Ice, Ice, Baby

We are finally starting to "melt out" from being iced and snowed in the past few weeks. It has also been so cold here that nothing has melted! Our driveway is as shiny as glass and the kids have had lots of fun 'sledding' down the driveways in the neighborhood! It got so cold the other night that we experienced a rare phenomenon here - a 'frost quake'! I heard a very loud 'boom' in the middle of the night and our neighbors heard the same thing. My friend in Pendleton posted on Facebook that she heard it as well and posted a link about 'frost quakes'.

Last weekend we went with the Ortman's to the Great Wolf Lodge in Cincinnati. The boys had so much fun! Henry loved walking around the water and splashing in the fountains. Jack had a great time going down the slides and playing in the wave pool. Of course, Henry didn't sleep well in the hotel, so it made a long night for me! But since the boys had fun, I had fun! :)

Tonight, Jack read his first bedtime story to us!! He was so proud! (as were we!!) He's doing such a good job with his reading. We are getting ready to sign him up for Kindergarten in a couple of weeks (*sniff sniff*)! I cannot believe my baby boy is ready for school. How time flies.

Henry is trying so hard to talk. He babbles and babbles and tries to make you understand what he's saying. He loves to play peek-a-boo and itsy bitsy spider. He can blow kisses and loves, loves to look at books. He likes to point to pictures and have you name everything. He is starting to know his animal sounds and loves Elmo!

We have another busy weekend coming up soon. We are going snow skiing with Matt's family at Crystal Mountain in Michigan. We went last year and Jack loved it. He will take another ski class with Parks. Henry is going to spend the weekend with Mamaw and Papaw. He will have much more fun there and Mommy and Daddy will have a much more relaxing time!!

It is supposed to warm up to 50 degrees this week and I, for one, cannot wait! I hope you are staying warm this winter. Enjoy our pictures!
