Go, Go Red Sled!!!

Being that we've had a bit warmer weather this weekend, sledding was a good way to burn off some of that never-ending toddler energy. It didn't work, though, Layla still refused to take a nap both days (sigh). The only ones that seem to be tired are Mommy and Daddy.

Anywhoo....L had a blast, as always...even convincing Daddy to go down the hill in her sled!

February "Fun"...

...fun, i use that term loosely! For the most part, the Riddle household has been ill (shocker, i know). Though, this month we've been hit especially hard. Layla is scheduled for her T&A March 30th, and Marley will be getting ear tubes the middle of April...let's hope this helps them both! That said, here are a few pics of some happy times! :-)

*Note: Yes, pajamas are the main attire in this set of photos, as they were the main attire this past month.

Marley discovering that playing in the cabinets is FAR more fun than playing with all her store-bought toys!

The big girl finally gets to face forward! She couldn't stop kicking her feet and smiling when she first saw the world with this new view!

Lord knows how long she was sleeping like this...thankfully, the circulation to her feet was still adequate!

Yes, she does this often. No, she cannot choke on this puzzle piece...trust me. Though, not sure if i should give her props...or be worried that she can jam this entire thing in her mouth!


Post-Abx shot, Day#3...finally a happier girl!

Layla's been a great big sister during M's months of sickness. She always makes sure M's comfy, has her pacifier, and covers her up (even sharing her own "cozie" (blanket) with M).

"Mommy, take my picture". okay.

Snow-Mageddon '11

2.1.11: 12.5 inches in a 24 hr period. 17 inches by the time it was finished. Snow-mageddon '11, folks. the city essentially shut down...and that says a lot for a town in WI!!

note: (HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY, NONA! glad we got to spend some time with you around your special day!!)

"Mommy, we need warmer clothes to go out there!" (Layla says, as she sits next to the 5 ft drift outside our front window)!

Shane was in good spirits on the first pass....3 hours later...he was exhausted!!! (yes, 3 hours...for our little driveway).



The day after...
