Reflections on birth

There is lots of baby talk at our house. Tonight Adam was inquiring about how the baby was getting out of my body. I explained again, and he looked at me and said so seriously, "Mom, that baby is too big to come out of there."

I totally agree.

A little more winter

Yesterday I took Elizabeth out snowshoeing. My mom asked if I was too pregnant to go and I reminded her that I was going with a 5 year old. We would walk 10-15 steps and Elizabeth would go down into the snow bank to eat snow and emerge giggling. This continued for 40 minutes, so we were a good team. It was a beautiful day, and her giggles made it so much fun.

Wrestling man

This weekend we cheered for Josh's team during team sections. It's so funny to see how each child approaches wrestling. Elizabeth looked at me after 20 minutes and asked if it was almost done. I replied, "Sweetie, we have years of this!" (Keep in mind this is the child that will sit through 2 hour plays and ballets.)

Adam, on the other hand, was in his glory. He watched captivated and would have stayed for the whole day. (A bit of popcorn at the beginning seals the deal.)

Happy Valentine's Day!

There was much hype and excitement leading up to Valentine's Day this year. Celebrating with two preschoolers was beyond fun for me. We decorated valentine's, made mailboxes for our cards, and decorated sugar cookies.

Happy Valentine's Day!
