Winter...

 So much for a light winter. We just had 19" dumped on us! The kids don't mind. They stayed outside building snowblobs and literally shoving their faces in snow for about an hour.
 We got away for the weekend which was really nice. TJ had the car packed and surprised me as I pulled up from work. We went to Lake Geneva and had a very relaxing weekend.

Updates: Nora is doing great. She does not love school, but likes parts of it. She would much rather listen to stories all day and play and talk, but now that the year is half over, she seems to be paying attention a little better and enjoys reading to us at times.
She is the best big sister and seriously has the biggest hear! Always caring for her brothers and others.

 Vinnie: Our little nugget. He has started to eat solid foods and loves it! He giggles at his big brother and sister all day long and just watches them. I wonder if he is storing all their tricks for later on.
He army crawls very fast and loves being held.
He is still not the best sleeper. Comes in bed with us at night still. I really should start fixing that.
He is just a happy little dude.

 This guy-oh Teddy! He keeps us on our toes. I absolutely love watching him play. He can play all day with his little green army guys, cars, and rescue bots.  He lines them all up, makes them talk to each other, and then typically knocks them all down. I often ask why he has to knock everything down and he tells me "because that's what monsters do".
He refers to the army guys specifically...there is the "laying down guys", "punchy guys", "glasses guys", and "pew pew guys".
He climbs on everything and has finally started going to the bathroom for both functions consistently. This took 4 rescue bots- but hey, whatever it takes.
He still loves to snuggle and often sneaks in our bed at night too.
