Micah went in for his 18 Month Check-up on Monday. His latest stats are below.
Height: 32 in / 45% (Wahoo!)
Weight: 23 lbs 4 oz / 20% (We're working on it...He never stays still long enough to absorb any calories)
Head Circum: 18 1/8 in / 55% (He's so smart.)

As promised
It's late. The house is quiet. Everyone's asleep. Except me. I'm wide awake. Not sure why. I'm not in much of a mood for writing, but I thought I should at least be productive in this insomnia state.
This was last Thursday when it had first started snowing. Get a good look at it. (*Fingers Crossed*) We won't get that too often.
Micah sat on the driveway while I shoveled thick, heavy, wet snow. In Colorado it's courteous to shovel your neighbor's driveway if you have the time. After I finished up ours, I was a little afraid to shovel any of my neighbor's driveways. I've also been a true southerner, and I know how exciting the snow really is and how upset they may get if I mess up the pretty white blanket.
So, instead of shoveling the neighbors' diveways, I took Micah out on the sled.
On Friday, Tom's office closed due to the weather. Did you hear that, Denver residents? That's called a snow day. It's okay to close offices when there's snow. Anyway, Tom tried to teach Micah to ride on the sled down the hill.
Eskimo Kisses
We had fun, but I'm glad it melted.

Valentine's Day
Eight years ago Tom and I shared our first homemade, heart-shaped chicken alfredo pizza on Valentine's Day, and it's been our tradition ever since. Tonight we made (well, Tom made) this delicious dinner.
Each year we enjoy our pizza on the couch in front of the tv watching whatever romantic comedy is newly released. Tonight we have a double feature with The Time Traveler's Wife and Motherhood.
Check out the Valentine's Day loot!
The best Valentine's Day card ever! Super funny!
If you're all wondering, yes, we did get quite a bit of snow this past week. Pictures and videos to come. I'm hungry!
Happy Valentine's Day!

Another Wednesday
Today was just another Wednesday. Nothing special. Micah and I spent the morning playing and picking up the house, and after naptime (3 hours long:)) we went to TJMaxx and Kirklands just to get out of the house.
As far as unpacking goes, I got through one box today and I think I only have about 8 or 9 to go. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hooray!
Here are a few pictures of our morning play time.
Micah was trying to hide among the pillows.
It was almost naptime and we were still in our PJs.
He loves to stumble and stomp around in Mama and Dada's shoes.

Hello, Denver
I knew it would only be a few short weeks before Tom was checking flights back to Denver. It's true! We're heading back there for a long weekend Feb 19th-23rd. Tom is presenting some of his work in the Denver office on Monday the 22nd, so Micah and I are tagging along for the trip. Tom hasn't been snowboarding this season yet, so I knew the trip was inevitable. So, to all of our friends and family in Denver, we'll see you soon!
Later Taters!

Checking in
This Sunday morning Micah cooperated a little more for pictures. He sure does clean up nice!
But, he still has a short attention span for photos.
Micah tried out the nursery for the first time this week at church. I've never been to a church with such a fancy, hi-tech nursery system. When we dropped him off it was midway through the mass after he had gotten restless in the santuary. As we signed him in, they handed us a beeper. Yes, if your child gets too upset, they beep you and you are to come get your child. Well, Micah made it about 15 minutes. Oh, well. He tried. A new environment and all new people was a bit overwhelming for him. Maybe he'll last 20 minutes next week.
This is today. Check out the mess.
It's another rainy Monday confined to indoor activities. The house is a wreck, but we've managed to do the dishes and some laundry. Not much else. Oh well.

Church
Since we've been in Texas we've been attending one of the only Catholic churches in the area. It's a growing parish in a very tiny church. To read about it's history click here http://www.stfoafrisco.org/history.asp. There are five services on Sundays and one on Saturday nights. This Sunday morning we finally got up early enough to get a seat in the sanctuary rather than standing in the greeting space or foyer. Arriving 25 minutes early guaranteed us seats, but it did not guarantee a well behaved one year old for an hour and a half. Towards the beginning of the homily, Tom and Micah abandoned their seat to retreat to the foyer so Micah could do what one year olds do after being confined for too long. Oh well, we tried.
This is Micah before church and all wound up. This is the best shot I could get because he wouldn't stay still.
