February, now March?!

Hey everyone! Well two months have passed again, crazy how that calendar works ;) The month of February was a little crazy in Texas with the ice and snow, I'm sure you saw the Superbowl coverage to know how wonderful it was. School closed for 4 days one week. Soo different from up north! We've also been fighting ear infections and passing colds back and forth but luckily (knocking on wood) the flu passed us by this year.


We are doing pretty well, plenty going on as usual. Spring has arrived here, it's in the 60s and 70s these days. Katelyn is 9 months old and she is pulling up on everything. I predict that we have an early walker on our hands, we shall see. She weighs 21 pounds and is already outgrowing the 12 mo clothing so I've pulled down all of the 18 mo clothes. It's so crazy how fast she's growing! She still doesn't have any teeth which is crazy but they say it's normal for some kids but it makes it hard to feed her certain things. Maya is as sweet as ever, she's very excited for warmer weather and already insists on wearing skirts and dresses everyday - so tights are popular in our house these days. We also signed her up for a dance class to start later this month which she is VERY excited about.


This past Sunday we did some home improvement items around the house since we've decided we're staying put and one of those was to work on the toilet downstairs. Well...bad idea. We were awoken at 1am on Monday to a flooded bathroom and part of the carpet downstairs. We were so grateful that Katelyn woke up crying that night and I heard the water otherwise we would have been in really bad shape the next morning. Even so, we had to clean up the mess and have a plumber come out to fix it and today we had a water restoration company come out to make sure the floors and walls get dried properly so we don't get mold. What a mess! Just when you feel like you're getting ahead...


Well we are looking forward to the springtime as we do every year - I'm sure time will continue to fly by! Here are some new pics.



Look at our big girl! Playing with the play kitchen is a new favorite activity.


Katelyn has adopted one of Maya's favorite pastimes, laundry basket rides. Why do all kids love this?


Us girls just playing around one night...


And here are a couple new videos we've published to Photobucket as well.
