Its Warming up!

Today is pretty warm, high in the low 40's. The snow is melting in spots hit by the sun. The better news is that we finally got the HVAC guy to come out and work on our heat. We had heat in the den and dining room, but had to run space heaters in the bedrooms. The back room was usually about 40, making that bathroom almost unusable. Turns out the last time they came to fix the pips that burst for the bathroom, which were not insulated, they did not hook the ducts back up. Just left them crushed out of way. So they guy hooked them back up and we have heat, albeit weak in some cases, throughout the house. The back room is a balmy 52! Upstairs seems a bit better too.

Here is Sam in a hat I got for Christmas. She put it on and said, take a picture.

Sam got a new doctor's kit for Christmas. She loves doing check ups. Here is Phoenix's turn.

And Nick's. It did seem to help when she went to the doctor for her bronchitis.

Sam loves having pigtails, and Nick always asks when I am going to match. So I did.

We are trading some child care with a neighbor and fellow Marshall adjunct. Samuel comes to play on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. And Sam goes to his house as well. Wednesday had two tired, teething kids. It was rough, but mostly they play together well. And Samuel seems to inspire Samantha to eat, which is nice.

We still have not been going out too much. But the other evening was warm enough that we decided to do a quick walk in my new (to me) jogging stroller my parents got me. Sam loved it and did not want it to end, but we did not want her to get too cold. I think it was about 38 or so.

Here is our house covered by snow.

This is a video from Atlanta with her Elmo chicken dance toy. She has a good time dancing and it cracks us up.
