Winter Wonderland

This last weekend we had the first real snow of the year around here.  We were all surprised as snow was in the forecast but it was not supposed to stick...but stick it did!  And, it was the BEST kind of snow to have snowball fights and build snowmen!







Katey was spending the night with a friend, but Seth and Mike and I all went out to play (even Belle joined us for a bit and she LOVED the snow...but got pretty cold pretty quick as she has just had a fur-cut recently).  Seth immediately worked on making the biggest snowball possible to throw at his parents.  Several times he would pick up the giant ball, get ready to throw, and we would laugh as the snowball exploded all over him.  The true mark of a Southern boy - he didn't know to pack that snow well!

Seth and Mike even build a little snow fort - but apparently Seth destroyed it before I could get a picture.  I headed in long before Seth - we had to make him come back inside long after dark.  Sure is fun to play in the snow! 

The best part about this winter precipitation?  We had about 2 inches come down on Saturday evening and by Sunday around lunch time it was almost all melted!  But, it sure was beautiful and a lot of fun while it lasted!

Sister!

For years Katey has been pleading for a sister. Last week she got a taste of what it would be like to have a little sister! For the most part she was pleased...except when Aubrey touched her stuff or didn't do what Katey wanted...

My wonderful sister and her husband celebrated their 10th anniversary by going on a cruise and we had the privilege of spending the week with their 2 1/2 year old, Aubrey. As luck would have it, the kids had 4 days worth of snow cancellations at school that week so I had lots of help with Aubrey and they got lots of play time in.

I didn't get many pictures from the eventful week, but I did get some very important ones! One of the highlights for Aubrey of being at Aunt Jeni and Uncle Mike's house is playing the never-gets-old game of fall over in the kid chair. All 3 kids thought that was super fun and insisted on pictures. Cutie patooties!!


Aubrey was a wonderful guest to have and slept through the night...most nights. We all miss her and can still hear her little voice saying, "I want you hold me" or "Dere we Gooooooo!" So very glad we had this opportunity to spend concentrated time together!
