Under-Wonders

Daphne will have nothing to do with potty training or panties.

She does seem to have taken a liking to underwear...and Corn Nuts.
Who ever said girls were easier to potty train than boys

couldn't have had it more wrong. 

Any tips or tricks to share anyone?

1st Hair Cut

Daphne had her first haircut. She sat still as a statue and may not have blinked the whole time. This was the look she kept. When we left, she was very proud of her haircut and every so often will say, "Haircut was fun!" She likes to swoosh her dutch girl bob around, too :)

The Lone Snowman of Winter 2011-12

This was the only snowman we were able to build this winter.

Felix is 7!

Felix turned 7 on the 7th. Here's a little bit about him:

Loves: sharks, dinosaurs, mechanics,

pancakes, sugar, p.j.'s, non-fiction,

legos, friends, his gerbils

Activities: cubscouts, chess, computer games,

tv, piano, reading, making comic books

Felix is showing off the sparks his scooter makes. (Thanks Grandmas and Grandpas!)

Pine Wood Derby

Felix participated in his first Pine Wood Derby. He didn't place, but was very happy to be awarded the"Most Dazzling" certificate.

Yes, cub scouts can be dazzling, too...as long as they use glitter paint :)

Here he is with "The Flame"

The tiger scouts anxiously await the start of the race.

Daddy Time

Scott recently changed jobs (now working for Pepsi) and has been commuting to work in New York for the past 5 months, coming home most weekends. Hopefully the 12+ hour roundtrip drive will end soon given we are able to sell our house in Pittsburgh and join him out there. We look forward to waking up on Saturdays and seeing him!

Winter...where are you?

Really, sunbathing in January in Pittsburgh?

We are usually enduring 20's and teens this time of year,

but I guess it's been a strange winter for many.

We've had probably 4 days with snow on the ground this season. It quickly melted when the temps rose to the upper 40's or 50's.

Digging for dinosaur bones

We've shoveled the driveway only twice so far.
