Winter Time

6 weeks to go folks! It's a little scary to think we will have two babies in the house, but I am sure we'll manage. Robyn is planning to take two weeks off- yea! That will be a great help! Annika still likes to lift up my shirt and kiss the baby (my tummy really) it is so cute! She is starting to say words finally. She says: nigh-nigh (good night), Mimi (Mommy), Dada (Daddy), uh-oh, I (hi). She is also learning new signs all the time and understands all that we say. We are beginning to think that one morning she is going to break out in full sentences saying: "Dad, come get me up and change my diaper, and I want eggs for breakfast- not cereal!" We feel it coming!

Annika is obsessed with reading right now! It's so cute! She wants read to all the time (but only the ones she chooses) and she will sit and read to herself from all her books. She also loves that funny little dog backpack and if you put it on her she will wear it all day.

Annie wants so badly for Bogey to let her ride her- but she will not, so she often likes to ride her toy dog instead- it's so funny the thing barks and pants when she rides him.

I love this picture! I think she looks so grown up...

This is the pic we used for our Christmas card this year.

It started to snow the other night while we were walking home from Grandma and Grandpa's house... and in the morning... SNOW!

We miss Bend snow- this wasn't quite the same, but we had fun that day making snow balls, tasting the snow, throwing snow at Bogey, playing with ice puddles, and things of that nature. Eventually her hands get cold and she whines to go inside and play.
