John

-

This most adorable of little boys is 2 and half years old already!  John has been lots of fun and most essential in keeping everyone cheerful and happy during the pandemic.  He smiles always, shares without a second thought, and plays readily.  He fills the house with giggles, happy squeals, fast little feet, excellent climbing and hanging skills, and funny little sayings.  John can say lots of things, but mostly he says:
"Come here! Come here!" while  waving his arm toward himself when he wants you to follow him.
"Play with me." 
"Kiss me!" when he's ready for a kiss and hug, which is always.
"Read to me," John loves to read and read and read with Mommy.  His favorite book this Christmas has been "Gingerbread Man," and his favorite book of all time continues to be Blue Hat, Green Hat by Sandra Boynton.  It's comedy genius.  ;)
"Help me!" when he needs food out of the fridge or help with anything else.
"CiCi hug you," as he leans over to hug our soft little bunny.
Funny things John says:
While banging on Rebekah's door, "Bekah!  Cookie!  Open door!"  John had brought Bekah a cookie to eat.  He never likes to eat alone.  If he wants to snack or eat a treat he always grabs a second for sharing or splits his own treat in two so that he can spread the joy of eating something yummy together.  
"IO".  John can totally say "Xavier," but he much prefers to tease Xavier and continue to call him "IO" instead.  :) I guess Xavier will always have the nickname of IO now.  :) 
John loves to sleep in Mommy and Daddy's bed, snuggled right in the middle of them all night long.  John loves to snuggle.
John's favorite show is Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood.  He could watch it forever and forever.  
John's favorite thing in the world are his muslin space blankies.  He takes them everywhere, sleeps with them always, and uses them to create unique fashion statements.  :D 

We sure enjoy life with our little John and look forward to all the smiles and joy he will continue to bring.

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
