Party of Five: 02.10

2.13.2010

I can't believe that I'm blogging about yet another snow and I have to say that I'm very unhappy about it. DFW has had a record snowfall in the last 2 days of 12-14 inches!!!!! It was expected that we would get only 3 inches. I don't like the snow, it's cold and it makes life difficult, it took me almost 2 hours to get to work on Thursday, then I had to take a vacation day on Friday. I am very thankful that we only had 12 inches though and not the 20+ that the east coast has been having. Here's Caleb having some fun in the snow...

Caleb and Daddy had a snowball fight in the backyard (sort of)

Okay, I'm ready to come in now

The next morning when Dad shoveled the driveway, Caleb helped.

January 2010

Wow! It's already February, the months seem to go by faster and faster!! COLD, that's the best way to describe our January, I am really hoping that some warmer weather will come our way and very soon. We spent last Saturday at Arlington Ballpark for Rangers Fan Fest and it was in the 20's while we were there. Even though it was so cold there was still a large turnout, we were unable to get "tickets" to wait in line for autographs. There was one point when it was so cold that my hands hurt! Thankfully we spent a lot of our time in the indoors of the ballpark. We did go out onto the field so Caleb could run the bases but he wasn't having any of it. That was the first time that I have seen my son turn down the opportunity to run wild. Don't worry we bundled him up and he had a blanket too. The best part of the day is when we attended a Q&A with Josh Hamilton!!! It was all worth it then. :)
Caleb and I have had a few playdates with his friend Megan, we spent a Sunday morning at the Fort Worth Stock Show. Caleb loved all the animals but only to look at, he wasn't having any of the petting of the animals. We would go up to a cow to pet them and he would get scared and say no, no. At the petting zoo he wasn't interested either but he did want to kick the chickens and throw the sawdust in the air! When it was time to leave he wanted to "touch the cow" but it was too late. He'll have to wait until next year. It was so fun watching him get so excited about the animals, he LOVES his farm animals and when dad got home from work Caleb made sure to tell him every animal he saw.
