Happy Spring!

Finally, we have color, instead of white and varying shades of grey.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

It was a beautiful day, warm (woohoo) no coats or jackets required for the first time in months. Lots of smiles, happiness and running aimlessly! We couldn't find a green Mario/Luigi t-shirt, some battles just aren't worth fighting

We got to hang out at the playground with friends for a long time.

Then he decided he wasn't gonna smile. I love it!

But luckily, his big sister was there to help him out.

Aaaawwwww! Poor fella

Finally!!

A break in the arctic temperatures let us hang outside for a while without our teeth chattering and wearing 15 layers of clothes.

Remember when jumping rope was fun and not torturous?

Isn't life a little sweeter when you take time to play?

oooooohhhhhh snow!

We have had 36 inches of snow in the month of January, breaking a record set only 86 years ago.

My patio furniture is under there somewhere, it may be July before we see it again.

The sun isn't even making a dent in this frozen dome.

Time to shovel the sidewalks - no need to go the gym afterwards!

Heterochromia and our new kitty

Meet our new kitty "Oz". Oz has heterochromia. He has one blue eye and one green eye.

IMG_0325

Isn't he sweet!

IMG_0332

Little pink ears that can't hear a thing, he's also deaf. Heterochromia and deafness apparently go hand in hand.

IMG_0313

We think he's pretty darn cute!

IMG_0329

It's a good thing, because he's into EVERYTHING!

IMG_0343

Little Kitty, thank goodness you sleep a lot!
