What does April snow bring?

We sit inside on another snowy evening - and its not an April fool's joke! We got home just before it really started to blow and have spent a nice night in.

Myla and her dad had their weekly day together and played a lot. She is really into putting things in and taking them out again - shape sorters are the toy of the week. And talking! She'll tell you a whole story in das and las and doys. And sometimes, she'll laugh at the end of it, which is so sweet to hear. Myla has also been practicing her coloring skills today. She started doing it with a pen and so Johnny got some crayons. She didn't like the blue one so much, but had a great time with the red one. She tried coloring on everything. Luckily she doesn't put a lot of pressure on it yet.

I think the most amazing thing to me was to watch her hold it. She tried really hard to hold it like we do with our pens when we write. It was kind of fun to see her try and figure it out - the crayon would slip and she would try a different hold. I even tried to color with my whole fist around the crayon to show her, but she knows better. You could see the wheels turning.

And now, to put an end to all the speculation... Our framily the Tessems did this for their three kids. (Yes Jeff, I occasionally scroll to the bottom of your blog to see what you have hiding there.) We thought it was a fun idea and so we tried it. You asked, who does Myla look like? See for yourself...

Now you will be able to sleep tonight huh?

What the, is that even possible? She looks 100 percent like both of you? Well, good thing, she's such a cutie! So, have you got the traditional warm up yet following the spring freeze? I hope so, we had beautiful weather today, from which I got a lopsided sunburn, just on one arm, I should really wear sunscreen always! Hey, we're seriously researching getting a puppy or dog right now, and so we might be picking your brain. Hope you're doing great!
Love ya'll
K and framily ;)
