Snow Days and Daddy's Home!


January 17
SNOW!!
Trying to make a snowball...not successful!


So we just tromped around the backyard instead!  The snow continued to fall throughout the day and then again the next morning!  


When you can't make a snowball to start the snowman you end up with a very short snowman :) but the snowman kit from Target ($1 steal!!!) fit him quite nicely!


The dogs love the snow!  Browni mostly enjoyed licking, which is normal for her, she licks anything and everything, anywhere at anytime!  Sanford walked around searching for new things to "mark" since the snow covered over his usual places, hee hee :)


Prepping for snowcream!!!

Yes it looks like yellow snow when it's finished!
  This is the most delicious "ice-cream" you'll ever have :) 


Love the snow-covered trees here!


Venturing out to the playground to meet our friends!


I didn't think he would go down the slides...

 ...but I was wrong!


We hadn't figured out a sled yet but Julius was ready to go down anyways!


Lydia enjoyed the snow too!


He wanted to go see the kids down the road sledding, we eventually made the trek!

He was quite excited for our neighbor to take him down the hill!  

We had a blast in the snow and we were so sad Daddy wasn't there to enjoy it with us!  He missed it by just a few days!

January 21
Daddy's HOME!!

Hi Daddy!

Staying up late with Daddy!

Daddy's schedule is all out of whack!



Showing Daddy how Francesco works!


Trying out some baby food in an attempt to get her to sleep at night a little better...she did not enjoy it!  (As of today, March 15, she will eat baby food about every other day, if her mood is right)


A sunny day in February!


Julius loves to read books!  Especially in Mommy and Daddy's bed!

Coming soon: Our Visit to North Carolina!!

January days...

Lydia was ready to start the New Year off right! With eyes wide open!!


Lydia really enjoys anything with a face!


Yep...this was Lydia at 3 months...I know that was in December...


Granny reading books to everyone!


Granny's last evening :(


I told Mom I didn't get a good shot with my camera...there's probably a much better one on her camera but this was literally minutes before we took her to the shuttle bus!  So I had no time to put her pic on my computer.  I won't mention what else we did in those last few minutes that started the unstoppable tears :)


I told you she loves anything with a face!



She also loves to have Julius play near her!  He doesn't mind showing off his car moves either!


Tummy time!


This is what Lydia does while Julius is in the bath...TALK!


All dressed up for Mommy's birthday!


My crazies!

Birthday fun!  Katie ordered yummy cupcakes for us!!  Julius and I loved every last one!  I must make mention that the Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel was my favorite!!


We also enjoyed Pizza Hut Stuffed Crust Pizza!!


Probably wondering where her pizza is?! :)

We opened presents and enjoyed that yummy cupcake!

Christmas 2011

Lydia's first Christmas!  I think she loved her presents but not so much being taken out of bed at 7am!  She's not a morning person!


Before we got Granny and Lydia we took a peek at all of the presents under the tree!  We also talked about opening the presents and Julius was so excited!


Julius chose the first present which was for Lydia so he took it to her to open, her eyes are open but I don't think she was quite that thrilled to be up :)


"Vroom, vrooms!"


There were a lot of presents to open and Julius took turns opening with Granny and Mommy!


A few Hotwheels...have we mentioned how much Julius loves cars!!


The Tonka dump truck came from Santa! 


Sanford is wondering how he's going to get to the door!


Francesco Bernoulli aka San Francisco :)


Granny loved her presents too!


Some really awesome crochet patterns in here!!  

Oooooh!


Showing Lydia her presents as he opens them, he's such a good big brother!


Not sure he really knows they are for her...I think he's just agreeing to let her hold them for him :)


Taking Francesco for a spin!

Following him around while got the hang of it :)

Our Christmas best!

Love their expressions!  

We had a wonderful Christmas!
