How big is your snowball?

I guess the official total is 5 to 6 inches.




The dogs had a great time in the snow. Lincoln even thought he would run away last night during the heaviest snow to see what it looked like around the neighborhood.




I was trying to see if I could beat Stacy's record snowball from 2004. I think it was about the same size. It is amazing how hard it gets to push a snowball that is over 3 feet in diameter.

The snow has begun to fall!!!!

We are finally getting some substantial snow at our house in Charlotte. I've been waiting 5 years since we have lived here to get more than 2 inches at a time.

The snow started about 6:30 tonight and we already have over 3 inches [8:00pm]. If it keeps up through the night like it should, I should have a good base for snowboarding down our gravel road in the morning.

Will might even get out and join me.

We will post more picture of the fun tomorrow.

Update [9:30pm]:
We are up to almost 5 inches and still snowing. We went out and played in the snow for about an hour. Stacy built 3 snow people and 2 snow dogs. I tried to snowboard down the road. The snow is actually too wet right now. Maybe it will freeze a little over night to make it better to ride in. But here are pictures of tonights fun...

The prince in his throne

Will does enjoy his Bumbo seat...his Christmas present from Andy and me! I love his duckie outfit.

Too many pictures :-)

Smorgasboard from Will

Aren't my velvet pants cool?!?

It's official! I'm a real, live baby! I got my birth certificate in the mail a few days ago :-)

This is me and my Daddy's cousin Watts. Isn't he cool? We had a great time playing!

I've had a couple of requests to see pictures of my room. Here it is!
Mommy says it's still a work in progress.

My Daddy made this changing table piece to fit on top of my dresser. Aunt Ellis painted this picture for Mommy and Daddy a few years ago and it works perfectly in my room!

Aunt Ellis painted the animals for me too. Grandpa and Grammy's friend Steve painted the cool Corvette and Aubie on this window with my name. Isn't it awesome?!?

I love to watch my mobile and talk to the animals around the bumper in my crib.

This is Pierre the bear. My Mommy was very excited to finally get a chainsaw carving. She watches them being made at the fair every time she can!

In other news: Ike is starting physical therapy today! I think he's going to walk on a treadmill that's underwater - wow!

My penguin suit

Mommy and I went shopping for Uncle John and Aunt-to-be Mary's wedding...

She taught me a couple of new words.

What do you think - Am I dapper or debonair?

Love, Will

Driving lessons

Will thought since it was such a nice sunny day (and in honor of his new turtle outfit), he should go for a drive in Tortuga.

I thought he needed a few lessons first.
Here we are checking the rearview mirror.
He was very excited to have successfully completed "driving school."

Notice the bib says "Slow Poke" what a misnomer for Tortuga!
Ready to solo...

In other news Ike finally went to the vet to have his leg rechecked...he had some shoulder xrays done. Good news: No surgery! Bad news: He has calcification on one of his tendons from the repeated injuries. We're going to look into physical therapy to help with the pain. Lincoln was there for moral support.

Caught in action?

Stacy assured me that she was just holding Will in her lap...
