Hey, it does snow in Rexburg

After a disgustingly mild winter we got a fair amount of snow on the ground yesterday and today, and Lizzie wasn't about to let the opportunity for snowman construction pass. 

And, her snowman building skills are coming along nicely.  She rolled this one entirely by herself:

Until it got a little too big.

At some point, Lizzie and I joked about building a snow puppy instead of a snowman, so we had to give it a try.  Lizzie seemed to like it:

So much so that she gave it a hug that ended up in a beheading:

Building snowmen is hard work:

But there's always a little bit of energy left for snow angels:

The snowman family:

Joe had a birthday last month

We will get this up to some sort of up-to-date status at some point (probably just as the baby is born and any semblance of control in our lives disappears completely).

Here are a couple quick pics of Lizzie helping to decorate some cupcakes and helping to open the presents.  She's a great helper.

It's a BOY!!!

I'd publish the proof, but that may be too graphic for sensitive eyes. :) Plus, the cd of ultrasound pics is way across the room and why would I want to get up off the couch?

I guess that Bernat jacquard floral baby blanket I started knitting a month or so ago isn't going to be for this baby. The yarn looked so enticing at the time and I've been thinking girl ever since. Wrong. Sorry buddy- we'll work something out between now and your arrival. And I'll stop referring to you as she. Luckily your hearing is still developing so you shouldn't be too put out.

Hope you all have a great week! We will be discussing names and starting to think about scrounging up a boy wardrobe.  One thing we don't have to worry about obtaining: superhero toys. Yup, we already had a lifetime supply of those even before Lizzie came along. That's just how we roll around here.
