Every Winter I want there to be one GOOD, heavy snow. It's been a pretty mild winter thus far but a few weeks ago we got what I wanted. On Tuesday of that week, we had a couple of inches which melted by the afternoon. But on Thursday of that same week we got a good 5-6 inches and it was SO FUN! It took me the better part of an hour to dress the boys and my pregnant self, but it was worth it to hear Marcus giggle as we went down the hill on our sled. Titus, contrary to the way the pictures look below, hated the snow and just wanted to watch. He didn't like sledding or touching it at all. Marcus could've stayed out there and froze to death, yet been perfectly happy with it all.
Nonetheless, we enjoyed our winter time and now look forward to warmer Spring weather. We had a day that was sunny and 73 degrees last week and it was GLORIOUS! Springtime to me means playing outside more, baseball, new flowers and plant growth, and one more day closer to meeting the newest member of our family. :)

| Tuesday's snow - Marcus could shovel and the sun would burn off the rest. |
 |
| I'm almost 23 weeks along now, but you can see two pictures of the baby here. |
 |
| Titus and his two loves: trucks and books |
 |
| Marcus was so proud of himself for his work in this math book. The bottom portion said to draw, "green peas" on each plate. Well, he wrote green P's - the letter! Can't say he did it wrong! |
 |
| Mark had influenza for over a week and it was BEYOND AWFUL! I've never seen him so sick. Despite sanitizing everything constantly and containing him to our bedroom/bathroom, I was still scared the boys were getting sick when Titus spiked a fever and Marcus had a nasty cough. Thankfully they both tested negative for the flu and had minor, short-lived colds. |
 |
| All bundled up and ready to play. |
 |
| He enjoyed sitting in it as long as he didn't have to touch it. |
 |
| Beyond thrilled with our hill and sledding on it. |

| Warming up with hot chocolate afterwards. |

| Frozen waterfalls at the Grove Park Inn. My mom, sister, and I had massages there a few weeks ago. My step-dad John gave them to us all as Christmas gifts and we were just getting around to scheduling it. |
