Ok, I've gotten slack with blogging and I'm sorry. It's that yucky time of the year when you just don't want to do anything and unfortunately for you, anything includes blogging. So here I am, ready to catch you up on our happenings for the last few weeks.
Jas is home for a couple of weeks, thanks to things being a bit sluggish at his place of employment. We've really enjoyed having him home (for the most part-I have had some mornings when I wished I could send him back to work, but they have been few and far between).
Jason-Hard at work.
The girls have been complaining lamenting that they didn't get a chance to make a snowman before the snow got melty and gross. Well lucky for them we had a monster snowstorm that dumped enough sticky snow for them to make one. Jas also got in on the fun.
Why do they eat snow? Gross!
And their hats?
Look at how black her hair is in this picture! I love it!
What a pretty nose you have! All the better to smell you with, my dear.
Playing while Papa and the older girls do the work. (rolling)
Finishing touches!
All of the girls and their snowman. :o)
Papa, the ladies, and their snowman!
Kate has spend recent days doing what she normally does-She cries, she sleeps, she eats, she leaves gifts for us in her pants on a regular basis. She does fun stuff too though-She smiles, talks and giggles, and is starting to take more of an interest in the things around her and is trying to grab things with her pudgy little hands. She is our cutie patootie!
Hanging in the Bumbo. She really likes to sit up. I fully expect her to sit up on her own early!
Who thought a big yellow thing could be so interesting?
Awww!
She has also been spending more time on her tummy (a.k.a. tummy time) getting ready for that oh so scary (for mom), giant leap toward mobility. *shudder*
Tummy time gets old quickly.
Annnnnnnd we're exhausted!
Precious!
Also a part of our routine lately has been the addition of Ezri on Fridays. She is such a sweetie and thankfully on Kate's off days, Ezri is perfect, and vice-versa. Lucky me. ;o)
Kate and Ezri, hangin' out.
Isn't she darling?
This next photo is a picture of my parent's new dog, Missy. This is what Missy would do every time, EVERY time I would try to take her picture. She is super cute and super sweet, but she does not like the camera!
It's fun walking a dog that doesn't drag you everywhere you go!
Nana, hanging out with Kate while the girls play with the dog.
Yes, she is a sweetheart!
Here is Alyssa after I stuck her under Kate's play gym and told her she was a baby. What the pictures aren't telling you was that she was really mad at Mommy for saying she was a baby!
Yeah, she's cute from any angle!
Auntie Laura is in town right now, on her way out west to Oregon. Let me pause here for a short tutorial. Oregon, if you are a midwesterner, is pronounced Or-uh-gone as in "The Oregon Trail". Yeah you know what I'm talking about. However, if you are from the state of Oregon itself, apparently you say Organ, like body parts or the noisy piano type instrument. In my humble opinion the latter is incorrect. ;o)
Anyways, Auntie Laura is headed off to the state with the unpronouncable name so we have been hanging out with her for the past week or so, as it is a good 30 hours to drive to Portland-a trek we will not be making terribly often.
We'll miss you Laura!
Lastly, (aren't you excited that this novel is about to end!) we moved Jolene into the basement this past weekend. She will be staying with us until the wedding. Madelinegrudgingly graciously agreed to wait until June to move into her room in the basement in order to allow Jo to occupy it for a few months. I cannot tell you how exciting it is for little girls to have a Jolene living under your roof. Definitely blog worthy at least!
"For real Mom? This crazy person is sleeping under the same roof as I do? Do you not care for my safety?"
There you have it friends and family. I told you it was long, but don't you feel more complete now that you know what the Schwartz's have been up to? You know you do.
