Winter has arrived!

I feel like a kid again, but I was as excited as the kids about the big snowstorm and ensuing snow day yesterday.  Something about having a surprise day free from normal responsibilities is fun!  We spent much of the day playing outside, shoveling, sledding, going for walks and drinking lots of hot cocoa.

The snow day was welcome after a busy (and fun) week of birthday celebrations and getting back into routine after all the illnesses.

Happy Birthday to our nephew Elliot!

Family b-day dinner at Koto

Everyone was thoroughly entertained at the hibachi table, especially Noah!

Noah went for his first visit to the dentist - just went for a ride in the chair with Mommy.  Next time, it'll be his turn for a cleaning!

Noah has also had so many funny mispronunciations and one-liners lately that I have to share a few of our favorites:

  • Gaga Wady (Lady Gaga)
  • Saided - "No, Daddy said-ed that I could!"
  • Chubby Chubby ice cream (Chubby Hubby from Ben & Jerry's)
  • Favorite songs are straight from church - Alleluia, Holy Holy, and Standin' in the Need of Prayer, and he still plays drums obsessively (he even used his chop sticks at Koto for makeshift drumming)!
