Playgroup @ the Park

Snow Day, Part 2

The Jacks and their Dadda's had a great time sledding today.

Then our Jack decided it was time to go to the park.

They could both barely fit in the swings. It took 3 adults to get each of them out!

It was a revealing experience to hang out with the Daddy's and watch them interact with their boys. They had such "guy" ideas like throwing snowballs at the geese, or at their own child, or just rolling over their own, innocent and unsuspecting child.

Jack loved the snow and had such a great time. Thank you Nonna for the pants, coat, gloves and boots!

At times, Jack resorted to crawling through the snow because it was so deep. The duct tape around his gloves and sleeves did wonders! Great idea, Bryant.

Kris made a valiant effort to impress his son by snowboarding down a tiny hill. However, the hill proved to be a bit much for him in the end.

And then it was time to go home.

Kris wins "man of the day" awards. He was so worn out with all the playing, but he jumped right in to get Jack ready for bed.

But it looks like Jack outlasted his Dadda. :)

Snow Day, Part 1

We've received 5 inches of snow already, and it's still coming down. Jack and Kris just went out to go sledding with Little Jack and his Dadda, Bryant. More on that to come. For now, here are the "before" pictures.

(Don't you just love the bulging pants?!)

Can you tell he's ready to get out of the house and sick of Momma taking pictures?

Off they go...

And just for fun, here's a picture of Jack and Kris during last year's snow.

And a couple more from that snow for even more fun!

He couldn't even walk last winter, now he's wearing snow boots and going sledding! He probably weighs about the same though!

5 Months: Rollin' and Toe Gummin'

Sweet Baby Emma Kate is 5 months old. So the milestones begin. She is officially a rolly polly. On Thursday she was on her back after her nap (she started on her tummy, hence my excitement). Since then, she's been a rollin' machine (except when I try to get a picture of it). She only knows how to go belly to back, so I guess she's kinda like a turtle: once she's on her back, she can't get back to her belly.

And because no post is complete without pictures, this was our little girly this evening having tummy time.

And one other "trick" Emma has picked up: gumming her toes. She's very proficient.

Maybe she'll be able to reach past her toes for the v-sit and reach in PE class. That would far surpass her Momma!
