Sledding At Last

For Christmas this year Leah got a new sled - her first sled actually. The only problem is we have had an unusually "green" winter for this part of the country. The other weekend we went to visit our friends, Greg and Emily, in Ohio and were dumped on with snow. It made the drive a bit slow, but the sledding was great!

Leah's first trip down the steep hill got her a face full of snow.
And her dad may or may not have landed on her a bit...
So then she opted for what she refers to as "bum sledding."
While the grown boys continued to enjoy the sleds and had races.
Fortunately, there was a smaller hill, and Leah gave Dad a second chance.
She's a brave little soul.
And worked her way up to sledding all by herself!

Close Encounters of the Pregnant Kind

I have found that something about a pregnant lady makes people say things that they wouldn't normally say. And, then of course, there is also a sudden decrease in personal space awareness. I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Six Months

Our little Leah is 6 months old!  Ok, and she's not so little.  She weighed in at 17 lbs. 12 oz. and is in the 80th percentile for weight and the 90th for height.  We get good arm workouts carrying her around.  In other news, we are both done with school until the fall and are looking forward to a summer as a family.  We'll post more about the previous hectic weeks soon!   (Love this one! )
