Picture Post

I have been very lazy about updating the blog lately. I think the doldrums of winter have finally beat all the vitamin D out of me, and I just don't have the energy or interest to do anything except watch the forecast for the arrival of true spring temperatures.
 Over the past week or so, we've been doing the same old stuff we usually do...activities, play dates, family outings, etc. Paul was home most of the week last week since the kids were technically on Spring Break. Had I know how awful this winter was going to be, I would have booked us a getaway for sure!

Thanks to a partially failed vision screening at school, Caroline got to have a visit with Dr. Brown. Thankfully,  although she doesn't see 100% perfectly, there's no need for any vision correction for Miss Caroline. 

Julia and Caroline enjoying a warm weathered jaunt to the playground. Julia ran the ENTIRE way...it has to be at least 3/4 of a mile! 

Julia and her bubble beard.

The mattress sets for Julia's "big girl" beds have arrived. We are still awaiting the beds themselves, but the girls had a sleepover to test the mattresses

The twins new favorite game is "Catch Me!" Unfortunately, there is generally no catching involved. Thankfully, no one has been injured yet. ;-) 

The only person who still gets excited EVERY time it snows is Caroline. She dresses herself for the elements and takes long solo snow walks in our backyard. I took this picture from inside the house :-)
