Say doughnut!!!!

Took Kyle to DD for a special treat! I think he enjoyed his doughnut!

Growing up too fast!

We had a nice visit with Dave's Aunt Susan and Uncle Gary, Cousin Brett and Justin, Stephanie, Damian and the kid cousins

Dylan, Kiera, Kyle and Elizabeth

Girls playing

Happy girl starting to take some steps!

Buddies are playing at the table

Picnic anyone?

Visit from Pop Pop

We had a playdate with Kyle' s friend Charlie. They used to go to school together until Charlie moved and started a new place. Kyle sure does miss Charlie!

We used finger paint to make Daddy a great big Valentine's Day card! Fun for all!

Uncle Howard came over to help fix a bunch of stuff in our house that we are not able to do. Kyle really enjoyed being his apprentice! We think Kyle may be handier than the 2 of us....and that isn't very hard to do!

Kyle and Elizabeth are playing really well together lately. Here they are having some fun in the tub!

More snow!!!!

And we got MORE snow...not sure of this snowfall's totals, but I think I heard around 19 inches. We had "blizzard" like conditions...whipping wind, falling trees and lots of blowing snow! It was crazy! They even shut down some major roads!This has been a record setting year for snowfall! My work was closed, as were many places of business. Dave did have to go into work...good thing for the 4 wheel drive!

Here is a VERY kind neighbor using his snowblower to clear off the sidewalks! Thanks! (for those of you in the south...it is our legal obligation to clear the sidewalks on our property!)

These are some shots from the bedroom window of our neighbor's houses. Too cold now to go out with the kids! Notice they already cleared the street!

So warm inside, Elizabeth could just be in a diaper!

Dave tried to go into work today and found the Rezer's tree had fallen across the driveway. Thanks, Harry for helping to clear the way! We were glad he had some equipment available. The only thing we have to help in this situation is a saw...and it is past the huge mountail of snow over the fence, through the backyard snow and probably stuck in the shed because we doubt we could even get the shed door open!

Hugs!~

Hmmmm, will this snow ever end? When are we going to get to go swimming?

Entertaining in the basement

Little Mr. Fix it!

We pretended to be a band with kitchen instruments...Elizabeth chose to eat her drum stick...then we had a marching band that turned into a fun dance party!....cabin fever????

Making Valentines for his classmates

Simon had his 3rd birthday last saturday. It was at their new home! They brought in a great singer for the kids. All the boys were very interactive...and Elizabeth was enjoying it too! Happy Birthday, Simon!

Elizabeth and Talia become friends!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!

We got MORE snow here. The closest town total I could find was 29.5 inches!!!! That is a LOT of snow! We had fun playing in the snow...but are not hesitant to say we have only 3 more northern winters after this one!
Kyle enjoyed playing a bit more this time...but after taking his gloves off (after repeated suggestions to keep them on) he got a bit cold! It was also quite challenging for him (and me) to walk in the high snow! The snow crept into his boots and the fun was over! Daddy quickly rescued him and warmed him up with some warm water and hugs!
While outside, he played with his new sled from Marybeth..thanks Marybeth! We didn't make it to slide down a big hill...just in the driveway and street. It is great snow for making a snowman....maybe we will venture out today again...

Looks tough to walk in!

Colin was the first to venture out to the snow covered swings!

Big snowball!

Fun on the sled!

Check out how high the snow is on Dave's leg...this isn't drift snow or shoveled snow piled up...just plain old snowfall!

The little helper!
