Snow and a Tooth!

Three inches on the deck and several more to come according to the weather report.
Betcha never thought you would associate those two things! Well, we are having a beautiful snow storm right after a gorgeous sixty degree day. Weird weather. But we are enjoying both extremes. Sutton seems to be feeling better. Which could mean his ears are clear but we won't know for sure until his checkup tomorrow.
Peek-A-Boo...I see you under the table.
Or it could mean that he has been a fussy bear because he is teething and is feeling better now that the big one broke through! I just felt gums on Wednesday but by yesterday there was definitely a whole tooth there! He is a baby no longer. He sat up in a big boy high chair at El Rodeo last night right next to his friend Jack. And today he sat up in the grocery cart all by himself. He was looking pretty darn cute in his monster hat so he got lots of ooohs and ahhhhs from the old ladies.
I'll smile at you Dad, but not the old lady in the meat department!
Walker made an excellent fire, make that two excellent fires since we have one going upstairs and down, so we are toasty warm and all settled in for the evening. Who knows how many more of these we will get to enjoy here.
Perfection!

We've been running!

These fools finally put my cape on the right way.
I just can't take all the fun.
I've only just begun and already I've dropped the ball on posting. It's February already and we have been busy! We had back to back race weekends and then back to back yard/house work weekends. The "gear room" is no longer. It is painted and set up as a sitting room. And the rotten pine tree is now partially in the dump and partially sitting at the curb in many many pieces. Progress.


 Sutton has started his new school and it is wonderful! It feels like we are running all over town now, but it is so worth the effort and the expense. He is suddenly rolling around the house, sitting up by himself, and thoroughly enjoying tummy time.
Sitting up strong.


And the little man loves food! He definitely inherited his Dad's appetite, thankfully. But he had his third ear infection this past week and it was accompanied by Croup. Which meant another barking cough and lots of wheezing. But this time we loaded up with antibiotics, a steroid, and nebulizer treatments so he is well on his way to being 100%. Next up, a flu shot on Tuesday!
Still jumping......look at that air!
Walking practice.....soon to be running!
