Updates

I have posted tons of pictures lately, but haven't really taken the time to really write what is going on in our lives right now...so here is goes...

Julia is officially a toddler now! She is one year old, walks steadily (except when Alex pushes her down or knocks her over while running past), likes to play 'mommy' (she holds her babies and pushes them around in a stroller), and likes to pretend to talk on the phone (anything can become a phone...). She went to her first ISU basketball game the other day and handled it pretty well. She loved the sights and sounds and got a kick out of clapping her hands when the crowd cheered.

Alex has been his busy little self lately. Preschool started up again a few weeks ago and he is still loving it!! Mommy and Daddy have started the process of trying to find him a preschool again for next year. We are looking for something that is at least three hours long to help him transition to a full day of kindergarten. We went outside today and played in the snow...Alex has only been asking everyday for the past week to do so. So, we went out yesterday and today. He was super excited to use his new snow castle blocks that he got for Christmas! We really wanted Julia to join us so she could use her new snowsuit, but she slept too late this afternoon. 'What a bummer!" Alex would say!!

As for the bunny we saved...he is essentially ungrateful!! His thanks to us has been to gnaw one of my $35 weigilia bushes down to the ground. I said some unkind words to him...couldn't believe he would do this to me after I saved his life and fed him cantaloupe and lettuce!! Alex and I built a temporary barricade to keep him from continuing, but Daddy is going to have to buy some better stuff at the store!!
