A fun wintery week!

Finally some warmer weather (thanks to a chinook that gave us a record breaking +13 one day!) and time to play in the snow making snow angels! Cara was out in the snow alot this week building snowmen and getting wet with the melting snow. Thanks to Nana for getting this great shot!

We spent a day at Nana's house and Cara played with...you guessed it: puzzles!

The best news this week was the arrival of Cara's and Gwen's newest cousin!
Baby Eamon Joseph Anderson was born on January 24 weighing 8lb 11oz!
Welcome to the family Eamon!
(Cara refers to him as her new little brother-cousin)

Gwen Rebekah - 11 weeks
She rolled herself to her side! She rolled to her side, by herself and stayed there for a few minutes. She's only done it the one time but pretty soon she'll be flipping over and over and over!

We tried Gwen out in the Bumbo chair and she was ok for a few minutes...her neck isn't quite strong enough yet for extended sitting times. She is a happy girl though, smiling at her Husky!

It was a nice week until the weekend and that brought a terrible, cold, blowy, snowy, blizzardy mess. We had a snowfall warning from Friday - Sunday morning and a dump of snow. And it is followed by some very cold tempuratures again....-33!
Daddy and Cara made it to swimming class on Saturday though! Cara is getting braver every week and put her whole face in the water this week.

Gwen thought the best place to be was in front of the cozy, warm fireplace :)

Sisters! Gwen can't keep her eyes off Cara!

Baby in a bucket :)
We aren't torturing her, she wasn't crying until the camera came out! She was rescued right away!

Then Cara had a turn with the bucket.

Cara is getting to be a great little helper. She sets the table almost every day for lunch and supper. She loves this chore!

Nana and two of her grand-girls :)
