Eating snow together. I put his gloves on about 10 times - but he always figured out how to get one hand free so he can eat snow like Lucie.We loved outside today. I was so excited to see the sun shining this morning. Lucie and Sam and I went out earlier - before lunch and played a little bit. Sadly, after only 15 short minutes the bean decided he had enough. It's hard to enjoy a walk or a ... read more
taste the rainbow
Two great things came in the mail today. First is my check from ebates!! Hooray. It's for 20.51. All just for buying things that I was going to buy anyway. Some of my friends have gotten 50 at once! It's the best ever. You get paid for buying things online from certain stores if you go to ebates first (over 1200 stores - including ebay). It is the easiest 20 bucks I've ever made. You ... read more

haircut
The bird wanted to go outside and see how deep the snow was this morning!Deeper than it even looks here since she doesn't sink all the way to the bottom. Lucky!Well, Lucie's hair has been out of control lately. I do love it so, but the time has come. She cries when I wash it, brush it or put it in a pony tail. She runs screaming when she sees that I have a barrette or hair band. I do manage ... read more
snow day
We had another snow day here. So much fun. I am not sure how many inches - but I heard it was 9, on top of the first 6. So, pretty snowy!! In fact, it was almost too deep to actually sled. We did try though, and it was just OK. Then we tried to make a snow man, but that didn't work either. Not packing snow. My brother-in-law made a snow fort and I was jealous, so I decided we needed ... read more
a road trip and a birthday party
Kevin is practicing being creepy for the party. Sam and Luc look a lot alike! So cute. We just got back from a fun little mini-break. The fam and I drove to Chattanooga to visit some of my friends from college. They have two kids as well - so it was super fun... and crazy. We went to the Creative Discovery Museum and had a blast. Lucie loved it. It was also their youngest baby's first ... read more
