FINALLY...it's starting to look like spring

Despite all of the snow we've gotten in the last few weeks, a few of my tulips managed to hang in there...well, until Micah got his hands on them.

Another week

After 2 ear infections last week, Micah is beginning to feel much better. He's still not thrilled about taking Amoxicillin, but Tom and I manage to hog tie him to get it down. Despite his fussy times this week, he's learned to wave goodbye and to make motor boat sounds constantly. I haven't been able to catch his wave on camera yet but I'll keep trying.

Micah decided to help with the laundry.

When Life Gives You Snow, Make A Snowman!

The snow that we're continuously getting is thick, wet snow-- perfect for making a snowman! Micah watched from the front porch as we spent over an hour building our massive 8ft tall snowman. We're pretty proud of to have the biggest and tallest snowman on the block. Check him out below!

Again

It's snowing again! I70 is closed causing our ski trip to be postponed until Sunday. Some areas have reported more than 2 feet of snow. Thankfully, we only have about 6-8 inches. It's hard to believe that it's already closing weekend on the slopes, and it's even harder to believe it's mid April and we're still getting feet of snow. My fingers are crossed that the weather man is right about the 70 degree weather coming on Tuesday.

Instead of skiing tomorrow, Tom and I just might buy that dining room set we've been eyeing for a while now. They have a sale running this weekend, and it's a shame we don't have a new dining room set to put in the beautifully new tiled room. Stay tuned to find out if we follow through.

Micah is progressing with his attempt at crawling. He's increasing his upper body strength every day. He just hasn't mastered getting his legs under his body to push up on all fours yet. Last night I got down in the floor with him and we did push-ups together. He laughed at me while I attempted my "girl push-ups". What's even more funny is that I'm terribly sore today.

Well, have a nice weekend, blog followers. And, can you do me a favor and send some sunshine my way? THANKS!

Happy Easter

Before the sun was up, Micah was already up and experiencing his first Easter. We were off to church by 7am (yes, you read that right) and still didn't get seats in the sanctuary. Instead we were seated in the life center and watched mass on a projection screen. Micah was very talkative through the whole service and progressively got cranky. Could it have been the early hour? Probably.

After church we came home and dug into Micah's Easter basket. He liked his stuffed bunny and lamb, and Tom and I really enjoyed all of the chocolate! We had pancakes, chocolate and Dr. Pepper for breakfast! Yum! I'm so happy lent is over!

Around 10am we were headed north to Tom's cousin's house for brunch. The kids had an egg hunt, but Micah watched through the window. (It was rainy and cold out.) Next year he'll give them all a run for their money.

In the early afternoon, we decided to head home. Micah and Tom took a snooze on the couch and now Micah is up and is CRANKY...again! I think he's just mad because I won't give him any chocolate...

Take a look at some of the highlights of Micah's first Easter below!

Mail Call

So, this is what we do when we get home every afternoon. He gets to play with all of the empty envelopes.

April snow storms bring...

It's Spring, yet we are still getting snow. A storm blew through Denver late yesterday afternoon and left us with 3 inches of wet snow covering everything. The 6 o'clock news today said we should expect more snow on Saturday. Seriously. Can we have some warm weather please? My poor tulips are barely hanging on out there.

Tom, Micah and I are all doing well. Micah is trying with all of his might to crawl. He gets a little frustrated when he manages to scoot himself backwards away from the toys that he's so desperately reaching for. Micah's still not sleeping through the night, but he's gotten it down to one wake up call between 1am and 2am. He's also not very interested in taking his bottles anymore. He'd rather munch on fruits and veggies. Tom weighed Micah the other night and he's roughly a little over 19lbs. So, this weekend we'll be getting a new bigger car seat of our growing boy.

Tom scanned some of Micah's Easter pictures show I could share them with our blog friends. Enjoy!
