winter wonderland

highlights from our adventures in 18 inches of snow...

jacob wasn't so sure about it at first. can't really blame him, since he was knee deep in the white stuff and couldn't manage to even walk around

this will give you an idea of how high the snow was...at our back door

andrew and derek built a snow fort/igloo

andrew enjoyed sledding for the first time...and even tried it by himself (which he loved!)

jacob has officially left the "baby look" behind and is sporting a new toddler haircut. at 18 months (on andrew's bday actually) jacob had his first haircut. i must admit, i was a bit nervous going into it, since andrew's 1st haircut was a miserable experience for all parties involved. in true jacob spirit, he didn't cry at all...and gave us some big smiles along the way.


as one might expect, the locks of love that were shed from jacob's head, have yet to make it into his baby book. POOR SECOND CHILD!

fire, fire...

WOW...what a day! we celebrated andrew's 5th birthday with a fireman theme...complete with "tape the badge on the fireman", "stop drop and roll (like freeze dance)", a special cake made by derek...and the highlight of the day... A VISIT FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT!

andrew had a fantastic time with his friends and family. he told me tonight, that this was the best birthday party ever! i am SO glad he enjoyed it. i absolutely can not believe andrew is going to be 5 next week...where does time go?!?! i almost shed a tear tonight, when filling out the 5th birthday page in his baby book, b/c i turned the page to find that this was the LAST page in the book!!! so...we're off to start a new chapter...and i'll be off to buy a "not so baby book" to journal the memories along the way.

enjoy the pics....
