Tate: After 5 months of fighting with this little guy to take a bottle, we are having a few little victories! And by little victories, I mean about one ounce per week. But, hey. I'll take it.

Also, he loves to jabber and give kisses, both of which just kill me dead on the spot.

Kemry: Yes. This picture sums it up. Grouch. I'll let it slide because, let's face it, I have far more grouchy days than she does.

All I have really blogged this year are these weekly photos.

And that is because our life is just that boring.

We are still waiting to break 50 degrees, and although the snow is melting, there are several inches out there dampening my spirits.

I did redo our dining room this past weekend {with the woodcutting skills of my dad, and a watchful eye on the kids of my mom}, and it is seriously the bomb.

I am super proud of myself, and I only got one blood blister.

Maybe that will make it up on this little corner of the internet?

Also, Tyrel's parents are heading our way sooooooon!

We are just so excited!

We are sad that we can't provide nicer weather yet, but that just means Kemry will have two new people to play Hungry Hungry Hippos with ;)

Tate: Watching March Madness with daddy ALL DAY LONG yesterday. Tyrel likes to start them young.

Kemry: She is so very ready for all the snow to be gone. She was thrilled when she spotted a few blades of grass poking up by our shoveled sidewalk. Sadly, we still have lots of snow to get rid of before we actually see our lawn.

Kemry: We have finally risen from despair with the 40 degree weather we had this week! In the next ten days, we only have one with a high in the twenties, so I am whipping out all sorts of hallelujahs at this point. Kemry has been in HEAVEN with all the puddles everywhere. We are so glad winter is on its way OUT! {Sidenote- all my social media blew up yesterday with so many pregnancy announcements! Congrats to all of you! Hibernating this winter must not have been too miserable ;) }

Tate: This sweet guy has officially moved into Kemry's room. He is still getting up once a night, but Kemry seems to sleep right through it, bless that child. We still usually find one of them in our bed come morning, but they are so gosh darn cute that we don't mind.

How are you guys?

Thawing out?

We still have a good foot of snow on our property, but we can almost see the garden beds!

It's coming!

SPRING IS COMING!

*Also, congrats to my father-in-law for retiring this week! You guys are free to move into Kemry's bedroom, too. But you have to cuddle with Tyrel if you get scared at night ;)

Kemry: In attempts to clean out and reorganize our storage downstairs, Kemry has taken to some old toys she has forgotten about, mainly blocks and her dollhouse. It's like Christmas all over again!

Tate: Dude had a follow-up appointment to look at his kidneys, and all is well! Nothing has changed {although they are still as bonky anatomically as ever}, so A+ for him!
