Snowman Day 3

Snowman: Day 2

As you can see, our amazing snowman is holding up. We purposely positioned him in the shade so he could last longer. ;) I've named him "Coal" since it's appropriate for the theme.

Also, here's what is left of the snow in our back yard this morning. The front yard was mostly gone yesterday since we only got about 2 inches where more in town got up to 7! Wow, those folks were lucky!

100th Post!

The last Winter storm before Spring (likely).

It SNOWED today! I was so happy that we finally got snow on a day I could actually enjoy it! I usually have to work the day's it's snowed really well here in Tennessee. So, it was enough that with our minimal snow accumulation in TN, we aren't prepared for caring for the roads = church was cancelled for us this morning. As much as I would have liked to go to church I was shamefully excited because this meant I'd get to make my first snowman in all of my 35 years! Seriously, I've never made one before even when I lived in Provo Utah for 1 1/2 years. So here it is...

more pictures:

Predators vs. Chicago Black Hawks this past Tuesday night. Matt and Michael got to sit with a friend in really good seats with perks (food) so our TN nieces got to come with Nanci, Evan and I in our regular season ticket seats. We are bummed we weren't at the game Saturday night when we 'killed' the Detroit Red Wings 8-0!

We're finally using our High Chair we bought at IKEA 4 1/2 months ago! Obviously Evan loves it and is displaying his newest adventure: eating rice cereal. Last week, he tried Bananas and pictured is Carrots he tried last night for the first time. He likes them both but really, I mix them with the cereal that I know he already likes so to get him used to it. Eventually I'll give them to him straight. This week I'll introduce a new fruit then a new Vegitable. I'm thinking either Prunes or Pears and the vegi, Green beans. So exciting experimenting with your kid! lol. Also, for your pleasure, you can see, he enjoys eating as many fingers as will fit in his mouth. ;) This causes many smiles from us and drool from him as he's 'teething'. I don't see or feel any teeth yet and don't anticipate any for a couple more months but still, he's definately chewing to bring them in. I'm pretty sure I won't be putting my fingers in his mouth when he does, without a little prayer first. :) Ouch! That can hurt

Finally... Bath Time! He loves it! Here he is in one of his 3rd most favorite place, a tub of water! (third after his bouncer and exerciser)He only gets a couple inches but he loves to splash splash splash in it! Also pictured is his favorite Pirate rubber ducky that tells if the water is too hot but Evan loves to stare at it. :) Thanks again Melody!
