Belated Valentine's Day Pics!

I am a bit behind, but here are a few pictures taken at Valentine's Day....

YAY, treats!

We know who Daddy's Valentine is!!!

Hugs for Nana!

Playing with the Little People house at Nana's in her tutu (LOVED that tutu!!)

Valentine hugs for Nana!

Ev was invited to a kids' gym by his little girlfriend on Valentine's Day - his first date, so cute!!

Celebrating V-Day with Grammy & Grampy!

Trying on her new beach cover up and flip flops that Grammy & Grampy gave her for Valentine's Day! She's ready for Florida!!

Evan took this picture this morning of all his dinosaurs and specifically asked me to put it on the blog! It is a good picture!!

In going through some videos on my camera I realized I had wanted to post this a couple weeks ago...the kids having some fun before bedtime!

I thought this was pretty cool...this week we spotted a coyote in the back just on the outskirts of the woods behind Greg's house - two mornings in a row. I got a video of him...it's a little shaky since my arms were out the window but you can catch a pretty good glimpse of him. Of course I think it's cool now, but I won't in April when we are outside in the back all the time!

Sophia's First Haircut!

Sophia was beginning to look like she was growing a rat's tail in the back of her head so I decided this past week that it was time for a haircut. She did great - no crying, unlike her brother who STILL fusses every time Daddy cuts his hair! Here are a few pictures....

The "consultation" - with so many hairstyles, how do you choose??!!!

Before the cut...

During...

Admiring herself afterwards in the mirror!

Ev had fun tagging along!

Happy Year and a Half Birthday Sophia!!

Sophia turned 18 months old yesterday. She's doing great - not too much new since my last post except that she is fully into her climbing phase. You can't turn your back on her for a second and she is up on a chair, couch, the dining room table...you name it! I remember it being that quick with Evan too - one minute he was content on the floor, the next minute I found him on top of our antique record player...I'm not sure who had a bigger look of surprise on our face - him or me! The same for Sophia -I had my back to Sophia in the kitchen the other day and when I turned around she was standing in the middle of the dining room table! It happened in a split second! YIKES! She is also learning her colors and her favorite is "yellow" - everything is yellow now - and she asks for her milk every morning in her yellow cup. I can't argue with her favorite color choice....proves that she is a swede and definitely my daughter!!!! Here's a couple of pics I took this past week while playing with Ev before bed.....

Snow, Snow, Snow!!

For our relatives in Florida.....as promised, we've posted below some pictures of our house, street, deck and yard after our most recent snow storm this past week. We are expected to get more snow/sleet/ice today. Our trip to Florida can't come quick enough!!!

I love how you can barely see the top of our lamppost!

A view down Lowell Ave....

Our deck....no barbeques for a while.....

One more snow storm and the dome climber will be buried!!
