Winter Wonderland

Last week there was a touch of spring in the air, but yesterday we had yet another snow storm and this morning we woke up to a winter wonderland in our back yard. What a gorgeous day! I've given up on short, frequent blogs and will now attempt longer blogs about once a month. Its amazing how much Rachel and Carson can change in a month, so I hope you will indulge my longer blogs.



Carson loves to look out the window and is constantly pulling himself up to the windows to look out. Here he is taking in the scenery while Rachel mimics him.



Carson has traded in his military style crawl for the more traditional crawl up on all fours. He can really get around and is amazingly fast. I can't take my eye off of him for a second!







Carson's new favorite activity is opening the kitchen cabinets and spilling the contents onto the floor. Fortunately we have locks on most cabinets and he knows which ones he is allowed to play in. At least it keeps him occupied while I fix meals.



Rachel continues to love stuffed animals almost more than any other toy. She loves to make a big pile of them and pretend to sleep. She also takes care of them with her play doctor set and occasionally one will even get a band aid.



John caught this precious photo of Rachel sleeping last week when she was a bit under the weather. She normally would not sleep through someone walking into her room (she is a very light sleeper) but last week she was extra tired and seemed to sleep through anything.



Phew, that was a long blog. If you are still with me I have one more milestone to share. This past month Rachel started saying "I love you Mommy" and "I love you Daddy". Hearing those words come out of her mouth melted my heart and almost brought tears to my eyes. One of those treasured moments of parenthood.

They are beautiful! And getting so big. I am glad to see that everything is going so well in the Andrews household.
