Six more weeks of winter...still?

Ann Arbor got hit with another 8 to 10 inches of snow over the past three or so days, making this a winter that locals say they haven't seen in many years. We are kind of enjoying it. I get the chance to run around in the snow and even help Mommy shovel the sidewalks (of course, Daddy fails to accomplish this task before going off to work and the city will issue a $500 fine if you haven't finished the job within 4 hours after the snow stops falling). Besides that, and the recent basement addition to my play space, there are a few small additional items. First, I have started to talk....a lot! I say "Momma" and "Dadda" -- to the correct person -- a lot, my parents are convinced I am saying "be happy," and I say "ohhhhh" when I fall and "Yeah" when I am asked if I want ANY food item. Very cool. I also have grown quite fond of jumping on things. Meanwhile, I am very much looking forward to our Caribbean vacation coming up soon!!
