What a day! We are living in a winter wonderland!!! Add to the hassle of packing two kids up in general...now think digging car out of two feet of snow---scraping windshields, bundling up two boys...stomping through the two feet on snow to get them to the car--life just got a little more challenging. God's sense of humor is starting to take its toll on me quick ;)

IT IS SO FUN TO SEE ARCHER AND HOLDEN'S RELATIONSHIP BLOSSOM! It's wonderful to see a side of Archer that really loves and cares about his sweet baby brother (even though Holden offers absolutely nothing in return at this point). Today Holden woke up and was fussing and I had a few more dishes to wash..the second he woke up Archer ran to his room, threw open the door, and started yelling, "mommy Holden is awake mommy" "mommy he is sad sad sad" "MOMMY HOLDEN IS CRYING MOMMY"...he was so put off by me not responding immediately. He then proceeded to climb into his crib and was saying, "its ok baby brother, mommy is coming baby brother, here take your pacifier holdie." What a sweetheart!!! There are still moments where he requests that I put baby brother down and give him a hug, but overall he seems to be enjoying him! This evening they were laying on the changing table together looking at the mobile and Archer was telling him what color the various fish were...super sweet. Also, as I was unloading groceries today Archer brought about 10 balls over to Holden in his bouncy seat and was telling him what the different balls were for...I instantly envisioned the two of them playing together in a random yard at our future house and my heart melted!

What else, Colin and Archer had a blast tonight! The thing about lots of snow outside if either you bundle up and enjoy it...or you wrestle/combat cabin fever! Colin said, "this kid just gets better everyday."

Last thing because it's 9:30pm and Colin is watching Intervention without me..oh, two more things...actually..THREE. My favorite thing Archie says right now is "my sure do mommy." If asked if he would like to do something that is usually how he responds. Number two, Archer's sense of humor is picking up..tonight I was asking what he wanted for dinner and he said, "mmmm..a pillow mommy..." and then died laughing, and we went back and forth for what seemed like forever saying silly things we were going ot eat for dinner and laughing hysterically! Third, tonight while I was nursing Holden he would stop and just start talking---he is such a sweet boy (when he wants to be).

Oh, Holden's 8 week checkup today-12lbs 14oz. 21.5 inches long! She said, "your milk must be pure cream" I'm not sure how or why, but for some reason that feels good (not that there is a thing I do to make it happen..I suppose because nursing isn't always the easiest option it feels good to know it's growing a little guy).

Wish us luck tonight, we have decided to break Archer's habit of waking in the middle of the night for a bottle--WE NEED SLEEP!!! Last night Holden slept from 9:30-1am, but the power went out (noise machine off) and Archer woke up from 11:30-12:30...YIKES!!!!

Ok, Holden is awake?!?!

Night.
