Did somebody say it's April?

Well, this morning we woke to a good amount of snow on the ground. After looking out the window you'd never believe that it is April! By tomorrow it is suppose to accumulate up to 2 feet! When Walter got up this morning he said "Mama theres' snow, why the snow not melting? Me just want the snow to go into a cave(I guess he thought it hibernates or something during the summer)." They predict 60 degrees next week but it is pretty hard to imagine at this point! Even though it was a bit snowy, Walter and Jeff still trudged through it and walked to the post office this morning and It was well worth it in Walter's world for he had received one of his magazines. He had lots of fun reading about the animals in it and doing all of the activities.



We showed Rose E today how to stand-up behind this toy and lone behold she just took off with a great big smile on her face! Then she practiced walking holding onto our hands between Jeff and I. Lately when I leave the room she's been saying "mama, mama?" Today I had to laugh because Walter was telling Jeff something and Jeff said "oh no" then Rose E said "no, no, no" then a little bit later I went to feed her supper and as I was setting her in her high chair she said "no, no, no." So needless to say I just gave her a snack in my lap and postponed her supper a bit. She also looked at a book today and said "pigs" and "doggy." Her favorite books right now are the ones that have lift open flaps and the baby signing ones. Last night it was the cutest thing because Walter fell asleep early, so Just Rose E and I went for a walk and on our walk she started to sing the Abc's to me. She would sing "Abcdefghi" and clearly say most of the letters, then we took turns singing it to each other.

I also, took a picture of Chessie. We took the cutter out of our porch and put it into the dining room and Chessie has now claimed it as a bed. She looked so cozy in it today I almost wanted to curl up with her (even though these kids sleep through the night most nights a full night sleep is not always guaranteed, Walter got-up three times last night for a drink of water and to use his potty, plus Jeff and I have been staying -up too late after they are asleep. I keep looking in the mirror and thinking some day I will look and my eyes will not be blood shot but on the other hand it goes way too fast and I know I will miss it when they get bigger).
