Discovery of a sister

Let this day be remembered as the day Josie discovered that she has a sister that she can play with. Big day around here!

Audrey wasn't quite as excited about it but she's slowly figuring out that this is just how it is. Someday, surely, she'll enjoy it too.

What a great way to start the day (especially since my coffee cup is still half full).

So crafty

I sent my grandpa a birthday card and got a little carried away on the back of the envelope...

To be fair, Josie also colored on the inside of the card (intentionally) so it wasn't just me! Hope my 85 year old grandpa can appreciate it!

Snowed In

It's not actually true, that we were snowed in, but it seemed close enough to the truth.

We were stir crazy so outside we went! I even forced Audrey to come, and although she didn't scream her head off, I don't think she was pleased with the whole ordeal.

I strapped her on with our baby bjorn and pulled Josie around our yard and driveway using our sled. She L-O-V-E-D IT. So funny! I would ask her if she wanted to be done or go inside and she'd say "No?" over and over just in case I misunderstood. She's a hoot.

Her reaction to going outside is pretty much the same as Buckley's. Ears perked, energy level raised, racing to the door in excitement. Too bad we have a hundred winter items to put on before we can actually go outside.

After we were done "sledding", she plopped down to make snow angels unintentionally. She has no idea what a real snow angel is, but I figured this was close enough. I wasn't about to show her with Audrey strapped to me and sub par winter gear on. 

It was fun! It also may have been the last time we'll get to go outside for a while as the temps seem to be going down again. Glad we could get out while we could.

Weekend.

Great dinner with friends that we only get to see twice a year. I love when you don't miss a beat and can pick up where we left off last time.

Church, nursery duty, bonding with kids. Always fun.

A solo jog with the big black dog. He loved it, I surprisingly enjoyed it, will happen again. Soon.

Time with my sister, time as a family, playing in the snow, laughing together. Awesome.

Great weekend, wouldn't trade it for anything.
