Things I'm Grateful For That Children Have Brought Back Into My Life
Tuesday, February 22, 2011
Up at 6, before the kids!
This never happens. One of the kids is always my alarm clock, but today it was the cat. Yes, cat. We adopted Stevie about a month ago from our friends the Hoopers, and she is fitting in well with the family. Except for when she wakes me up at 5:30, because that really isn't so awesome. She has cerebellar hypoplasia, which is a disorder that makes her wobble like a drunkard. Even when she sits still her head sways, hence the name Stevie (Wonder, get it?). HERE SHE IS:
We went to the snow for the first time a few weekends ago, and had a great time. Isaac had been asking all winter where the snow was, so I figured it was time to take him. We went up to Dorington, which is a little past Arnold, and stayed in a cabin for two nights. Isaac had a blast with snowball fights and sledding, and maybe next winter we'll take him skiing. Seth got into the snowball fights a little, and when we first set him down in the snow he just giggled uncontrollably. Looking back, it may have been easier to leave him with a sitter for the weekend because he was a bit young and it was a bit stressful. He only lasted in the snow for about a half hour before getting mad, so one of us would have to go in with him while the other stayed out with Isaac. The cabin was also not baby proofed AT ALL, so we couldn't let him out of our sight. That all being said, we got some good video and pictures and it is one less thing for him to be mad at us about when he is older haha. Kevin and I were both babies in families, and I remember being pissed when I would look at pictures of my sister and parents in Disneyland when they had left me with grandparents LOL. The conversation would go something like this:
Me at 9 years old: "Dad, why aren't I in these pictures at Disneyland?"
Dad: "Oh, you were just 2 years old and wouldn't have remembered it anyway."
Me: "Oh, okay." (seething inside from the injustice of it all)
Anyway, here is some super cute video of my super cute kids
