Snow Day

This was the view out our living room window this morning.
School was canceled!


















And even though we have no pictures, you can imagine the playing in the deep snow that happened! Mama and Simon rolled, flopped, dove, slid, jumped, etc.

This is the post snow musical interlude that we had to wait for the hot chocolate to be cool enough to drink.
What a great morning!

No matter how bad the day is...

Bubble bath can make it better.

February Break

Among many fun things we went ice skating with Cousin Julia.

















Daddy and Mama actually got to be adults for a little while and go to the Met.























We thought cell phones were not allowed in the museum- clearly we were wrong.























Simon absolutely loves getting to spend time with Aunt Erica and Uncle Peter. (And we think their babysitting skills are top notch!)























(Don't tell Erica that this photo is up here- we promised her we'd check all photos with her first- but I couldn't resist Simon's joy as they were singing, "I love my rooster..."

All Weather Zoo

We go in the summer, spring, fall, and winter. We go in the rain, sun, wind, and snow. We go to the zoo.
















Simon was very very close to a snow leopard. One of the great things about going to the zoo all through the year is getting to see the animals in the kind of weather they like the most. And yes, Simon is in the stroller. It is the first time we've used it since November when we used once. And before that August. I'm guessing it is the very last time. He really doesn't fit.
















Here Simon is next to the Red Panda who looks just like his bedtime friend, Rhoda.
















And this silly peacock wanted to ride the carousel with us!
