Stinky weather

Since moving to Florida, I have made it a point to not complain about the weather. After all, Rochester just got over a huge blizzard, and today, it is feels like -1 there. What is there to complain about here? Especially in the winter where you get 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, for months on end?

Well, I'll complain about this:

Foggy, drizzly, overcast weather for like a week. Just ucky. You can't go outside all day long because its muddy and wet. It's just not very nice weather. Unfortunately, a quick look at the weather online indicates we are going to get more of this the next few days before it goes away.

I'll just comfort myself by continually reminding myself that it is not -1. And Minnesotans, don't you dare try to tell me that -1 is better than the weather we are having right now. Nothing will make my buy that garbage! ;)

So, we have been inside. A lot. We've done a lot of online Christmas shopping and I've run a bunch of errands without the boys. Yesterday evening, we attended the final year residency Christmas party at Jodi's house (I didn't take any pics but I am sure Joia will have some up soon) and had a smashing good time! We actually dropped our boys off at our babysitter Mary's house since she lives just a few miles from Jodi's house. Mary's family has five kids so there was plenty of attention to go around.

I'll close for now with a few snapshots of our lives:

JB hanging out with the boys in the living room during a particularly rainy part of the weekend. We don't let the boys watch videos often, but I think we were giving Isaac a fifteen minute "Dorge" (aka "Curious George") fix. Elijah has been giving kisses lately, but you can tell by the look on JB's face that these kisses are known for an abundance of slobber. Cute but very wet!

Isaac always wants to have a toy with him while he eats. Since we have found it actually gets him to eat more since he eats while he plays, we usually let him. Usually it is a car, but yesterday, it was his giraffe. I had to get the camera out when I noticed he was feeding grapes to his giraffe! I think this is the beginnings of imagination?

Elijah where you can usually find him: underneath something. He spent about fifteen minutes playing with this car underneath the highchair.

Speaking of Elijah, as I've mentioned on the blog before, he is jabbering like crazy. No words but lots of grunting. Here's a video I took of him yesterday. Excuse the just-diaper-attire. I am not sure why he wasn't in clothes, but I am sure there was a reason. You'll see lots of jabbering as well as him in his favorite location: underneath the dining room table.
