Click to open larger picture I love this color picture so much, I made a new category of photos on the upper right side called ‘Favorite Images’, so I can bundle all my favorite solo images for everyone to see easily.  This was taken September 2nd but the weather was still so summery and warm.  The yard at the new house is perfect for summer days and running outside, Matt and Arin were kicking around a bouncy ball and splattering a giant mushroom. You can see the sky is starting to turn red and orange from the sunset and we’re…

Taken by Grampy after he set up one of Arin’s birthday presents for him… Arin loves all the gear even if its still too big for him!  He’s incredibly good on the bike, he apparently had lots of practice at daycare.  Note he just happens to be wearing his ‘scary skull shirt’ this day too… makes him look so much bigger than just barely 4! 

Click for full-size! Taking a nice bath in his very own bathtub at the new house… eventually he’ll have the whole bathroom to himself when we finally get the master bedroom settled in.  For now he has to share though, but the tub is so nice and clean now it doesn’t matter, and there’s tons of space to play with his bath time Thomas trains!

Finally we have some good news in the midst of all these winter blizzards… Punxsutawney Phil told the world that he did not see his shadow and we will have an early spring!  Now that is a Groundhog Day worth celebrating! To watch the video of the whole ceremony, click here: http://www.pacast.com/display_media_production_id.asp?production_id=8626  Phil doesn’t make his appearance until 2/3 of the way through, but it’s worth it because he’s so cute!  I love that the town keeps the traditional procession to Gobbler’s Knob alive and even dress the part. They have a great website explaining all things Groundhog Day at…

Apparently in some parts snowpants are known as snow-bibs.  This is apparently because some have the top part that zips up like a vest under your coat?  We always just called them all snowpants… anyway, this year I had one heck of a time finding any kids snowpants anywhere!  I waited until Christmas time and then it was too late.  Everyone seemed to be sold out or only stocking $100+ designer snow wear …crazy!   Finally I managed to track down some camping outlet online that still had some in stock…and they were a good price too.  They turned out…

They say this year will be a record-breaker for snow in New England.  Personally I’m pretty much done with it, but Bobo absolutely loves it.  He is such a snow baby!  Lucky for him we’re supposed to get another foot tomorrow (after 6 inches today!).  That groundhog better give us some good news tomorrow!

No snow here yet but this video sure puts me in the mood to go sledding!  And also makes me want to curl up by a fire, brrrrr!
