Snow adventure

The first week of February, we had four snow days in a row, Tuesday-Friday. FOUR. It was great! Especially as I was at a conference that Monday, so had a nine day break from school. YES. It was very therapeutic.

Anyway, it was so bitterly cold that I couldn't take Lincoln out until that Thursday, Feb. 3rd. Then I decided I just couldn't take it anymore, bundled him up so tightly that he sort of reminded me of the little brother in A Christmas Story, and out we went to risk hypothermia for his first snow adventure!!

All ready to go! At least Lincoln can mostly put his arms down:

Digging & throwing:

Link had a BLAST shoveling & filling his bucket!:

In fact, Link had so much fun that my mom took him out a second time when she came over. And he had SO much fun shoveling the snow with her that he threw a monster fit when it was time to come in. It was the first real tantrum Mom had witnessed from him. Lucky Grandma!

After he calmed down, we made sugar cookies. It was so much fun, and Lincoln did a great job!

Rollin' rollin' rollin':

Cutting out the cookies was fun!:

We were all three exhausted after our day o' fun. It was great!

Baby boy ultrasound pics

Both from the ultrasound a couple of weeks ago when we found out he's a boy!

Notice how much his wee profile looks like Lincoln's? They have the same nose!

Christmas photos, belatedly

Better late than never!

Our first decent family photo since last Christmas!

Now if I can only get George to take off his hat.

Best part of Christmas morning: playing in the wrapping paper!

Lincoln's monkey hat and mittens:

And his "Home Alone" impression:

Such a big boy!
