rain play

I am going to post a picture of CJ playing in the rain. With her boots and hat she loves to go out and stomp in the puddles and collect the rain in buckets. It is really nice to have warmer weather that allows us to play in the rain with out fear of getting too cold. It also breaks up our day since we can't do all of our normal outside activities. Today they are predicting that we will get 2-3inches of rain and could have some flash flooding problems. At 5am, when the rain began, we had a bit of thunder and lighting --so the dog had to come into our room to sleep --but now it is just a nice stay at home rain. I have some stamp projects I need to get done --if I'm going to send out invites to CJ's bday party, I should make them, and since it is in a week, I better scoot.

Hello Everyone!

We have joined the world of blogging in hopes to be able to stay in contact with friends and family who live across the globe. We just celebrated our first Christmas in Milton and although it was strange to not have snow and cold, it was wonderful to see the sun. I think that is our favorite thing right now, no matter the temperature or even if we are having rain, is EVERYDAY we get to see the sun. That is a beautiful change!

CJ is getting ready to turn 2, and does she like to show her "two yr old" colors if you will. She has an opinion about everything, and chimes in every chance she gets. She is getting ready to be a big sister in February, loves to sleep in her big girl bed with train sheets and is in the process of potty training. She has loved this weather and playing outside, even when it is raining, she puts on her rain boots, firefigher hat and heads out! She is also a bit of a sneak. Today while we were hanging curtains, she left the room, came back and told us to stay there, closed our door, pushed a chair over to the counter to get the forbidden paci. Of course we knew what she was after and could hear her the entire time, but it doesn't bode well for the teen years.
