being Andrew.

Found him in the kids music bin. One leg stuck on the edge of the box, but he was happy as can be, having a great time. He'd been there at least 10 minutes before I took these pictures:







I can't help it, I thought this picture was cute:





Climbing up to sister's doll house, to play peek-a-boo through the windows:




77 Martin Street

We have a new address! Well, sort of... see below for more details.

Scott and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary on February 13th. Grandma & Grandpa B. came to hang out with the kids while we had dinner at Rosa Rosa, followed by a cask-conditioned beer at Iron Hill (which, incidentally, is where we had our anniversary dinner last year... of course last year, I couldn't have a beer, I was still VERY pregnant!)

By the time we got home Andrew was sound asleep, but Evyn was
watching the Olympics with Grandma & Grandpa, and cheering
excitedly for Apolo Ohno!



The next morning, Andrew - half boy, half puppy- found the boots that I'd worn the night before, and decided to chew on them:


We celebrated Valentine's day the way most normal, romantic couples would... (ha!).... installing a new hot water heater!

Evyn and I made off with the box the new hot water heater came in and, after some paint and some decorating, it became.... 77 Martin Street:



Both kids have been getting a lot of use out of their new "house;" Andrew is particularly fond of going in, and out, and in, and out, of the door.

climb every... bathroom???

Last week I was intermittently folding laundry, and watching Evyn from our bedroom window as she played in the back yard.



After a while I spied her doing this:



That's right.... she stuck her head IN the wall of snow!
(I uploaded a video of it to my facebook account)

That gave Andrew the time to go exploring.
Remember my post about how he likes to climb?
Well....






Weird kids.

Wonderfully so.

snow aftermath

These pictures were taken more than a week ago.
Several sunny days have melted much of it, but we still have more than a foot of it around our home!

Evyn went out to find our vegetable garden.
There is a fence around it, just in front of where she is standing (you can see a tiny bit of it in the center of the picture).



Then she settled into a lawn chair to watch her Daddy make paths to the shed and the basement door with the snowblower:





Andrew is not a fan of snow. Which is fine by me - one less little person to wriggle in and out of soggy boots and snowsuits. He did enjoy watching Scott & Evyn from the comfort of his high chair:
