Making Tracks

There are indeed benefits to living in a snow globe. Adelaide's view wasn't as good as her parents, but she seemed to enjoy the ride... and look at her ski tracks!

First Ski

The only skiing that happened that day was Adelaide "skiing" to her papa to pick her UP!

Maybe next time...

It's a Family Affair

Mama Anne and Papa Patrick pulling their fair share of weight in the relationship (literally).

Kid and Cat

Is it so wrong to wish your child slept as much as your cat? We are having a battle of will at night and nap time. We are both tired. Funny thing is, when Adelaide is tired, her energy level seems to rise, whereas mine plummets. Guess who has more fun playing?

Adelaide had her wellness check up. All is indeed well. She's a whopping 26lbs (no wonder my back hurts) and 33 inches long. Yes, her head is still off the chart.

Yes, We Can

Still reveling from Inauguration. Feeling hopeful about the future.

Indoor Days

It has been a while since we posted. Hmmm...what has been going on?

Snow. Snow. Cold temps. Cold temps.

(Like -6, 6, 11).

Snow.

We have had quite a few indoor days.

I promise, Adelaide wasn't posing for this picture. I know it's hard to see, but the book is called "A Snowy Day". That about sums it up!

Now and Then

Not much going on here. Adelaide has been sick for a few days, but seems on the mend. There is a thin layer of ice outside. For the first time ever, Loki walked faster than me this morning (he was slipping a bit, too). Our new videos are not uploading to the blog, so here is a now and then picture taken one year apart.

Say Cheese

Adelaide practicing her smile for the camera.

"He's lost his EYES"

Last Wednesday it snowed and snowed. Voila, our first snowman! Poor guy didn't have much of a chance. He was significantly smaller each day, losing his nose one day, his eyes the next, and then his mouth. Come to think of it, I am not sure where that hat is. Adelaide is still obsessing a bit over these lost facial extremities. When Adelaide needs to announce things, her cadence changes and she puts great emphasis on the last word of her phrase/sentence. So we have been hearing (in reference to the snowman), "lost his NOSE" or "he's lost his EYES" for the past several days....

Christmas in Richmond

Here are a few photos from our wonderful time in Richmond with grandma/pa McCann, the Sullivans, and Auntie & Rob. The weather was warm. We saw good friends and relaxed.
We had some technical difficulties early on, but Grandma/pa Claus got Patrick a new video camera--so we will upload some new videos soon. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.
