We Survived Winter

Wow. Where have I been? I can't believe it's been since December I last showed the world how adorable my chitlins are. Christmas has come and gone, New Year's parties have been celebrated, Valentine's Day has even disappeared, and now hopes of spring are in the air (even with 6 inches of snow still hanging on in my yard)! Well, I'll tell you where I've been! On my couch!! After recovering from my first trimester of nauseous pregnancy, I got hit with a cold that left me scrambling for any soft surface where I could snuggle under a warm blankie and doze off the minute my children were softly nestled in their beds. I'm still battling the cold a month later, and dreaming of the day I'll be able to breathe clearly through my nose and laugh without hacking up a lung. I know you've been waiting months for shots of my kids, so here's a few photos of my cuties playing in the snow.

After one failed attempt at making it up to our family cabin this winter, and being snowed out, we finally made it up there at the end of January. We spent a great weekend with our family, and I came to realize how much of a snow bunny little Savana is. She spent two hours during the morning sledding and playing in the snow, and then went back out for another two hours of sledding and building a beautiful snowman. She even zipped down the hill on her very own sled and survived to tell the tale. Dexter loved tasting the snow, and even enjoyed sledding down the hill....until I gave him a face full of snow while trying to control our sled. Then he decided he was done with the sled, the snow, and his mommy!

I can't believe winter is almost gone, and I'm anxiously waiting the days of bike rides, walks to the park, and playing in our yard soaking up the rays. Hopefully it will be here soon!!
