Best Friends?

As most of you readers (all three of you!) know by now, we are snowed in here. We basically can't get anywhere right now--with more than 4 feet of snow in the past few days. Eli has been having a fun time, even though it's really set back my work projects not to have a sitter! And skipping the gym is making me really fat! Especially since we just sit around the house and eat!



Here is Eli just after coming inside from playing in the snow with Dada--who unsurprisingly is almost always willing to take the little guy outside to tromp around. They made a whole line of snowmen in the front of our house. Eli thought that was neat, but he liked shoving snow down a drainage gate and watching it disappear more.



FYI, he has hot chocolate in his hands, here. (Or warm chocolate, as is his wont. Everything is "too" much right now--so if he hears any music it's "too loud", hot chocolate is "too hot" and whatever you give him is "too much".) Also, his shirt says "Chill out" which I think is appropriate.



Poor Whit--because we were so smart to live SO CLOSE to the medical center, he had to go in to work on snow day while lots of other people just called to say they couldn't make it in. STUPID JERKS! So he worked until after 2 am last night. Anyhow, he couldn't get a car out so he had to walk in--look at the snow he had to slog through!! No that is not a bush--that's the actual snowfall height.

Dora is OBSESSED lately with sitting IN things. She climbs into baskets, (obviously) into drawers, and into or ONTO anything she can. She can already climb up onto the futon and sometimes onto the couch.

Here she is in her (current) favorit perch--a bottom drawer in the kitchen. She opens it, empties it, and then climbs on in.

Eli has been sitting down next to her lately and cuddling up! He will hug her, kiss her, etc. and she puts her little baby head on his arm and shoulder and chest! It's SO cute--it melts my heart! I am so glad they are finally being friends (most of the time.)

Here she was about to kiss him.

And laying her head on his arm...

And a hug!
