It's No-ing!

Daniel was the most excited about the snow when we woke up this morning.  He can actually tell you what color it is and that it is coming down from the sky.  He does have a tendency to drop letters when he talks, but it is fun to have a conversation with him and to understand things like the food is in his tummy, and his new cars are in the basement, and that Rachel is sleeping.  

Here is a picture out our back window this morning, and Rachel is looking at our friend the squirrel.  I am beginning to feed the wildlife in our back yard and it is fun to watch the kids get excited to see the birds and squirrels.  Rachel seems to have a special love for animals, we saw a dog going on a walk this morning, and I think she was personally offended the dog didn't want her to pet it.  

We put our Christmas decorations up yesterday, during the Virginia Tech/BC football game, and it was fun to see the decorations, and fun that VT won.  There isn't a Christmas tree in our home, space is limited and the kids seem to try to tear apart all the Christmas trees we see out and about, so we have this display, and it has become our own tradition.  It is child-proof, displays all the ornaments, pretty, and I don't have to be in the room at all times when the kids are there.  I think it is interesting that some traditions grow from necessity, as in this case for us.  
We are on the look out for a bunk bed for the kids.  Daniel is getting big for his toddler bed, and so we are rethinking the sleeping arrangements.  I also have my first Dr's appointment this week, and Kevin begins his new job as a government employee.  He even has his own office, for the time being.  

Here is a video with the kids playing with a stroller Rachel got for her birthday.  Rachel even at this age loves her baby dolls, and Daniel likes to help take care of it too.  Hopefully a great sign for the future addition to the family.
