Valentine's Day and Snow!

My days are running together at this point! I can't remember if it snowed before or after Valentine's day so I am just going to post pictures from both.

AK had a party at school and got all kinds of V-Day goodies!

she also got some goodies from us :)

she got a "no spill" bubble container that I hope will work!!

Anna Kate also got to experience her first real snow recently. We have had some snow before but this was the first time for her to actually be able to get out and play in it. It all started on a Saturday afternoon (I think!) and was melted by Sunday afternoon! We did get enough to play in, I think she had a good time!

checking things out!



ready to make a snowman.....


and snow angels!!

Mimi is a Trooper!

Mimi had knee replacement surgery a few weeks ago and has done so well! We are so proud of her! Anna Kate wanted to get in on some of the action and help Mimi with her physical therapy so she adds a little weight to her walker and helps her count while doing stretches!

A little extra motivation for Mimi!

Keep up the good work Mimi!! We love you :)

2 1/2

Anna Kate turned 2 1/2 on February 5th. This post is going to have A LOT of pictures of our sweet girl and what she is up to these days. We love every minute with her and each day is definitely a new adventure!

reading is probably your favorite thing to do and you have several of your books memorized and like to "read" to me

eating is always a challenge......some days you eat everything in sight and others NOTHING!!

you are very interested in everything around you and just recently has taken interest in everybody's name. You asks me all the time about random people we pass "What's his name??"

we kept your tree up a little longer than the other decorations

you will sit still (most of the time) for a movie or tv show.....this was at Disney on Ice

Rucker John's is your most favorite restaurant....everybody there knows you and the manager always makes you fried pickles!!

You go to preschool 2 days a week and absolutely love it! Mrs. Z told me this is one of your favorite activities.....the sticky wall

dum dums are your favorite treat and you are now tall enough to reach that shelf in the pantry

your new favorite thing is to do something silly and then say"Can you take my picture??"

you are very independent always saying "Let me do it!"

you love sweets like mommy and daddy and like to help cook and wash dishes

you can work an ipad better than most adults....on this particular day you told me you were "checking your email" :)

I love this picture! It sums up your personality....sweet and sassy!

you love to be outside


you now know how to blow bubbles instead of just putting the wand in your mouth!!



You are such a blessing! We can't wait to see each new day with you and watch you grow and learn. We know you will be a great big sister!! We love you AK!
