How Did That Happen?

January is gone. It's February 4th...how did that happen? Our big December snow finally melted, and we even had a few days of 50 degree weather where got out and played without hats or mittens. Then it got cold again, snowed again, and it's about to snow yet again...a whole bunch! January was a good month. We are getting into a routine. By that I mean that Alex isn't 30 minutes late to preschool anymore...maybe only 5-10 minutes late and sometimes he's even on time!

Alex is learning so much both at school and at home. He loves his friends; he is quite the social butterfly these days. He loves his baby sisters too...even though he and Cassidy fight, if she gets hurt, he's usually there to comfort her before I am. And he loves to talk baby talk with Bridgette, kiss her head, head-butt her (that was just once)... you get the idea.

Cassidy is little miss "I wanna do it." She can get almost completely dressed herself, she even gets really close to zipping up her coat some days. Notice I said "can," and not "execute on command," which gives you an idea of why we are often late to preschool. She loves trains, dancing, singing, and taking care of her baby dolls.

Bridgette is the most easy-going of the bunch. She eats well, and sleeps even better (as long as she's not sick). At 4 months, she can now reach out a grab toys which has opened up a whole new world for her. She's starting to suck her thumb more and more... it is nice not having to find that darn pacifier for every nap or every time we went out like we did with the older two.

We're starting to gear up for our move to Fort Leavenworth this summer....de-cluttering the house and fixing up things to get it ready to show. We will miss our friends here but are really looking forward to being in a military community again.

Well, tomorrow we should be blanketed in 12-20 inches of snow, sipping hot tea while the kids run around the house. I hope this is the last big snow....would love to see my tulips start coming up afer this snow melts!
