Finally, a snow day!

"Its snowing!" Our first time to pull out the snow pants and stomp around in the snow. It may seem unbelievable to some of you because a lot of you live in snowy climates. We had a great time with some of the other neighbor kids out in the street.

Charlie has really caught on to the "say cheese" thing.


We love the panda bear hat (Thanks Tana!) but its still a little big and gets in the eyes.


Catching snow on the tongue.



Update: Charlie had his two-year doctor appointment this morning. We actually DID brave the roads, though, thinking back that maybe have been a little crazy. We were fine. I guess I still have the mentality of the Rocky Mountainers, its snowing but life goes on pretty much as normal, maybe a little slower. But anyway, though Charlie was born at 7 lbs. 9 oz., an average weight, he has consistently stayed under the 5th percentile for height and weight. UNTIL NOW!! He has jumped up to the 10th percentile in weight and we are thrilled. Way to be a big kid, bud!

He is just a cutie. Little ones really loved the snow.
I took Baxter to the Doctor also this morning. I told him that he had to know I loved him to drive out on these roads. It isn't me I worry about it is the crazy drivers that don't know the road is slick.

My 2nd daughter was the same way with her ht and wt. We celebrated when she got in the 10th as well.

How much longer until the baby comes?

Wow! The 10th Percentile! That's awesome, I can't wait for Lily to get onto the chart. She's never been on the chart (for weight), but I still have hope that she will. Charlie looks like he's having a blast. I love the hat.
