Snow, finally!

After last winter in New York I was ok that we hadn't gotten ANY snow yet this winter, but last night we finally got some. We woke up this morning to a winter wonderland. Cala could not wait to go outside and play! After shoveling the driveway we went sledding in the front yard and had a great time.

Look carefully and you'll see that Ethan is still wearing Cala's flowered snow pants from when she was his age and he also has her disney princess snow boots on... poor little guy but at least he has a boy coat!

Visitors

Last weekend one of my best friends came to visit with her family while her husband interviewed at a nearby hospital. It was so good to see all of them! The kids played and we talked and talked. Those couple days went by way too fast!

The last time I saw Millie she was about 3 days old and now she's a little girl! This was Ethan's first time meeting her and he was smitten. He just stared and stared.

Cala and Georgia picked up right where they left off. They danced, played barbies, played babies, laughed, and danced some more. Sadly, these are the only pictures I have of them together, probably because I couldn't get them to sit still long enough :)

One of the nights they were here we all went swimming at their hotel. The kids loved it!

I miss you Tiana! I'm hoping that in about four months I'll be helping you move in and we'll be living close to each other again!

Warm bubbles

For the last few winters we have lived in New York in very old, drafty apartments. The winters were cold and heating was expensive. Needless to say we were almost always cold even with layers on. The house we live in now has a wood stove and I am in love with it! Once we get the fire blazing it keeps the house nice and warm, almost too warm, but I'm not complaining about that!

We also have a jetted tub which makes for some amazing bubble baths. That is Ethan's new smile, it looks like he's in pain but he's actually smiling.

Here's Cala showing off her bubble art work.
