February is here!

Somehow time is just flying by around here.

Jeff brought the old Nintendo home from my parents' house to see if it still works. It does, and Sean loves it!

Super Mario Bros. is still kind of difficult for him. I think I started playing when I was about 8, so he's a bit young yet. He also likes to play Little Big Planet with us in the basement, but only the easiest levels. He doesn't like anything scary or too difficult. It is supposed to be fun after all right? I don't like scary or hard games either!

I gave up on keeping the Legos all sorted out by set and putting them away each night. They just get so much play time, it's easier to leave them out unless we are having people over.




Now that Teresa has pretty much learned not to put them in her mouth, she can play with them too, under adult supervision.




It's rare, but sometimes I do wish we had a dog!




Coming up next, our trip to NY/NJ for a cousin's wedding!

Video test

I have been having trouble using Blogger's video upload, so here is a try on YouTube.



Please leave a comment as to whether it works for you or not - I set it to private so I am not sure. Thanks!

January recap

Wow I have been slacking! Here are a few pictures of January.

We have had a mild winter, as I guess everybody has. We have made it to the park a few times, which was nice.

The park only has one baby swing, which is usually taken, so Teresa ends up in this one. It's too big though, so she says "all done" after a minute or so.

Sean, on the other hand, loves these swings and always chooses this kind. He likes to be pushed really high and I don't think he feels safe on the "regular" swings.

Oh one day this picture is going to make me REALLY sad when I don't have a little hand to hold anymore.

Snack time.

Proof that Teresa likes spaghetti with sauce. At least one time. (Yesterday, she did not like it. Sean also won't eat sauce ever.)

I guess we need to be outside more to claim our territory. One day, a deer bumped its nose on one of our windows! If it had been open I would not have been surprised if he jumped right into the family room. This picture is just outside the front of our house. Who knew ground cover was so tasty?

We did have one or two not-so-mild days....

Personally I am thankful for the mild winter, because Teresa does not last long out there with all the snow gear on. After about fifteen minutes, she has reached her limit. She does not like to wear gloves, then her hands freeze and start hurting, and that's it. Sean, on the other hand, could stay out in the snow for three hours. Luckily with the mild winter I have not really had to deal with this issue!

Ok, so, back to the park since it was 60 the other day.




This is little Miss Shifty Eyes. Actually this picture kind of reminds me of this one I took almost a year ago on a cable car in San Francisco.




So, maybe I will be better about blogging in February, and then again maybe not. I will try....?
