the snowy day(s).

We've been reading a lot about Peter and his snowy day adventure these days - because we've had a lot of snow. Jason hurt his back, so I've been out shoveling a fair amount which isn't my favorite activity to do while pregnant. Still, being outside with this little girl who is so excited about the beautiful falling flakes makes me a little less crabby about the weather.

can you believe that flock of geese?

20 months.

Today, I am 20 months old!

I love my new playroom - especially my easel and my brand new kitchen. I love my new room and the big flight of stairs going up to it; what fun to be able to climb up and down whenever I want to! (Mommy and Daddy say I need to have one of them with me when I try, though.) Life has been busy around here lately with packing and moving but I'm excited to start having new adventures here in my new house!

 (when Mommy asks me to smile in pictures, this is what I think looks the best!)

cabin fever.

With all the packing and errands and an exhausted first-trimester mommy, Lorelei's been going a little stir-crazy.

Luckily, she's got a partner in crime who likes to have a good time just as much as she does. The two of them make an awfully good duo.

And here's some sweet music to our ears: we close on the new house tomorrow! Hooray!

super bowl, toilet bowl.

So the boys in green and gold didn't go all the way this year - that's not stifling the enthusiasm of a certain little Packer Backer we know and love.

moving.

It's official: we're moving a few miles down the road to a house big enough for our soon-to-be family of four! Lorelei has been a great help with packing...

32.

Today, I turned 32. To celebrate, Ross + Meredith + Jason + my dad and I (Mom had to work) headed to the MOA to go on rides with Lorelei. We each took turns taking her on a ride or two - and then Ross, Jason, and Meredith went on a few "adult" rides too. Lorelei definitely seemed to prefer some over others, and she tried to climb off her carousel mount and onto Meredith mid-ride! We followed up our morning of fun with an ice cream treat - definitely Lorelei's favorite part :)

Just a few "we're hanging out on the couch" shots...reading books and watching the Wildcats.
