So much time

has been passing. It is hard to keep up with the updates. In spite of being stuck in the house for a good part of the month due to snow and snow related issues, it has been hard to find time to sit down at the computer and write updates. The kids have been loving the snow but I think I am done with it. The biggest problem is that in spite of the weather being warm enough to go outside, there is no where to go. The sidewalks are all blocked and the backyard is poopy from Jack. So spring can't come soon enough. Then it will be a swamp! Oh well, a warm swamp anyway.

Joshua had a dental check up earlier in the month. He has a cavity but given the difficulty he has at the dentist, we opted not to fill it at the recommendation of the dentist. We are just going to try and brush better and keep an eye on it.

Mira turned 2 on the 15th and we had family and neighbors over to celebrate. She had a Toby cake (as in Toby from Thomas the Tank Engine) and received some of her favorite things: goldfish crackers, animal crackers, books, crayons, pretty hair things, clothes, etc.

Evelyn has been flying through milestones. She has two teeth, sits well on her own and now gets up on all fours rocking away. I know that first crawl is right around the corner. She also says Ma ma ma. and Da da da. She eats much better now. I was getting concerned because she wasn't moving the food to the back of her mouth and getting her tongue out of the way but she is, as of today, and plows through applesauce, avacado, sweet potatoes, rice cereal and peaches.

All the kids had a cold this past weekend but are mostly on the mend. We are hoping to visit Memaw tomorrow and then go on a little road trip on Thursday to an Amish market and train place. I see daffodils poking their heads through the snow and the weather was in the 40's today. I think there is hope.
