Snow Day!!

Last night we had a HUGE snow storm and just got dumped on!

I hate cold weather and snow, but I couldn't resist Will's

little face as he pointed out the window and said, "Snow?"

So, we went outside and played.

Friends: Camden, Emily and Will in front of a giant

snowman that Emily's Dad built.

Will helped pat it.

Camden's snow angel.

Woohoo! Let's go for it!

Yes, Will wore his P.J.'s, sneakers and coat.

I am probably going to be up for Mother of the Year.

My Name!!!

Will just discovered he has a name and he can say it! It's pretty cute.

It's Groundhog Day...Again

Once again, Feb. 2nd has come and gone. My favorite holiday, Groundhog Day, was blissfully celebrated this year at our home. It was indeed blissful because this year the Groundhog did NOT see his shadow. This is amazing because in the past, it has seen it's shadow 98 times and not seen it only 16 times. That was cause for celebration. Early Spring! Woo woo!

Everyone is holding their Groundhog place mats and making their best Groundhog face.

On the menu: Groundhog stew. Not really, it was pork chops and

potato flapjacks. Stephanie brought some awesome Pennsylvania Punch

and Lisa and Shauna contributed a stunning veggie tray

and crispy apple crisp. Yum.

Will colored his own place mat.

Sisters, sisters...

Will and uncle "Deeve," as he calls him.

Dave and Shauna. I wanted her to show off her

baby bump, but it is barely visible.

After dinner we skyped with my mom and dad and

then watched the movie. A good time was had by all.

Until next year, Happy Groundhog Day!

Playin'

These freezing winter days have been pretty frustrating for Will (and his mom). Being cooped up inside has given rise to some creative play ideas. Here's the latest: a fort in the living room. Will loved it. He brought all his toys inside and laid on his back and looked up at it. It was fun.

Peek-a-boo!

His new favorite trick: sitting on top of his play garage.

After some good fort time, Will took a red marker and went

to town on his face before I could stop him. His resulting

smile eerily resembled Joker's.

What a kid!

So, Will is a unique child. He does the funniest stuff and definitely want to do things his own way. We tried to give him "licks" of a Creamy pop the other day, but he wouldn't have it. He wanted to eat it himself. These are the results.

So, I took Will to the pediatrician last week and he suggested that now would a good time to have him start learning to drink out of a regular cup instead of a sippy. Well, you know how you have to lift a sippy cup all the way up to get the water to come out? Well, I think it might take a while for Will to learn that you don't have to do that with a regular cup. He soaks himself completely every time. The worst part is...he thinks it is hilarious and wants to do it over and over. What are we going to do with this kid? :)

Christmas Eve

We were able to spend Christmas Eve with Grandma Cora. We had an excellent ham dinner and then read the Christmas story from the Bible. Afterward, we watched Mr. Krueger's Christmas. A good time was had by all!
