Lots of snow and lots of babies!!

This morning we woke up to a winter wonderland! It's snowing like crazy here, so we are enjoying a snow day at home. We just measured and we have ~6 1/2 inches and it's still coming down!

This morning we played outside for a while with Maddie and her parents. Waylon went in to work for a bit this afternoon, so we are anxiously awaiting his safe return later on. Noah and I have some company though... my mom is here. She was spending some time at my Gramma's house trying to get things sorted out there this past weekend. She came through here on Thursday night and was planning to come back on her way home but came a little early because of the threat of snow. Here are some pictures!!


Sharing a snack after playing in the snow!

Working backwards in time, we had a fun low key week and weekend close to home. A few of my girlfriends get together on Thursdays to eat dinner and watch Grey's Anatomy. Last week, I hosted 'Grey's night' here, so that was fun. My mom joined us as well and helped put Noah to bed so Waylon was able to go out with some coworkers to celebrate his new job.

Friday was Noah's 18 month doctor's appointment. He got a clean bill of health except for another sty... we are on more drops and hoping to knock it out this time. If not, we have to go to an ophthalmologist... doesn't that sound fun?? Stats for those who are interested.... overall, a big boy - as usual!

28 lbs, 15 oz - 75-90th percentile
33 1/2 inches - 75th-90th percentile
head - 50 1/4 cm - >95th percentile

Some other cute pictures from the week...

Of course Grammy had to bring Noah a new toy - a Wiggles guitar!
Watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse - Noah now asks for this show by name!


And the big news of the week - my friend Keri had her triplets last Sunday - Abigail, Bethany, and Phoebe. Amazingly, they are all doing great and only Phoebe had to spend a few days in the NICU - only because she was a little small. They were 4lbs,3oz, 4lbs,9oz, and 5 lbs,3 oz! All came out breathing on their own, regulating their own temperatures and had a great appetite right away! And the most amazing thing - all three babies went home with Keri and Chris when they left the hospital on day 4!! Big sister, Lydia, was excited to have everyone home. I can't wait to go see them again - we are so happy for them!

Today, we have been enjoying the snow and having fun watching history on TV! Noah waved and said 'Hi' to the Obamas as they were waving to the crowd and then he started cheering right after he was sworn in. :-)

Hope you all are enjoying your day - snow day or not! :-)

Cute pics! Gotta love that Mickey - "hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog!" :) Oh, and a somewhat delayed "congrats!" to Waylon! Sorry, I'm behind on my blog reading :)
