Charlotte Will Spin Us a Bassoon

Noah is four.  We're reading chapter books and learning about the orchestra.  He's currently obsessed with dandelions, Charlotte's Web, and Peter and the Wolf.  His new itty bitty violin came in the other day, and he's excited about it in theory but seems to be slightly afraid of it in real life.

He's growing up seemingly like the dandelions do.  Overnight.

Stuck Inside

It's been really rainy.  Mama says we have to stay in the house so we don't get sick.

We still have fun, though.

I love to carry around my tea pot.

And dig in the blocks.

Sometimes, Noah will read to me.

Until he notices I'm there.  Then he asks me to leave.

That's ok, though.  I can just pick out something for Mama to play on the piano.  I really like Beethoven.

While Mama sits at the piano, I can walk around with the flashlight.  

It's not really mine, but I promise to be careful with it.

My favorite place in the house is in front of the window.

I like to see what's out there.

We have fun in the house, but I'd really rather be outside.

It Feels Like Summer

 It's my least favorite time of the year, and Blair was out of town for several days in a row.  Survival mode kicked in, and I set up the tent.

Staying Home::Day Three

We've looked at the snow, played in the snow, made candles, and knit dresses.  There are Legos everywhere and a tent fort draped over the dining table.  Yay for snow days!!

Staying Home

When the ice started last night, we hunkered down with hot tea, Lord of the Rings, and a new knitting project (for me). I'm pretty sure we're going to be here a while.  Our driveway is covered with six inches of ice and about an inch of snow.  What a way to start March.  Here's to staying warm!

Four Years

My goodness, it goes by fast.  Four-years-old.

Wrapping Up January

Where did January go??  These two sweeties want to know.  They also want to know where our snow is.  Ah, maybe February will bring a little to match this frigid weather we've had lately.  I suppose we'll just have to keep staying in and staying warm.

Little Snippets

Lots of snuggling.  Lots of hanging out at home.  We've had the dreaded Crud, so we haven't felt like doing much else.  I've just been soaking in the the sweetness of baby grins and hugs from my little guy.
