January picture post

Remember that one time this winter when it actually snowed?  Luckily, we didn't waste the opportunity, waiting for the next snowfall.  Lucy was off school on this particular day and spent it with Chloe while Max was at Shelly's and I was at work.  I didn't think to pack snow clothes for her (and I think it snowed more than expected) so she hadn't played outside and was dying to.  By the time we got home, it was already starting to get dark and the last thing I wanted to do was suit up and play outside...but Lucy wore me down (and I'm glad she did).

They had a great time making snow angels, sliding down the front hill on their butts and exploring int he backyard.  They were not happy with me when I finally made them go inside.  No pictures to share but on Sunday, there was still enough snow at GranJan & Grandpa's house to do some actual sled riding (on sleds!) - the grandparents even got in on the fun and went sledding also!  Max missed out because he was napping but Lucy & Luke were loving life.

Lucy is back in gymnastics!  She took a break - longer than we intended - but is back in action, this time at Skip & Flip in Alexandria.  She's doing very well...the teacher there is very good with the girls and Lucy is taking it much more seriously than she did at Premier - but she's still having a lot of fun.

These besties were recently reunited - Lucy & Ava got together to finally celebrate Christmas.  Ava gave Lucy a mermaid tail - so exciting!!!

Happy birthday, Uncle Jeff!

Another visit to Lucy at school!  I seriously cannot get enough of it!  This time, it was Parent Appreciation Day during Catholic School's Week.  I got to bring her lunch - grilled cheese from Frisch's - and eat with her then hang out for a bit.  She took me on a tour of the library.

This was on a rare no-nap day
He was watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse before bed one minute, and the next he was sound asleep!
