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!

Greetings from sunny Massachusetts!

The most wonderful thing has happened! It's sunny! And warm! I'd say its at least 50 degrees outside. Which to me, feels almost tropical. I can't wait for Evan to wake up from his nap so we can go for a walk. Although right now, I am sitting on the couch in the sunshine with all the windows open and it is quite enjoyable. Aaah.

I didn't realize how little time we've been able to spend outside all winter, and now that it's sunny, I'm aware of how much I missed it. It's just so cold here in the winter--and now I'm really looking forward to spring. It was actually pretty nice this weekend, so we busted out Evan's wagon and went for a walk.

He loved it. He walked for a little bit, and stomped in some puddles, and got quite a kick out of riding in the wagon. The best way to travel, I guess. I'm just happy that it has seat belts in it so he can't bail out mid-ride. Or stand up. Because he would. These Radio Flyer people really know what they're doing! (thanks, Gamma!)

So, that's what we'll be doing again later this afternoon. Tomorrow, we're going to go to the Discovery Museum again--I knew we wouldn't be able to stay away for long!

By the way, we gave Evan a haircut again. He needed it--see?

Too long for this Air Force family! Definitely not within regulations. Now, keep in mind that we're still new to this "using clippers" business and with each haircut, we will get better. I think.

The "buzz" wasn't really the look we were going for, but it was a joint effort. I actually like it--although it makes him look much older and kind of catches me by surprise sometimes. No bald spots though--that's a plus.

Mike says that now Evan looks a lot like he did when he was little, which I totally agree with. Actually, Mike claims that he remembers Matt with hair like this during toddler-hood, so I guess he thinks Evan looks like Matt. Same thing though, right? Whaddya think Smith's--is he a mini Mike-or-Matt? I wish I knew how to use our scanner (I think we have a scanner) so I could add a baby pic of Mike, but you will just have to use your imaginations!

Now my sun has gone behind a few clouds. Bummer. It'll be back. I never thought I would like living in a warm climate (hello, Oregonian here) but now that we have the possibility of moving to somewhere in the upcoming year where it's warm most of the time (California, the Southwest, Florida), and after living in Massachusetts, It's looking more and more appealing. It would be weird not to have snow, but I think constant sunshine would even that out for me. Wherever we go will have pros and cons though, so bring it on!
