More snow? Really?

We finally had gotten rid of all the snow in our yard. We have had a yard full of snow since December, and it was a welcome sight to have it all gone...and then it snowed again. Literally, the next day. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, seeing as it's still winter, but with our glimpses of warm weather here and there, I was hopeful for spring. This is what we got:




Ugh. All of this accumulated overnight, so this is what we woke up to yesterday--except yesterday it continued to snow all day. I know it sounds cliche, but I guess March really is in like a lion. Hopefully it will go out like a lamb.

Evan and I went out and played for a bit today, and snow still isn't his favorite thing. I don't blame him, especially because when he falls down it's impossible for him to get back up with all of his snow gear on. Highlight of our trip out in the snow: an ambulance drove by to check on the fire hydrants--for a one-year old, best thing ever.

Really though, not much has been happening around here. I was thinking about sending out some pictures on Snapfish, which I try to do once a month, and realized that I hadn't really taken any in the month of February. Sad. Hopefully March will be more interesting.

I'll leave you with a video of Evan's new favorite activity--he calls Cody "CoGo" and is quite in love with him. He shares his food with him (unfortunately), and when Cody's bowl is empty he brings it to us and says "more?"--needless to say, Cody has gained a few pounds!

A boy and his dog...someday

Poor Cody. He's such a good dog, and over the past year he hasn't really been getting the love and attention that he had grown accustomed to. And if you know Cody at all, you know that he seems to demand an exceptional amount of love and attention. His world was turned quite upside down when Evan arrived--with most of our attention going to Evan--and since then Evan has slowly developed a huge interest in Cody. Mainly, Cody's eyes, ears, paws and tail. And when I say interest, I mean wanting to poke or pull these things. Needless to say, Cody hasn't been too fond of Evan, and aside from being quite protective of Evan in the beginning (or just watchful and wary, I'm not sure) he mostly just tolerates him. By leaving the room when Evan comes near him.

However, it seems that Cody and Evan are beginning to get a long a little bit better.(Cody looks worried, I know, but it's a start!) Evan really likes to throw Cody's toys for him, and even though they don't get thrown very far, sometimes Cody will run after them. Also, Evan has learned how to do "nice touches" (instead of poking) and is getting pretty good at petting him. Sometimes Cody even seems to enjoy it a bit. Evan especially likes to give Cody hugs, which is adorable.

I have a feeling that someday soon, they are going to be inseperable.

I'm off to go cuddle with my dog.

P.S. How cool is Evan in his Jerry's shirt? (it finally fits, Grandpa and Kate!)
