Some other snow we've seen

just outside our door of the new house.

These other two are from the cabin from the week we actually stayed up there. Lots of snow all the time. Pretty.

Who you gonna call?

Key Master!



This vehicle pulled up just outside of our front door this weekend. Who knew? Turns out the guy was a sandwich delivery guy and he locked his keys in the car. Whoopsy.

don't know how to truly catch up

It's been so long and lots has been going on around here.

Syd's almost two and, just a month away. She's acting like a two year old too. Talking so much and learning new words all the time. She tests Dave and I pretty frequently and much to his disappointment has learned the word 'mine'. It's fun to get Dad's goat with that one.

We've recently learned how sensitive our little girl can be. There's been lots of upheaval in our world. We have moved out of our house and have leased it for a year. That decision was based on moving us to a single level place while we're dealing with a newborn and toddler. I have to say, it's wonderful not having to walk up and down stairs carrying or holding Syd's hand and lugging my baby around, even if it's inside of me. In our interim state we moved up to the cabin in Evergreen to keep our house clean and ready to put on the market to sell. Turns out Syd was incredibly home sick, so we came home for the last few days before moving out. All is well now that we have a new home and she has her bed and toys with her in the new house.

What else do you need? Chocolate milk, black patent leather shoes and a stroller! see the hair?

Looking at pictures with Oma. Syd usually says "cute" when looking at pictures of herself.
