More snow!

We had fun in the snow this morning and built our first snowman. Here's the proof!

22 Months

It's hard to believe that we are almost to the point of counting in years instead of months... so happy 22-months, Caroline! She is turning into such a big girl. I can't even count how many words she says now... she's moved onto sentences (very basic ones, obviously, but sentences no less). My favorite things that she does now are singing the alphabet, counting to 10 and when she takes a tumble she says "what happened?!" She's also become a lot more daring when it comes to climbing and running. I took her to an indoor playground in Mason called the Go Play Cafe (about 30 minutes away) with her little friend, Sanjay, and his mom on Tuesday since we've had such nasty wet weather all week. They have this 3 story set up of tubes and slides and climbing equipment big enough for adults to climb in too

- so we did, and she had a ball. I had to drag her out of there after two hours.

Otherwise, we've just been preparing for the holidays and trying to stay out of the cold, wet weather. We're supposed to get a pretty big snow this weekend so I know she'll have fun playing in that again. And this time I'm prepared.... we've got a snow suit, so hopefully we can last a little longer outside this time!

Snow Day!

We had our first snow of the winter overnight and woke up to a little over an inch of very wet snow... and it's still coming down a bit. Caroline had lots of fun exploring in our back yard with Maggie. There was one minor topple that ended in a complete face plant in the snow (which surprised her, but didn't seem to upset her at all). We made a tiny snowman on top of our table and I had to drag her back in the house when I started to get cold and thought that she might be too. The city was prepared for it though and it doesn't seem to slow anyone down around here (except me - I've declared us home bound for the day because I'm still afraid to drive in it).
