This picture is from last summer, from the twin’s birthday party. JJ let Arin take a cruise in his Powerwheels… and as you can see he had a great time! (He actually wasn’t screaming, I think his jaw was just open from awe at how fun it was.) Now this year he has his own Powerwheels! His is a toddler-sized one, so it’s smaller and it’s a fire truck instead of a Jeep. I can’t wait until the snow is gone and he can plow through the yard. I hope to get more ‘aaaah!’ pictures then. 🙂

I just love how chubby he looks in his snow stuff. And I love his little lumberjack shirt, especially with the snowpants! Doesn’t he look like he’s about to go chop down some trees? I feel like I should send him out with a thermos and a hard metal lunch box. Awwwwwwwr! There’s my little baby again!

I took a few pictures out the window this morning. It was a good thing too, because now the snow is starting to fall. Not from the sky, from all the pine needles and tiny branches. Rather like it’s snowing again, but just where trees are. Notice the basketball hoop at the bottom to show scale: Hopefully it will all fall off today and then melt before sundown. 🙂I guess I will miss snow a tiny bit… by the time next Christmas rolls around.

Yesterday we had about 8 inches of snow. I would like to point out that on the news, our town was listed as the highest snowfall in the entire area by an inch… fantastic. Not so much. The snow was heavy and wet and we had to shovel it out of the driveway. I did this right before physical therapy, which my therapist found pretty funny (and dumb). I didn’t even get another snow day at school! That was pretty lame, but Lowell didn’t get nearly as much snow as we did. Plus, I did get last Monday off and…

This outfit just never gets old! I still think its funny every time I put it on him. (And it’s sort of true, too…) Unfortunately we’ve had it since Halloween and the elastic on the pants is starting to stretch out… pretty soon they’ll be falling off! Notice that he is trying to grab something off the counter (probably chocolate) when he knows he should not be up there. Those little ears and adorable tail do it for me every time. I’m sure he’ll love these pics when he’s older!

Today was a beautiful day, for early March anyway… here in our yard it was 60 degrees.. apparently elsewhere in town where it’s not an icebox enclosed by trees and a yard full of 2ft of snow it was even warmer and people were walking around in just t-shirts. Oh, the joy. Spring, please stay, we need no more nights of 15 degree arctic displays, thanks. I didn’t bring out my camera, but Arin looked totally adorable. There is this one ‘island’ of orange pine needles and fallen twigs near the edge of the yard that’s free of snow, so…

Yesterday morning Bobo got up earlier than usual so I guess he was pretty sleepy all morning. He was sitting on my lap at the computer and we were looking at pictures of Chateaux in the Loire Valley and saying a few french words. Arin put both his hands on the desk and leaned his chin on it too to see the pictures more closely, I thought. Then I realized he had stopped chattering, and I leaned over… to discover the little muffin had fallen asleep right there on the desk! So adorable. Luckily my camera was sitting just above…
