Snow Day!

Here are pictures and a video clip from our recent snow day. We were so happy, for Julia's sake, that we got snow this year since she spent the month of January learning about it in school. We went out to see it first thing that morning, but it was overcast and only about 20 degrees so we didn't stay long - we were both cold and hungry. Later after the sun came out and it warmed up some, we went back out and she enjoyed it much more.

Not a lot of snow, but just enough.

All the kids were out, and our street was perfect for sledding.

The view from our bedroom window.

Love this pic!

Thanks to the amazing technology of iPhone 4, I was able to take this video and send it to Kyle's phone while he was at work since he missed all the fun.

Julia's First Haircut

Julia had her very first haircut on February 1st. We decided to take her to a "real" place instead of one intended just for kids and she was perfect. She was very quiet and didn't say a word until it was time to leave. Debbie, the lady who did her hair, said besides her own nephew she has never had a child cooperate so well and be as good as Julia. We were so proud. Of course we took lots of pictures since it was a momentous occasion!

Here is her hair "before."

Getting ready for the wash.

That feels weird!

Excited about the pretty polka dot drape.

Love this expression when she noticed the giant clips.

Holding very still.

Admiring...

The finished product!

That was fun!

Colin and Daddy came to watch too!

"Mommy, I want a picture with Colin!"

Mamaw & Papaw Visit

Kyle went with some friends to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl, so Mamaw and Papaw came to visit for the weekend. We had a great time and enjoyed gorgeous weather.

Not long after they arrived, Julia got Papaw working on a project: fixing her duck bath toy. Anytime something is broken that we tell her can't be fixed (with tape, batteries, or glue), her response is "Papaw can fix it!" She has learned at a young age just how handy Papaw is. Here they are taking the toy apart to see what is wrong with it.

A beautiful sunset!

Fun times at the park!

Brunch at Monument before they had to head back home.

Bath Time

Colin usually enjoys his bath time, as long as we don't spend too long and isn't already tired before we get started. Here are some pictures of him and of Julia when they had baths at the same time.

Recent Pictures

Here are some random pictures from the last month...

Enjoying her first ice cream cone (of her own) with Mamaw and Daddy.

Daddy and Julia playing with the train under the tree.

Getting ready to go on our first walk as a family of four! Colin wasn't excited.

Ready for an outing!

Working her new puzzle with Daddy. Thank you Dave and Marta!

At the hospital to meet Jordan, who weighed almost 3 pounds less than Colin at birth.

Colin after his bath. Notice the curls in his hair when wet.

Playing with her new bath toy, the "scrub-a-dub" cocker spaniel she named "Lady the Tramp" :)

Julia and Lady, all clean after bath time.

First of many story times.

Sweet face.

This is the face I get when Julia doesn't want to take a picture.

Julia loves it that Colin rides in the car next to her.
