Blizzard 2011

David did some major shoveling. It took him 3 hrs. to clear the driveway. I was pretty impressed.

An island of snow.

Most neighbors paid to get their driveway plowed by these guys.

Climbing the mountain of snow.

Rivers loved the snow, next year we will definitely invest in some snow boots and snow pants. Clark likes playing in the snow until he gets cold.

Sweaters!

GG got the boys these adorable sweaters and I am taking full advantage of dressing them alike while I can. They look so darn cute, if I do say so myself :)

Snow!

The boys had so much fun playing in the snow. The snow came just in time to give us a White Christmas! We woke up Christmas Eve to 5 inches of fluffy white snow. It was so much fun to actually be able to play with the boys in the snow. Previous years have not been so entertaining. I miss them being babies but I love watching them turn into little boys who like to have snowball fights and make tracks in the snow.

Clark is 3!

Expecting the Worst, Getting the Best

Every mom of two little kids knows that when you can't see them and can't hear them, you are about to find two little kids getting into a lot of trouble. Well, not this morning. Clark and Rivers had been out of sight for a little while but I could hear them playing together, so no problem. Then there was complete silence for a couple of minutes and I thought, oh great, what kind of disaster am I going to find them making. I went to face the inevitable mess and found two little angels sitting together in a chair reading books. What a blessing.

In fact, many times I find them playing really well together. Seeing them enjoy interacting together makes me so happy and proud. I hope they always get along as well as they do now. Clark has taken on the responsibilty of big brother whole-heartedly. He shows Rivers the ropes, he stands up for him, he kisses him goodnight and occasionally roughs him up a little.

[Yes, I know Clark needs a haircut. We are waiting for Auntie Kara to do it when she visits in October.]
