Parking Spaces

Here in Pittsburgh it's a long standing tradition to put your dining room chair in your parking spot when you leave to ensure your spot is still there when you return. With all of the snow, parking spots are hard to come by, so chairs are everywhere! I think it's so funny! Why a chair?

The first picture is a view down our street. Ours is one of the few that have actually been plowed!

Jerrod's Snow Cave

So yesterday Jerrod was supposed to be studying when he come downstairs and shows me a pictre of a "snow cave" on the computer. About an hour later, he's outside building the hugest mound of snow in our backyard! This morning he and Camryn worked on cleaning it out! It's about 10 feet long by 5 feet wide by 3 feet high!

Turning 3

Where have 3 years gone? Not so long ago, we were holding this "tiny", 9lb 7oz baby in our arms for the first time. It's been an interesting 3 years adapting to the differences between a boy and a girl. Lots of jumping, running, and being wild in general, but also many smiles and cuddles! We feel so blessed to have such beautiful, healthy children! Happy Birthday, Little Man! We love you!

Carson celebrated his 3rd birthday with friends here in Pittsburgh. One of the resident's wives made the train cake for him! He loved it and literally cried when we cut into it to eat it! Carson is enjoying riding his "big boy" Thomas bike all around the house. He goes between riding and playing Hungry, Hungry Hippos. It's pretty loud in this house!

Two New Boys in My Life

This past week I started a new babysitting job. A couple of the residents Jerrod works with had a little boy back in October and needed daycare, so of course I volunteered. Grant is with us everyday. Surprisingly, Carson LOVES him and is incredibly helpful. Hudson is the older baby. He is the son of Jerrod's program director who needed daycare help 1 to 2 days per week. They're both great boys!

Feeling at Home

From noon yesterday until noon today it snowed here in Pittsburgh! We have 24 inches and we're feeling like we are back in Colorado! The kids had a great time playing in the snow, and Jerrod had a good time driving the Jeep. He had to taxi one of his friends to work at the hospital this morning.
