It's warming up

I think the warm up is officially on. It's in the 50's this weekend and I'm really hoping we're done with the snow and winter weather. I can't stand to be inside with these kids all the time anymore. Today we were able to get outside for a while. It was so nice! I think we're even going to wash and vacuum out cars tomorrow.

Do they ever not want to be doing the same thing?

We call this the Goad furrow. Both my kids know how to wrinkle their eyebrows just enough to let you know they're not happy. "Mom, you said we could go for a walk, let's go!"

On His Way to 25K!

Up until this week both Josh and I have been training to run a 25K race in May. Because of the training time and Josh's work schedule I've decided to scale back and just run the 10K. That to say, I am so proud of Josh! He has never really been a runner before and this afternoon he just finished running 9 miles. I'm just a little sad to not be keeping up with him since I'm so competitive. Here is a picture of Jack sporting Josh's new running visor.

Tubes

This morning Ellie went in to have tubes put in her ears because of the many, many ear infections she has had over the past year. Thank you to all who were praying. She did great and everything went quickly. The only time she even cried was when she woke up and they brought her to me. As soon as she was in my arms, she crashed and slept for a half hour until we left. So far it hasn't seemed to affect her, as she's been running around with Jack since we've been home.

Our First Snowman

Josh here. After the big melt last week, we got a little snow last night. Jack and I built our first snowman ever today (I know, he is 3 and a half, I am a terrible father). Check him out below. I remember it being easier to build these when I was a kid. The whole rolling a snowball and making a bigger ball thing did not go as planned, but our new friend turned out awesome anyway.
