Pieces of Winter.

Some spring shoes just waiting for Scarlett…. here's hoping they still fit by then.

 I had this fun idea in my mind for awhile to take Scarlett ice skating for the first time. That idea was enforced by watching some figure skating last week. I had a love for skating as a young girl and of course, it was one of my many dreams to be able to do a triple axle.  Either way, Scarlett was super excited and did really well, especially for a 2 year old. We may try and visit this more often during these long, dragging months of winter. It will give us something to look forward to while the cold temps make it hard to go outside.

 

library visits…..

We made a chocolate cake last week. Scarlett asked if it was Daddy's birthday. I told her no. She asked if it was my birthday. Again, no. She asked why we were making a cake. I said "It's a just because cake." 

"A just because cake?" she asked. She's been asking for just because cakes quite a bit now. Not a bad idea…..

Long rides from New York to Massachusetts and back result in these kind of car-boredom shots:

We are so very ready for winter sicknesses to vanish. This last bug was a doozy. Scarlett was on the nebulizer for a few days. Here's to wishing for warmer days and no more illnesses: 

A little party:

We went back to Massachusetts for a long weekend and enjoyed some time with family. (More photos of that later) Lunch with her cousin was a highlight.
