An up and down day...

Up to the hospital this morning, for another p.t. eval, 

and down to the mailbox this afternoon!

Waiting for the therapist at Sierra's appointment.  This time, Alexander was into playing with some toys.  I snapped a few pictures and can now truly TOTALLY see why 

so many people keep telling us the kids look alike

(Oh, and on a different note...here's a picture of Alexander from 2 years ago!  Found it last night and wanted to post it since it's almost St.Patrick's day a.k.a. Sierra's half b-day!)

It's like the kids are looking in a mirror...

Wild huh?!

Mommy rested her eyes for ten minutes today.  

Some days I just need a couple seconds to sit still

These pictures are in random order from today.

Sierra!  Getting so strong!

You like this ball... I think we need to bring in Titus' ball like this from up by the firepit!

 

My hands' palms hurt from so much breast feeding.  Ouch!

I took a few stolen moments during nap time to clean the upstairs windows.  What a difference it made.  I am trying to turn away from chemical cleaners and towards more eco friendly/environmentally safe alternatives.  My recipe for cleaner

2 cups water

1/4 cup white vinegar

1 tsp dish soap

I am super happy with it!  Hooray!

And the kids and I took a walk down to the mailbox after they woke up from their naps this afternoon.  Mt Hood is just so pretty.  It look like they have a ton of new snow up there.  Very soon we'll all be on skis/snoboards!  

Maybe a couple years from now?

Alexander held Mommy's hand and Sierra was in the ergo carrier.  Love being able to wear you little girl!

On the way down we touched almost every reflector along the road.  Since our development's road is private the snow plows do not come up during winter.  The HOA is responsible for maintaining the road... and this year someone put up reflectors to help residents know where the road is when it's covered.  Every time it snows most of us end up along the side of the road.  That's what prompted us to trade in the Subaru because that couldn't make it up the steep hill.  Anyways, today was the first time Alexander walked all the way to the mailbox... 1/2 mile.  

We started to walk back up and called Daddy so little buddy would have energy to play outside around the house with Daddy and Titus too.

Alex, you wanted to bring a piece of concrete back 

home for Daddy.  How thoughtful.

It was a heavy and big piece!

You also found a broken bungee cord along the road.

We held hands and had such a nice walk

After Daddy picked us up (we made it almost halfway back up the hill)... we all played outside as the sun was setting.

You jumped from stump to stump... counting... 

1, 2, 3, 4!  

What fun to see you counting and knowing what the numbers mean.

Looking for "creepy crawlies"

Sierra, you snuggled with Daddy too.  The battery in my phone was super low- so the quality of the photos fades here.

Happy girl! xoxo
