Snow play with Lillian

Lillian was so delighted by the snow this morning. We were already running late, but I had to let her play in the snow a bit before we headed off to school. 

Lillian's Singing Minnie Mouse

Lillian found the Minnie Mouse that KD got her for her 1st birthday. She was delighted and running around signing and singing. I looked for an old video of her playing with it when she first got it, she was obsessed for months, but I couldn't find it. Here is one of her playing with it now at least. If anyone has a picture of baby Lillian with Minnie send it to me!

Got some time outside playing with Lillian.

Swimming Lesson Update

We have been taking swimming lessons for 2 months now on Saturday mornings. The kids have changed a lot. Lillian started loving the lessons and has recently turned into a grouch who won't even try most of the time. Simon started terrified of putting any of his head into the water and he's awesome about trying and learning now. We're working toward a goal of swimming by our early April visit to Arizona! 

Looking cool in his goggles.
Simon is the kid staring at me in blue long sleeves.

February Pictures

Lots of laughter and some fun dancing this month.

We had a thunderstorm last night. Lillian was scared of the thunder so we cranked up some Michael Jackson for a dance party. They are still to little to look for my sneaky plans behind the plans! Here's a video of the dance party. Had to get Lillian's hair do and outfit on camera. To be clear, that is not how we sent her to school - she got spilled on and this is a set of backup clothing. And Ms Lina did her hair in 5 different ponytails and only a couple managed to stay in until dinner.

Eating Milano Cookies for the first time.
