Around the House

January was the coldest month on record.  Never before has Denver had a January that never got into the 60s.  And boy did we feel it.  On every previous blog years I have posts with us in tee shirts having picnics outside in January and February.  So far this has not been the case. It has been cold and snowy.  We have snow that happened in December that is still here (inches of it) and that has NEVER happened before.  We have spent a lot of time indoors.

These 2 cuties are playing really well together.  It is still a lot of parallel play, but they don't fight, they don't always need me involved, and sometimes they interact.  It is pretty cute.

In this picture they were going to a party at Krista and Marisa's house and kept talking to them - it was so cute.  I love that even though we don't have family they have found their own "aunts" in their lives.

One day we had a great snowfall and I sent all four kids out to shovel our stuff and then to do a few other houses for service.  Well... No good deed goes unpunished.  Noah took my keys to get a scrapper out of Jason's car to scrape off cars and at some point in the 3 hours Noah was out there my keys fell out of his pocket.  By the time he came in and he realized it was dark outside.  After an hour or so of looking it was obvious they were burried under the snow piles he had made shoveling.  Ahhhh!!  Over the next 2 days we all undug the very work Noah had dug.  At one point a neighbor came out to help us for a minute as we were shoveling through her side yard, she took a shovel and on her first scoop she found the keys!!  Halleluiah! 

We all love homemade pizza night.

No matter what I always end up bbq-ing in the snow or rain.
