my winter is made!

Some would say that they hate winter and everything that comes with it. I happen to dissagree... Sure, I'm not a huge fan of the cold; especially when that means walking a substantial distance before entering a warm building. But that lovely white stuff that comes with it is worth every scarf, glove and toque... Ever since late November I've been eagerly awaiting the first snowfall, but unfortunately even Canada has dry periods. Pretty soon the white Christmas I hoped for arrived in the very seasonal shade of "roasted marshmallow" instead... From that point on I lost all hope that any snow would last more than a day.. but to my surprise, it snowed last week and it's still here!! "What is its excuse for being so tardy?" you may ask...
...I say it was fashionably late.

Into the terrible two's..

there is NO way that he's two.. nope. I won't believe it!
...okay... it is true, his birthday was yesterday. But i still find it difficult to wrap my head around.. I mean.. it seems like yesterday I went to the hospital to welcome him into the family.. looking and studying his perfect, tiny, beautiful features! Fast forward to now and he's running circle's around me!! Sheesh.. all the while saying things like, "stinky feet", "cuuuuute", "got it!".. and the list goes on. Last week I even talked to him on the phone.. well.. all I really understood was the big, "Hello!" at the beginnning of the conversation, then he sort of went off in his own tongue, explaining what he'd been getting into that day.. what a ham..
Anyway, as if he's not enough to keep me entertained, there's also Gabriel, Warren's 8 month old little brother. He's a character of his own.. Always grinning at you and grabbing everything in sight! The cutest thing though is when you see Warren walk over to his little brother and say, "hi Gabe".. they grin at eachother and sometimes Warren leans in to give him a hug and/or a kiss..

What can i say... I love my nephews! :)
