The Snowman Project

The Snowman Project from Robert Kerner on Vimeo.

We got pounded by snow Thursday and Friday. The yard is filled with the stuff and it is just the right consistency to make a snowman. We don't have snow suits for both kids-somehow that slipped past us- so rather than have one upset kid waiting inside, Donna went outside and built the snowman as the kids watched from the window.

They were very excited by Donna's craftsmanship, so we're off to find another snow suit so they can help build the next one.

February Update

It has been awhile since our last update. Here is the latest:

The kids are 21 months and are pretty independent, when they want to be. The are both becoming very verbal, both with individual words and short sentences. This morning, they both looked out the window and proclaimed, "Oh no, snow!" How right they are. It's miserable here in NY as we suffer the wrath of a Noreaster. What's fair is fair, however, since we got no snow from the big storm over the weekend.

The picture is from last night and shows Sammy doing what she does best: eating. She has developed a reputation as a food thief at day care, swiping other kids' snacks. The day care ladies like to put her hair up into tails and, although she looks cute in them, it's a devil removing the rubber bands from her hair at the end of the day.

Robert is still a peanut compared to her, probably because he rarely stops moving. Hopefully the wind will subside and they'll get to go out and experience the snow drifts.

That's all for now.
