This month does deserve a special name to honor its cruddiness. It started off with the announcement that AstraZeneca is shutting down its Infection division, which is good news for no one except the superbugs. The weather was crazy cold, but we did break the all-time winter snow record of 108 inches. The final three inches happened to fall while Heather was on a plane coming back from Atlanta, necessitating an unplanned stopover in Hartford. Dave survived 4 days alone with the girls. Afterwards Tessie had a new appreciation for him, and finally is treating him more like Daddy and less like an inadequate Mommy substitute.
Quote from Tessie: "That my mama. Not yours"
Erin the trooper braved going outside with Tessie
Instant ice pop
Where'd Tessie go?
Land of the icicles
Spring training in Lexington
The snow mounds have turned into...
...ice mountains
When will it disappear???
Hmm, might not want to show this to the child psychologist. In Caroline's defense, we had just gotten a new pack of markers and she said that the red was so bright that it reminded her of blood. At least this shows some thoughtful engineering.
Tempting as it was to build the Machine of the Blood Invaders, we chose another topic for Science Fair with Caroline. She wanted to do her project about a photograph of a dress. It didn't make any sense to me because the colors are clearly white and gold.
Tessie is a whirlwind around the house now, especially when the gll-ulls (girls) dress her up and show her how to ride a scooter
Some rare moments, Caroline will sit and read to Tessie
but who can blame her when the alternative is a beanbag chair next to the heater with Max on her lap
Erin lost her first tooth!
Thanks to Mom's friend Julie, we have a wall map to show where we've been. Watch out desert Southwest: you're next.
At least the snow was good for one thing: tunnels
Watch that step!
Smarch is a good month for salami parties
