New Videos

I took three videos of Davis/Tarzan today.  Two in the snow and one playing on his bed.

Davis helps clean the driveway:

Our first kids

Grandma and Grandpa's recent visit highlighted just how much our first kids have been neglected in terms of blog posts and pictures.  So here are a few recent pictures of the first kids.  We love them very much.

They find ways to make themselves comfortable despite Davis' toys:


You can tell this was taken during Davis' nap because Lilly isn't hidding


They are still best buddies



Even though, sometimes they try to eat each other (Domino was actually yawning)


Domino still enjoys sitting on the drying rack.  He has done this since the first or second day we brought him home:




Sick day, snow day

Davis came down with a virus on Monday that had him home from daycare early and out sick Tuesday.  We had about 18 inches of snow today and daycare was closed.  Over the last two days, we have had a lot of unexpected Davis time, which means, lots of pictures.

Yesterday, when he was sick, we took some pictures of his favorite trucks:



Then we made truck stew:


Today, we went outside in the snow:


But, monkey had to stay in


We went for a sled ride and walk around the neighborhood


And Davis helped us shovel the driveway


Later, I built a snow cave in the front yard using the pile of snow from the driveway:


Many of the neighbors were impressed with my "Snow Fort".  However, I would like to point out, that you could sleep in there if you needed to.


When we were inside, we still had a lot of fun.  Davis stacked pegs:


We played with a very cute Domino


Wrestled with Monkey


And sat in a box

1:16 pm - Run back to bed.  Cry a little bit.  Talk to yourself for a while.  Look out your window and see garbage trucks in front of the house.  Talk a little bit more.
