Oh, The Weather Outside is Frightful!

Snow, snow and more snow.  Thanks to another round of the white stuff on the 6th, we had to cancel Juliann's birthday party for a 2nd weekend in a row.  :(  Good thing she's only 2 and didn't quite understand that she wasn't going to get a party.  We couldn't cancel the cake for a 2nd time so we picked it up before the snow hit and the 3 of us spent the weekend snowed in with yummy Ukrops cake!  Luckily we didn't get as much snow as we did with the last snow storm but we still had a good 5-6 inches.  Jules didn't get to go out and sled this time either because she came down with a cold.  However, she was feeling better by Monday so we had a few friends over on a Monday evening to celebrate (and eat up some of the food we'd purchased for the party) and Juliann LOVED opening up presents.  She was also a huge fan of all of the Elmo stuff we'd gotten for the birthday party and I believe she might be just a little bit in love (or possibly obsessed) with Elmo.  I'm still coming to grips with the fact that she's already 2 and hopefully we'll have better luck next year with her birthday party!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULES!

I can't believe my baby is 2! It seems like just yesterday I was at school getting things ready for the next week when my water broke. Juliann's personality showed the day she was born-coming 3 weeks early and in under 3 hours. She's still impatient but amazes me every day with the new things she has learned. She uses 3-5 words in her sentences and I love that she's able to have a true conversation with me. She remembers things that happened months ago and has no problems telling me to calm down or sit down! She's using the potty, learning to ride her tricycle and is walking up and down the stairs on her own. She LOVES Elmo, her baby dolls and dancing to music. God has blessed us with an amazing child and we love her so much! Happy Birthday Juliann!!!!
