February 22nd Mason in snow at grandparents

 Mason and grandpa dug out a little snow cave in one of the seven-foot piles of snow

along the driveway.

 Mason on top of the snow pile.

 With 3-4 feet of packed snow in the front

yard, Mason could go tree-climbing.

We finally changed the snow cave to a tunnel -

all the way through the snow pile into the front yard.

 Fun on the change table - right foot toes in mouth

while kicking pillow picture with left foot. She loves

the momentary freedom.

New bouncer.

February 1st Mason's 4th Birthday Pary

 The four-year-old loved the helium balloons at his birthday party.

 Quick get a picture!

 Pulling out the candles fast so he can eat Grandma's

banana cake.

Daddy helps unwrap a big box with a new snow

tube.

 Afterward Mason is "King of the Hill" on some of the 6-foot snow banks

by the driveway.

 Trying to catch them on his tongue.

 Way up on top.

Meanwhile Madelyn chills inside with Ray. She is

chewing so hard now; teeth can't be too far off......



February 1st Madelyn Starts Solid Food This Week

 Madelyn's first solid food was peas. She had noticed

everyone else eating for sometime, so she was more

than ready to try it.

 Pretty good going down, but.....

She made faces once she actually tasted it.

 Goodness! This does taste different!

 But I still want more.
