2 Year Old Check Up

Ollie went for his 2yr old check up this week and was such a brave little guy. A finger prick, 4 shots and a nasal flu mist. That's a lot, but he was pretty tough. Ollie is a very healthy little guy!

Weight: 32.5lbs

Height: 35.5 inches

Growing and developing right on track.  Can't believe how big he his and how fast he's growing up!

Loving the Library

We still love to go to the library for story time and fun activities.  The children's librarian is so good at creating fun story times and coming up with creative crafts. She really knows how to entertain the little ones and for that, we thank her! 

Fun with pasta noodles!

Snow Day # ????

We've had so many snow days, I've lost count.  Seriously it's been more like a snow month.  Mother Nature keeps giving us snow and we keep playing in it...

Walks on the frozen river

Checking on our neighbors house

Of course the snow makes for some pretty pictures

We really do live in a beautiful place :-)

Weekend Outings

Eating out...Mexican at Mi Carretta

Sandwiches at Dunn's Deli

An attempt to attend Winterfest in Blowing Rock

It was really cold, but danced for a few minutes to the music being played while they were making ice sculptures behind us

Like I said, it was really cold, so headed back to the car

Very thankful for modern technology and Thomas the Train!

Winter Wonderland

We got another round of snow showers and cold temps this week. The snowflakes were so big and they were falling so fast, it felt like we were living in a snow globe. 

Pungo came out to play with Ollie 

A little snow wasn't going to stop him from pushing his wagon

Ollie has really enjoyed all the snow we've been getting this winter 

Snow Day Round 1

So January in the mountains has turned out to be rather cold and snowy. We've had so much snow and cold, Ollie has only been to school twice this month. Guess that leaves more time for fun in the snow.  So that's what we've been up to, playing in the snow. 

Checking on the chickens

Fun with Mommy

Fun making snow angles with daddy

Tasting snow for the first time

Ollie is a fan of the snow

Our Little Picasso

Hmmmmmmm, what should I paint???

Painting can get messy

But it sure it is fun!

Yes, he made sure to get it all over himself

He loves to paint and prefers his fingers over the paintbrush any day
