Coloring Easter Eggs

As the snow melted

(By the way, does anyone else think she looks like Alex/Karey in this picture???)

Pictures

Sorry for the lack of posts. Things have been a bit busy around our house as of late.

Here are some of the things that have kept us busy.

Checking out the cool ice formations at Minnehaha Falls.

Drawing on the flipchart paper. So much space!

Confiscating mom's summer robe for her princess robe. (I'll never get this back).

Admiring the Elmo snowmonster dad made.

Claire hanging out with neighbor Isa in the snow.

Random photos of winter fun

Claire has been working on reading and writing. Today she surprised Pete by writing the word Music all on her own while he was working on something else.


The girls enjoying Sesame Street live




On the way to Sesame Street live. Claire was pretending Grover and Elmo were getting ready for the "talent show".


Painting nails on a cold winter's day.

Puppet Show

The snow and the ice

I understand there are family members in Arizona (hint, hint Helgeson & Echeverri ladies) who are having a hard time remembering what it is like to have the snow we have this year. Here are a couple shots to give you some idea of what we have so far. And we're not close to the end of the snow year!

At the end you will see some video of Claire for the first time she was on skates.



Video # 1 where dad still needs to hold onto her for the most part.


And 13 minutes later... she takes her first few on her own.
