Cold week

I know that this will sound like a lame excuse to those of you in Illinois dealing with highs below zero, but the lack of blog postings this past week has been due to the cold front that moved in...we just haven't done much because it's been chilly!

The girls are still being cute and getting bigger. I think the most noticeable change lately has been their hair... they seem to have a lot more of it! AND, they love to "style" it with interesting new products, like "mandarin orange juice" and "ravioli broth." I suppose it make bath time a little more necessary...

The girls continue to love their rocking chairs. Izzy's top teeth are taking their sweet time really coming in, so she's spending a lot of her time drooling and sticking her tongue out. We're trying to keep her teething toys cold. Abby's top teeth are still just little bumps under the gums that don't seem to be bothering her much yet, happily!

Dad is, of course, "the fun one." The girls are almost always in gales of laughter when he's playing with them, and if I talk to them at all about Dad during the day, they look to the door with smiles of expectancy. It's very sweet. Here, they were playing "pretend to leap over the back of the couch." It's a fun game :)

I'll try to be better about posting this week... we'll brave the weather so that we can go out and get some cute pics of the girls doing something fun. We're all getting a little cabin fever from being housebound anyway :)
