Long Time No See

So it's been a while since I last posted on here...Oops, that's my mistake. I can't make excuses because there really aren't any. Well, I guess having two kids in various stages of growth, teething, and sinus/respiratory illnesses (aka the common cold) can count for some of the missed time but not all of it. So I apologize and will try to do better from here on out. Here's a little of what's been going on in the last few months at our house...

-V turned 2 just a few weeks ago. He certainly enjoyed his party, most especially the two toy cows he got for presents. Just hope he doesn't start expecting a cow for every year. :) He's turning into quite the mimic now. He and his daddy have a stretching contest every time L stretches. We are having to watch our words as he tries to say everything we do but the results can be hilarious, embarrassing, or simply horrifying since he can't pronounce all the sounds quite right.

-A is nearly four months and, like her brother, she's getting bigger by the day it seems. She can 'talk', giggle, roll from front to back and almost all the way back, and loves to sit up. She recently discovered the joys of applesauce but turned her nose up at the rice cereal. Picky eater already...

-We finally decided on a location for our house and plans are slowly moving along in that direction. I'm spending quite a bit of time dreaming of house plans and trying to fit everything we want into the size we have. It's like a big jigsaw puzzle. Some plans sound awesome but once drawn out, you see that something doesn't work. Others don't sound so promising but look pretty good once they are on paper. I can't wait to see what we come up with in the end.

-We've been having a very mild winter thus far with very few days in the 'frigid' range. It's been wonderful to take the kids for a walk in January but I wish we had a bit more snow. There's a dusting but it's iffy as to whether or not it would be good skiing yet so maybe tomorrow I'll take my skis out for a spin to see. I'm getting cabin fever so it would be lovely to get outdoors for some exercise if the weather is nice.

Well, I'm sure there's been plenty more happening in our little corner of the world but I can't think of anything of major importance at the moment. Maybe tomorrow... If I find the energy that is...

Fun to see what is going on in your neck of the woods! What location did you choose for the house? :)
