Freak Snowstorm

These are pics from yesterday's freaky snowstorm. Lily went running through the house screaming "No, no, no, no, no!" At first I thought she was mad; then I saw her expression and realized she remembers what snow is--and just didn't tack on the "s". Emma couldn't wait to go outside and catch a snowflake on her tongue just like in A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Poor Kiddo

Little Miss Lily has had a rough week. Last weekend she fell numerous times at our hotel room and came home with all sorts of cuts and bruises. Then the last few days she has been sick with some sort of stomach bug. We're going on a road trip this weekend, so here's hoping we're over the worst of it!

Windstorm Damage

This is not our house--this house is on College Avenue. A perfectly good tree (not dead/dying/rotting) blew over and crunched into this house. A house down the street from us lost a tree, too. Luckily the tree fell directly between the two houses and didn't hit either house. Our house lost a number of cedar shakes, so we are (hopefully) going to get a new roof this month. At least we don't have to do major repair work like these poor people!

Getting ready for Easter

So many people may be wondering if we're the type of people to put our children in ridiculous looking hats. The answer is: yes!

And to our critics: We could not find a hat in Emma's size. She got something else.

Random Ramblings

This is the oh, so special part where I get to vent about my husband taking the digital camera to work! At some point I will have it back and we can get new pictures on here! In the meantime, no, I did not win a 32" flatscreen TV from The Ellen DeGeneres show. I'm sad, but somehow I will make it through. Where would we put one anyway?

We have all gotten over the flu now, except for some residual coughing and excess fluid in the head. Someday I'll be able to hear again. That is, if I can stop coughing long enough to hear anything.

Emma is obsessed with Dora the Explorer! She now has sheets with Dora and Boots and is getting a watch for Easter. She runs around with a backpack on and keeps giving directions to Lily and me about such things as "Put your feet on the pedals and pedal, pedal, pedal!" She's also getting really good at identifying colors in Spanish. And Lily is learning the word for jump (I'd write it but I have no idea how to spell it).

Lily, other than learning a smattering of Spanish, is getting in her molars. We noticed last night that she has two in on the top (no telling how long they'd been there) and her bottom gums are swollen. She's been sleeping less and grumpy more. Good times. In her spare time, she likes to slide, sweep, take her plate into the kitchen after meals and point out every round shaped item she can see: lemons, pom poms, balls, crab apples, etc.--all termed "ball".

Well, time to vacuum the house. Who has more fun than me?

Sisters,

sisters, there were never such devoted sisters....
