Old Man Winter

February is just around the corner and it is the worst month of the year for me. I always get a little down in February, dreaming of green grass, the smell of fresh flowers blooming and lazy days at the lake. I know it is just around the corner, but I still just can't wait for spring. Good thing February is a short month! Thank goodness for the girls, they are going to make February not so depressing this year :-)

Who's your Mommy?

Alyssa is such a little mommy. She always wants to "help" with Bella. She wants to change her diaper, feed her and rock her to sleep. She knows Bella's schedule too. When I am making dinner for Alyssa, she will say "sister hungry too". When we get ready in the morning to go to grandma's, she helps put Bella's coat and boots on. She is such a sweet and patient 2 year old.

Trick Photography

Since I am the photographer (and I use that term loosely) around here, I have very few pictures of me and the girls. That bums me out - so this is what I end up with:

I guess it is better than nothing. At least now they will know I was around when they grow up.

Toofers

Briella's first two teeth popped through this week - we call them toofers around here. I remember not too long ago when toofers meant a whole different thing - I would of spelled it "twofors" back then. Ahhh, those were the days - but I wouldn't change a thing!

Brrrrr

Just like today it was a very cold day three years ago. It was a day that most people would of stayed home in their cozy pajamas and curled up on their couch.  Who in their right mind gets married in January?!?! I am sure that is what all of our friends and family were thinking when they had to leave their warm house to attend our wedding. That very cold day turned out to be one of the three best days of my life!!!

Happy Anniversary Brian - I love you!!!

Did I miss something?

Bella does not like to miss anything!!! She will crank her head and contort her body just to make sure she can see what is going on. She also does not like to go to sleep when she is tired. She will fight it 'til the very end, she wants to be in the action all the time - I wonder where she gets that from?!?!?!

I'm not tired mommy, just resting my eyes

Potty Time

Five days in a row on the potty - way to go Alyssa. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!!!
