Life in the Seitz Lane: February 2014

The prediction is for another inch or so this weekend, but two weeks ago today we went sledding with close friends at a park near our house. Right now all the snow is gone.

It was a very nice, sunny day and they all ended up taking their winter coats off.

Before we went sledding, this was what Lanie and Maren were doing:

Do ya think we are ready for spring??!!

The first weekend of March, Nick and Valerie and Danny came to visit from Des Moines. We had dinner one night, went to the Children's Museum the next day and had breakfast at our house Sunday before we left.

This is a terribly fuzzy picture from the Children's Museum. These guys do not stop moving!

I really am trying to catch up! I have to make it! I love going back through the pictures... it is too fun to see. Even just how much they have changed in the last 6 months! And after this winter (59 inches of snow and counting) it is wonderful to see green and the promise that winter does always end!

Here is Maren playing in the dirt in what they called our garden. It is the planter under the tree in our front yard and it has a few annuals in it and we were trying to plant more flowers. They were just having fun in the dirt!

I don't think this was the day that Elena smeared dirt all over her arms ( I was a little bit in awe that the child that does not like anything extra on her body did that ), but she did have fun digging and watering the dirt.

You never know what you're gonna get... like a day cool enough in August that Elena felt compelled to put on her sweatshirt and boots! (Yes, Uncle Rob, she still puts her shoes on the wrong feet. She says she likes it that way.)
