Weekend with Ge-Ma and Papa

My parents came down to visit for the weekend.  It turned out to be great weather, Sat it was in the high 40s and Sunday it reached 70!  We spent a lot of time each day outside.  The kids were very excited to see them.  Walt showed them a lot of his games that he has, and Francine has now figured out how to pull herself up to a standing position.  I will get a picture soon!

Happy Valentine's Day

Future Oshie

Walt's favorite Blues player is TJ Oshie, a young star in the NHL.  He sent a puck over the glass to Walt in warm-ups last season and walt has loved him ever since.  Well, Bob has been taking walt out a few times skating this year.  Next fall he will be in a learn to skate program.  So we are trying to get him excited.  We got a lot of ice last week then the weather got warmer and then colder so we have more ice.  Bob took walt out to the front of our house for him to skate.  He had fun, but it was cold.

Thanks Nanny and Poppie!

Valentines Brunch

We braved the snow and pretty bad roads this morning to meet our friends the Wades for Brunch.  Eckerts (which is a farm) has a country store and restaurant that are open year round.  They were having a brunch buffet and special valentine activities for the kids.  It was fun.  ONe of the last things that the boys got to do was dress up and take a picture!  Boy they had fun with that. 

Saturday Snow Day

Well last week we did not get even close to 16" we got about 4",but because of all of the ice we were out another day.  Today I woke up (well Francine woke me around 6am) to about 4" of fluffy snowman making snow.  Walt and Dad (and even Francine) got in on the action outside today.  It was really sunny and warm in the afternoon, so our snowman is leaning a little.   Walt wants to name the snowman Jess, and bob wants to name it Ilean.  :)  So funny.

SNOW DAY #3!

We are on snow day #3 down here in St Louis.  We expect that we may have #4 tomorrow.  We are getting a ton of freezing rain and sleet and the snow is suppose to follow up to 16".  We will let you know what actually happens. 
Walt helped me make cookies, we have played games, tried out some Christmas presents that we had "hidden" away (it is amazing what walt finds when I am trying to put away his laundry :)

  Here are some pictures of Walt and Francine having fun after lunch.
