Weathering the Weather

We woke up this morning to almost 2" of snow on the ground...and still more snow falling at the time. It finally quit around lunch time and right now it is all melted! Crazy Colorado. Frankly, I'm tired of being cold, and good thing it is supposed to be 70 tomorrow.

So I guess it is safe to say that with two posts on the weather that there really isn't much going on with us. But here is a quick update on some things I've been meaning to post about but either forgot or....well, now I've forgotten why I didn't post them!

Olivia - she is super cute but we all know that. I am amazed at her curly hair and I really think she is looking more and more like how I remember Uncle Justin as a baby,. For some reason I can only picture Justin with a furrowed brow and I think he had curls as a baby too, but not sure. Anyways, Olivia also likes to sport the furrowed brow look, either because she doesn't want to try a food you offer her, or someone named Annie took away a toy. She also falls asleep with a furrowed brow.

She is working on using her brain more too. Just this morning she tired to put her own shoes on. She also brings me my shoes if she wants to go outside. If you ask her where is Dada, she will point to Dad, Where's Annie...she knows that one too. Where is Bailey? Points to the dog and says "Ba". Where is Momma!!! Blank stare....no brain activity. I personally thinks she does this because Olivia and I are so close that in Olivia's opinion, we are in fact one in the same. Olivia = Momma. The question just doesn't make sense to her. Why would they ask her where is Momma, when everyone knows the answer.

Annie - she is super fun lately. Always thinking....thinking of ways to try and gain the upper hand in every situation. Like if she doesn't want to pick something up after I ask her, she will lean away from it and reach out an arm, and claim that she can't reach it. Or she will "fall down" and won't be able to get up. Of course she's smart in an amusing way also. Over the weekend I told her a story of how a baby Robin flew down our chimney a few years ago and how Grandma caught it and threw it out to the worried Momma Robin. Her response to that was, "We should put a bird stop sign on our chimney so the birds don't go down there again." Brilliant!

Tim - he is trying to find time to study for the LEEDS exam. I'm not sure exactly what it is, some sort of green building exam for nerds. He's taking it while the girls and I are in Ohio for my Grandpa's 90th birthday and Bonnie's wedding shower.

Reynee - For some silly reason, I thought it would be a good idea to sign up to be part of a relay team for the Colfax Marathon. So I haven't seriously ran anywhere since the 8th grade when our Nazi gym teacher made us do the positive addition run. I'm not sure why they called it the positive addition race because really it kinda ruined running for me for the last 20 years....made it more of a negative thing. Anyways, I'm chugging along...slowly. I take Bailey out running with me sometimes. Well, what I should say is that I run while he walks. Show off!
