February

Well, I am certainly tired of the zero degree weather! I am getting cabin fever!

We've been riding bikes, pretending to be all kinds of animals; however, kitties or horsies are our pet of choice at this time. Chris will be visiting next week--we'll see if his little sister will warm up to him again! Grandpa made it back from Texas and had to come over to do daycare his second day back in Minnesota! Mitchell stuck pretty close to Grandpa--he even sleeps with Grandpa when the kids stay over night at Grandma and Grandpa's house! They are buddies and it is AWESOME! Mitchell had pre school screening this week and did just fine after he warmed up. He recognized Julie, the school nurse I work with and after she bribed him with a couple chapsticks he participated in all the screenings! Maria is using the potty chair more than Mitchell and she is learning lots of new words! She loves her Gramma and Grandpa--since Mitchell sleeps with Grandpa, Maria gets to sleep with Grandma. Maria cries when I come to take them home! She wouldn't even let me get her out of her crib after her nap--she cried for Grandma! I sure love being closer to them--I'm pretty sure the kids love it too!
