SNOW!!


We have been waiting all winter for snow and it finally arrived!!! Friday night it started to fall and continued through the day on Saturday. It was a mix of snow and sleet and covered everything in a blanket of white, SOOO BEAUTIFUL!! Miguel and Susanna went exploring and playing each morning and even went sledding together. It is not great packing snow but GREAT sledding snow.




It is WAY too cold for Noah so he and I have been watching all the fun from the window. He did venture out for a few minutes just to take a few pics in the snow but then it was back inside again for us!




It has been fun being stuck at home this weekend. Miguel and I are winter people and are soooo happy to see snow this year and to be able to share the fun with Susanna. Next year Noah will be old enough to play too and big sister Susanna will be able to show him the way!


This upcoming Friday Noah will be 4 weeks old! I am amazed at how quickly the time is passing. He really is growing and changing everyday. Next week will be his 1-month appointment and I am really excited to see how much he weighs. He is really getting cute and chubby!! He still only sleeps 3 hour blocks at night, sometimes even less :( I wish I could say I am getting adjusted to the lack of sleep but I am not! I hope he soon drops a nighttime feeding or just starts sleeping longer... come on buddy, give me at least a 4-5 hour block PLEASE!!! Otherwise he is really a great baby and LOVES his big sister! Susanna always wants to be around her "baby Noah" and loves tickling him on his belly. It is really cute watching the two together... I love being a mom of two!




Starting next week I am going to try and get back to our normal routine of Susanna's playgroups and normal activities. I am realistic and know that we wont be able to do it all, but am hoping to get her out of the house at least twice a week! The past few weeks we haven't been ready to leave the house until about 10:30, which is about 30 min late to playgroup and an hour late to library. Hopefully next week I will find a way to move us along a little faster so we can be on time!!

Susanna has FINALLY allowed me to start styling her hair... our favorite is pigtails, DON'T YOU LOVE IT?!?!
