The big 4!! Preschool next Fall and big girl bikes! Four years ago I had my little five pounders and life changed completely. The first 9 months were such a blur, I wish I could go back as a rested and less overwhelmed person to live those newborn moments again. I’m so happy with how my girls are turning out. They are so different from each other. Tavie is quirky and brainy, Kira is caring and more physically coordinated. They are the best of friends and play together so well it’s unbelievable.
I am so proud of my beautiful girls and am so looking forward to our journeys together.

The sun did not shine. It was too cold to play. So we sat in the house all that cold, cold, cold day. What do you do with kids in Minnesota when it’s -10 out and you don’t want to leave the house? We dress up, we bake, we play hide and seek, we read, we do art projects, we play simon says with our stuffed animals, we make obstacle courses…..we drive our Mommy crazy a little bit, too.
We dream of warm days and beaches and bikes.

Oh February. We are in the thick of Winter and hibernation is in full swing. The twins have their 4th birthday this month. That will be fun. The gobs of snow that we’ve had this winter is now deeper than the mailboxes and I’m ready for Spring. Blayne named Gwenie Ruby and she is doing quite well. She loves our morning walks and I’m able to bring her further and further each morning. She does not do so great off leash when we are down at the lake (she likes to chase after deer or visit the ice-fishermen) but we are working on it. When we got her they said she wouldn’t play with toys or chew on bones (probably because she was never given the opportunity to do these things) but we’ve got her doing both now. I’d say that is a positive sign she is happy here.
Finnegan loves Thomas so much he has to use his train to eat his spaghetti. The boy is obsessed with trains.
The clean up.
The three stooges. This picture cracks me up because the kids all have the same look on their faces.
The girls are all in the Dance for Fun program at the Chanhassen Rec Center. They had their Winter Showcase this past weekend, which is a practice round for the big recital in the Spring. Everyone did a fantastic job. It was very cute!
