucky enough to have a sledding hill across the street. Jonah, Alex and Ben were happy to try it out!

James Meade Learning Center

Jonah has been a part of JMLC since he was 12 onths old and they have taken such great care of him. Ms. Violet was the first person outside of the family to care for him and she has taken the role of Jonah's 3rd Grandmother. She retired this year and we are very sad to see her go. With her help I was able to learn to trust others to care for my most precious gift...Jonah!

Here is Jonah with some of his "classmates". I don't know what Jonah is thinking while looking at Sarah but it is priceless.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!

I took this picture on the morning of the 1st. It is adorable seing him wear John's hat.

CHEERS!!

Auntie Loris and Uncle Matt spent the night for New Years Eve. We had a great time visiting and Jonah loved playing hide and go seek with Uncle Matt. Auntie Lori and Jonah helped to "christen" the bar..."CHEERS!" (with his juice box in hand)
