Our Winter Wonderland

We have LOVED the fact that we are finally getting some snow!! Luckily, most of the snow has chosen to fall over week-ends, so D.R. has been able to enjoy playing with our little snow babies, as well. He's got a giggly Jax on the left and he's helping Dex walk through the snow on the right. In the top photo, I'm fairly certain that Jax is on the left and Dex is on the right.
"Mom!! This snow is SO deep! How are we supposed to walk by ourselves?"
(Jax- front, Dex- back... with Mommy)


Which one of these things is not like the others?... DEX!
(in the upper right... the rest are all Jax)
The swings continue to be as huge a hit with the boys as they are in the summertime. What fun, to be able to drag your feet through the deep snow as you swing!! Dex got such a kick out of putting his head all the way back and squealing at the top of his lungs. Jax just couldn't giggle enough!

Here we go... more Jax shots! It's hard to keep tabs on who I'm photographing!! :) I do have a Dex in the lower left corner, trying to run through the snow as his swing flies by.

I think this was one of the highlights of the past few months for me. It was a Sunday morning and after attempting to make it to church (we made it four blocks before helping to stop a stranded vehicle and then getting stuck, ourselves!), we decided to turn it into a playday. It mades SUCH a difference having two adults with these busy little boys! D.R. was able to focus on one of them, while I got to play one-on-one with the other. Then, we'd switch and everyone was happy! I continue to get such a kick out of watching the boys discover and play in the snow. I think next winter should be even more exciting for them, as they're able to walk around a bit more independantly. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the times when D.R. is home to make going outside a bit easier!! :) Earlier this week, for example, I fell on the ice while carrying both boys!! No fun for any of us, as we all shared scraped hands and knees....and the adventure continues... :)
