It snowed!

Zaphira got sick Thursday night, and the rest of the family fell on Sat. We are all just starting to feel better (except poor Zaphira, who just can't kick it)

It snowed tonight, so the kids went out for a couple of minutes to check it out. Zaphira was duly impressed, and set about tasting the snowball Drew made for her. The pictures are crappy, because it was already dark and we only have a bug-off light outside that is really yellow.





Also, remind me not to give Zanthias markers in the car while unattended. Bad Mama.




He was very proud of himself.

Zaphira likes being outside.

We are officially snowed in. We had about 7" the other day, and Drew even got Monday off work. It was Zanthias's first time on a sled, and he had a great time. Thanks for the floor piano, Wilbur and Deborah-Zanthias really loves it.

Playing in the snow and 4 months

Snow in my face!

Zanthias caught this shot.

Zaphira was 4 months on the 5th. I can't believe how big she has gotten already. She's somewhere around 15 lbs, not sure how tall. She has a well baby visit on the 23rd, so we'll find out then. She's solidly in 6 and 6-9 month clothes already...which is always annoying because we have so many clothes for her that she didn't even get to wear them all! (please don't buy clothes for presents-I still have drawers full that friends gave me!)
It snowed a lot starting Sat. night so we went out to play on Sun. Zanthias had a great time, and was really excited to play in the snow for the first time.
