Winter time

Happy new year everyone, I'm hoping to be able to write more this year and keep posting pictures but I always say that and it gets away from me... We had a great christmas and new years visiting family and friends. Everyone was happy and healthy and it was nice to have Mike home for so long! Quinn and Violet had their 9mo check ups a bit late but everything looked good. Quinn is 20.lbs 3oz (about 50%) and Violet is 14lbs 13oz (about 3%). They aren't crawling or walking yet, but do roll around and scoot a bit. Violet loves standing up and holding on to stuff but hasn't quit mastered how to pull herself up yet. Within the next two months I expect we will have a set of movers on our hands, as much as fhet terrifies me to acknowledge. Daphne is doing great and getting so big! She is great company and a wonderful chatty companion for me all week long. At her 3 year check up she was 28.5 lbs and 37.5" (50%) and right on track. I registered her for preschool at the John Michael Kohler Art Center last week, she will start 2 days a week in September. It is a summer away but I cant believe it's so close. She is excited and I know she will do great. It's an arts based program and the classroom is so wonderful, full of fun toys and so much natural light. The teachers are really friendly and the building has so many great resources the kids utilizes (theater for dancing, outdoor courtyard, art exhibits, performers, etc). Other then that we are enjoying the snow that finally arrived and working our way through the rest of winter. Next up is valentines day so we have started our morning crafts with that in mind. Then before we know it we will have a 3 year old and two 1 year olds.....where does the time go!!
