Winter Update

 

We are just trying to keep warm and are anxiously awaiting Spring. Actually, it has been a fairly mild winter with the exception of the last two weeks. We had bad ice one week and then some slushy snow the next. At least it was enough snow to do a little bit of early morning sledding and make snow cream!

 

 

Ready to go play outside

Em's first time playing in the snow and sledding

 

 

 

 

 

The kids are growing like weeds, as you can imagine. They are sweet as can be but sure do keep us on our toes, especially Emily. She is 27 months today! She goes to preschool two days a week which has been quite a nice break for mommy. Plus, she absolutely loves to go and just adores her teachers, Ms. Angie and Ms. Vivian. She is talking like crazy and sometimes in full sentences. She can say her ABC's (for the most part) and counts to 10! She loves to sing songs that she learns at school  like "Jesus Loves Me" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". She is extremely defiant and dramatic at times. Good thing she is cute!

 

Jackson sure is getting big. In fact, lately I've been noticing that his pants are all getting too short and his arms growing out of his sleeves! He is going to school 4 days a week and just loves Ms. Szabo and Ms. Blackshaw (who replaced Ms. Campbell last month). Jackson is definitely ready for kindergarten. He is thriving in his class and learning so much this year. He loves building with his Legos and playing with his tool set on his new work bench that him and daddy built together. He finished basketball in January and wants to try tee ball next! He is such a silly, kind hearted little boy. He is pretty good about looking out for his little sister although he certainly has his moments where he loves to push her buttons and just wont leave her alone!
