Happy Anniversary!

Monday is our 7th wedding anniversary! Because we'll both be working, we decided to celebrate early on Saturday. We started our day as usual, with Greer's swimming lesson. Below is a picture of her learning to blow bubbles in the water.

We then dropped off Greer at Mama's and went out for the day. We live in such a touristy town that we sometimes forget all the great things to do within just a few miles. We spent the day in Asheville stopping in shops, hanging out, and just having fun. We had a delicious, three-hour dinner to cap off our evening. Here's a shot of us with full bellies.

Finally, we spent Sunday afternoon's at our friends' home for a playdate. Elmo was on the computer, so all three kids climbed into Abby's lap to watch the action.

Well, Hello There, Warm Weather...

...we're so happy to see you! Yes, the 50's are now considered warm. We had a beautiful, warm weekend with lots of sun. We took advantage of it, and spent a lot of time outdoors kicking the ball and petting neighborhood dogs. It was so refreshing to get this break from the cold, which is predicted to make its snowy return later in the week. We made it to our weekly swim class Saturday morning, and here are a couple of videos of the fun.

Who's Tired of Snow?

WE ARE! It snowed, yet again, this past weekend. This is the forth weekend in a row, I think. It was fun when it was 14 inches, even 8 inches, but getting only a few inches isn't much fun (only an inconvenience). Sorry to complain....we're just ready for spring!

Below are shots of Greer in her snow gear. It was bitterly cold when we went out, so she's not having much fun...

On another note, we had a fabulous Valentine's Day! Greer received two special Valentine's cards in the mail, and she has played with them ever since. Here she is checking out the card from Beema and Papa...

It has a mirror inside, so she's admiring her beautiful reflection.

I got a special Valentine's gift, too.

An Uneventful Weekend

After a few hectic and busy weeks, we enjoyed doing nothing this weekend but staying close to home and each other. Greer had her weekly swim lesson on Saturday (sorry no pictures - we remembered the camera, but not the battery...), and we ran a few errands just to get out. We had a good morning on Sunday at church/nursery, then brunch with friends.

That's about it.

Here's the only picture I took the entire weekend - Greer coloring in her Elmo coloring book.

Snow & the Stomach Bug

We had another big snow over the weekend - 8 inches at our house. Here are some photos...

We didn't really get to enjoy the snow, however, as our entire house had come down with a nasty stomach virus (hitting some of us harder than others). So, to liven things up inside the house, we put up this tent in our living room for Greer.

That seemed to make her feel better, and she spent much of the weekend hanging-out in there.
