Winter.

Hmmmm where to start...where to start....

How about straight into pictures?!  Being as its winter here in nebraska, i feel we hardly leave the house except to go to the grocery store and grandma and grandpa's house.  (not complaining about the 2nd part of that statement!)  so what is a mom to do with her 20 month old?...


Chores of course!
 dance with daddy...

 and i guess a bath from time to time is needed.
 close-up.
 seriously mom? just take the picture.
 showing off her "buddies".  she insists on sleeping with mickey, minnie, dora, boots, diego aaaaand a little pillow.  oh, and in these past couple of days, shes added in a bunny.  geeze kid.
 coloring.
 showing grandma her new kitchen.

On friday of this past week, the weather gave us a big enough warming up so my mom and i took penny to the zoo.  it was awesome!  so nice to get outside...this little girl loved it!

 (isnt this the ugliest thing you've ever seen?)
 loves her grandma!  (and monkeys.)
 these 5 baby lions (i'll take 1 at a time, thank you very much!) were born december 29th.  seriously, so cute.  can i just take one home if it stays this small??


 growing up!

 pat on the back for the penguins.
 nemo!

the next day, our neighbor's little boy had his 3rd birthday party at p.e. 101...super exciting for penny!


 parachute tent!

 so exciting!


 playing d.j.
 one last hop in the foam pit before it was time to go home.

hoping the rest of this winter goes by fast b/c BRR! its too cold! and we need fresh air more often!  
oh, also a little update from baby #2 that is on the way...
-HE is due may 15th.
-he was a super calm baby up until a couple weeks ago...now he kicks ALL the time.
-makes me crave pickles, toasted blueberry bagels and all things salty.
-and is already making me too big for some of my maternity shirts.  (oh no, i still have FOUR months to go!)

xo.
