Time with the Munchkin During the Storm

At least the blizzards allowed for some opportunities to hang out with the munchkin.

All my babies!!

I forced Tom to smile for a picture but then everyone else looked away... oh well.
An afternoon nap...

A Blizzard We'll Never Forget

The 30+ inches of snow that we got from February 9-11th. As the snow melted over the following week, the icycles above the front door were over 6 ft long and nearly touched the drifts below. They were about 5 inches in diameter at the top. Crazy!

The view when I opened the back door of the garage. The drifting was so high back there that you can't see our table/chairs or the hot tub.
This was the first pass of the snow blower. It left about 4-5 inches of snow behind that we had to go back over and re-blow because the snow was so high.

That's our mailbox out there. And that was before the snow plow came through and buried it.

The view when we opened the garage door. Fortunately my car was in the garage but Tom's Sequoia is too tall to pull in so it becomes quite a pain to clean off.

Cookie Monster

Maddie enjoyed her first cookie... and then an immediate dip in the bathtub. I also included a picture of me when I was 9 months old eating my first cookie. Can you tell which one is me??

Like mother... like daughter... We both love our cookies! Num num num num num ;-)

All the Kids Playing Together

I love that Madison and the puppies get along so well. I try to get them to play together every evening and tonight they were especially cute so I snapped a ton of pictures... Enjoy!

To me, this picture looks so much like Tom.

Hilarious!! She uses her stool to stand up and then pound all her toys against them. She loves when things make noise... just like Daddy!

This one is so devious... but totally cute too.

Half her time banging toys together and the other half of the time she tastes all of her toys.

My little girls play together! Love it!

Eating

The puppies lie in wait... knowing that eventually a piece of food will drop.

Zoey decides to be clever... just in case the food somehow falls through the seat.
And of course... Maddie never fails to wind up with puffs stuck everywhere.

Tonight she tried "real food" (pears) for the first time... She seemed to enjoy them... and thank goodness for the bowl with the suction cup bottom.
