It came ....and went!

Playing in the snow!

Hmmm..yes, he liked to eat it!

Sometimes it's just too much to stand up at the tool bench. Mickey was helping too!

Making snow balls

Lucy at her one month appointment **she is quite the mover- typical of her arching her back!

Christmas came really quickly this year...and somehow it is already almost New Year's. We knew it would go fast, but it still surprises us when it happens! We took down all the Christmas decorations on Monday. It is nice to have the house back to a simpler place! However, we loved having everything out and the holidays were really great this year!
Lucy continues to amaze us and we love having her here. She is smiling more and it is so sweet! She had her one month (Geeez...can NOT believe she is one month old!) on Tuesday. Dr. G said she looked "Fantastic"! Everything looked great and she weighs 9lbs. 4oz.  Jack weighed 9lbs. 7 oz. at one month! They are very similar so far in weight! She is still sleeping great at night.... shesleptforeighthourslastnight. Please dont ask again about it! I dont want to jinx us! We are very proud of her! Jack is still being so sweet to her. He wants to hug her and kiss on her. He even gets her pacifier and puts it back in her mouth. We told him not to put his hands on it, but it is really too sweet that he wants to help. We do LOTS of hand washing around here. We are thankful to have made it through the holidays healthy and hope to continue that way!
Jack's imagination is so fun! He plays so well by himself and talks to whatever toy he is playing with at the time. He tells us all about his day and is also telling us "It's not Christmas anymore!" ...and then quickly followed up with "What's next?!" He was so much fun this year and was so into everything to do with the holidays. He is such a sweet little boy and we see so much more of his personality everyday. He still loves to play hide and seek and loves his new puzzles.  Santa brought him a soccer net and it is pretty funny to watch him play. He will start out kicking the ball, but usually it turns into him diving on top of the ball (breaking the "no hands" rule he learned at school) and sometimes dives into the net and gets tangled. It is pretty comical! He also loves playing with his big remote control car in the street...Again, it starts out with him controlling the car with the remote, but usually ends with him chasing the car or letting the car chase him (daddy prefers this because I think he enjoys the remote control car as much as Jack) He is quite the 2 year old. I can't believe it's only a few months until he is 3. Again.... if time would just slow down a little bit.
It has been a nice week with just a family of four.  We are enjoying the kids so much! It is really fun to have both of them here. We are very proud of them!

AND a little comparison! Who is who?!
