Snow...and WAY too much of it!

For those of you who do not live near us- February was the month of snow! It lasted about 2 weeks which is almost unheard of in our part of the world! The first time it snowed Jeff still had to work so I took Naomi out. As you can see from the yard we got a little snow, but you can still see the grass. The problem with this first storm is that it was mostly ice...not good for driving! 

Thankfully I had a baby snow suit for Naomi to wear. I first put her on our deck to let her explore the snow. She loved it!



She then found a deck pillow with ice on it. She then crushed the ice...

Then she decided it looked good enough to eat!

Next she explored the grass. It was quite funny watching her try to pick stuff up in those mittens! She was determined though! She eventually picked up a snow covered pine cone and tried to eat that...see a pattern yet? :)

We didn't have any sleds-so a laundry basket had to do! It actually worked our really well because she didn't tilt back in this. As you can see from her face-she had a ball while I pulled her!



The very next week another snow storm came to visit-this one had much more snow!



Because the snow was so bad Jeff's office actually closed so we got to spend the day together!

This time Jeff did the pulling of the 'sled'. Naomi had a ton of fun being pulled and you can tell by her face!




Then I took over...for like 2 minutes and then gave up. I let her crawl around in the snow and we tried to make a snowman. She started to get tired so I only built 1/2 a snow man. That's ok though! We'll have plenty of time to build one another year :)

Happy snow day!

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

21 Weeks Update

I've been really bad about keeping up with these pregnancy pictures...life just gets so crazy sometimes! We had some exciting things happen this week as you can see in the picture. 1- It's a girl! I was completely convinced that we were having a boy. I had boy dreams, no morning sickness, and Jeff comes from a family of 2 brothers and 2 nephews. Needless to say, I was completely shocked! Don't get me wrong, I  am very excited to have a baby girl, just very shocked! 2- I'm halfway through my pregnancy. This is crazy! Time has really been flying! I have a friend at work who is also pregnant and is one day behind me. She brought me a bagel one morning to celebrate our 1/2 way point. This was so needed because I completely forgot to eat breakfast that morning! Thanks Melissa! 3- I play french horn for my church orchestra. My belly is now starting to get in the way of my bell, pushing it out of the way! Our little girl likes to dance a lot when I play. It is...

State Fair

We took our annual State Fair trip. We went on a Friday that I was tracked-out and Jeff took the day off. I was super excited to go because it was Naomi's first time at the fair!  From the moment we walked onto the fairgrounds Naomi couldn't stop staring at all of the people! I had to get a picture of her with the HUGE pumpkin. Of course she was more enthralled with the eggplant... Then we went to look at the animals. She had a better view from on top of Jeff's shoulders: My favorite picture of the day: We went into the bunny building because we obviously love bunnies. They had a Lionhead bunny out that we could pet. As soon as I put Naomi down she started to reach for the bunny. The bunny let Naomi pet her for quite a long time! Naomi laughed, smiled, and giggled the whole time. We could have stayed in there for hours and she'd be entertained! I wish we could have gotten it on video!  Next we stopped for the delicious corn and ...
