As I think the whole world knows, the northeast has had lots of snow and some frigid temperatures. Here we are all bundled up to prove it. I can't tell you how glad I am that Gianna's bus stop is just yards from our front door and I can leave the boys at home for 3 minutes while I take her there. (Don't worry, Joe is always safely strapped in his high chair while I'm gone and Mark kindly entertains him there!)
I almost didn't buy Joe any major winter gear since last winter was so mild, but I'm sure glad I did, for both practical and cuteness reasons.
He's always happy when Gianna gets home.
Joe is always sneaking into silly places. Here he is under the kids table with cheerios on his chin.
I said this on Facebook, but I'll say it again. I think he's too happy for the dark side.
Here's the proof of all our snow.
He says, "Look people! I can stand!"
Gianna started fencing lessons. How cool is that? She's the little one. The coach is so good! Firm but kind and has high expectations. It's amazing how much and how fast she is learning.
In other news, we've decided to put our house on the market and look for a home closer to Doug's work. The commute is getting to be too much for all of us. Rather than wait till summer and potentially miss out on a great buyer for our home and finding the perfect new home, we decided to go for it now. If we have to move during the school year, we will. I definitely have mixed feelings about this. I love our little town and especially love our neighbors. I can't even bring myself to think about how much I will miss it all when/if we move.
