Cabin Fever

This has been the coldest, snowiest record-breaking winter for us here in Indiana. So unfortunately, we have no pictures of amazing snow and winter play. It's been too cold! So we have tried to make the best of things. We are so thankful to live in a city with one of the best Children's Museum.






Emmett LOVED the carousel. He rode it 3 times!
Being stuck inside has made us all a bit crazy with cabin fever…..




Brother love!

Who needs toys when you can play with mom's ladles and spatulas?
Checking out our Valentine's cards...




Rockin' some awesome bedhead!

Bubbles!

Mama, can I help with laundry?
School has been cancelled a number of times (blizzards + -40 deg temperatures), so we have gotten to spend an extra day or two with our friends….of course this has only fed our LEGO obsession (as has the new LEGO movie).








 The boys got to visit the brilliant hematologists last month and were very brave when they needed to get blood from a peripheral vein and not their ports. Elias was especially brave getting a shot in his arm.  Everything has been going great and we will continue with 4 times per week prophylaxis treatments for both.

Our friends, Adelirim celebrated their 5th birthday this month and we jammed out in honor….








Then Mama and Daddy got to get out for a much needed date night to see the talented Trey Anastasio…



Hopefully Spring will come upon us soon. We are all pretty much over subzero temperatures and piles and piles of snow.

Our Little Monkeys Are Not So Little Anymore

These little monkeys are really growing up fast….

Eating Daddy's dinner like a big kid
 Elias painted a picture, unprompted of the White House, with President Obama on the right and he on the left. Future world leader? Perhaps….

Emmett getting in touch with his feminine side….

Emmett got moved up from the baby from at school this week to the toddler room. That means he gets to sleep on a cot. There for we decided to make big changes al around. His crib officially went to another baby this weekend, so he got a little bedroom makeover. We decided with a Montessori-style toddler room, that promotes independence and activity in his room (as opposed to always wanting to go in his brother's room of endless little LEGOs.) Perhaps once his molars come in he will actually sleep through the night in it. Sleeping is a whole other story….






Such big monkeys...

Oh the snow! Mama's Snowy birthday

They have called it many things around here: Snowpocalypse, Snowmageddon, Blizzard of 14'. Well we spent yesterday confined to our house as about 10-12 inches fell upon Indianapolis. Whats a bunch of monkeys to do when there is a snow globe outside their barrel? Get in it of course!

First attempt at a snow-something


Which turned into a snowball fight





We did manage to celebrate Mama turning 35 with a trip to see one of her favorite artists and a little cake and ice-cream.
