Snow Day

I'm so sick of snowblowing. When is this &$#@! winter gonna end?(Greg)

Mush Daddy, Mush! (Gregory)


Let's go make snow angels (Rebecca)

Ok guys, I know I have 4 sisters, but what's with these booties?(Gregory)


We adults might be sick of shoveling, but the kids are having a ball in the snow. Rebecca is a great sledder and makes terrific snow angels. Gregory has tried sledding for the first time this winter and loves it, except when his mittens fall off. He also needs some help walking in it.

Ana's 3rd Birthday

Ana turned 3 last week and had an excellent Birthday party on Feb 3rd at Animal Adventures in Bolton. Here's the video. Sorry there's so many of them - I haven't mastered the video editing thing yet. If anyone knows of good (free) video editing software, let me know.

Happy Feet

Gregory has become quite the dancer. His favorite music is the Sirius Satelite Radio Grateful Dead channel. We got some hilarious video of him executing complex dance moves, which I will post as soons as we get our @!*$%# computer back. These include spinning, knee bends, and the 'Happy Feet' shuffle.

Rebecca and I played 'ghost' with him last night where he would throw a blanket over his head and walk around the living room. We made scary ghost noises and he kept on bumping into the furniture and walls and falling over.

He is kind of a komikozee and one of his favorite pastimes is to sit on the coffee table and fall off the edge and land on his hands. He often lands on his face but doesn't seem to mind since he laughs, and climbs back up to do it again.

Christmas Carols at Nursery School

Rebecca's Nursery School had their Christmas party 12/14/2007, complete with a mini Christmas 'Concert' where the kids sang Christmas carols. Luckily, I caught every 'precious' moment on tape. Enjoy watching our 'camera shy' child. They did miss a couple of days of practice because of snow days, but you can barely tell (not!).

Walking

Gregory suddenly has taken off walking. Now that he knows he can do it his little legs are going all the time. He's saying a couple of words (we think) including "that" (while pointing - we think he's asking what's that?). Lot's of Mommas and Dadas, and "up" whenever he is allowed to climb the stairs. We also thought he was saying "bubba" which is what we call his bottle.

He's broken out in hives today. We took him to the doctor's and it's either an allergic reaction to the antibiotics he was on, or a side effect of his mmr vacine he had a couple of weeks ago. He doesn't seem to bothered by it.

Nursery School

Rebecca has been going to nursery schoool for a few months now. She seems to like it although occasionally she says some of the other kids are mean to her. We carpool with her friend Emma and she loves to play with Emma.

She is very energetic and a lot of fun. She has a lot of trouble listening, especially lately, but is as sweet as can be and a total little love.

I've finally got the video uploaded from her first day of school.

Gregory - 11 Months

Only 9 days until his 11 month birthday and Gregory is doing tons of new stuff. He said his first words "Da Da" and "Mum" and his first sentence "Hi DaDa". Ok - so Greg thinks it was just a random sequence of syllables but I was there. Greg walked into the room and Greogry looked right at him and said "Hi DaDa".

His other favorite activities include watching his big sister, biting, eating cheerios and doing the combat crawl. He pulls himself around on his stomach using his hands and pushes with his toes. He has gotten very fast and likes to race his big sister.
