First snow fall

We got our first snow last night, somewhere in the neighborhood of 7-8". Landon was eager to go outside last night, which we did for a couple minutes, but it was already dark. This morning, Landon was awake for a total of 5 minutes before he wanted to go outside. Since it was 5:30 am, and still a little dark out, we waited until after breakfast.

All bundled up and ready to play!

It's hard to tell who enjoyed the snow more, Landon or Elke.

Good thing Landon's birthday and Christmas are right around the corner. Landon's sled is getting a little too small (or Landon's getting too big!).

And, a quick little video.

Disclaimer: Elke may have a slight obsession with snow, the shovel and anything she thinks she might be able to "catch".

I went to the Dr. and got a tatoo?

Landon had a recheck this past week for his double ear infection he had a couple weeks ago. The day after Landon's medicine ended, he complained of his ear hurting. He complained several additional times throughout the course of this week, which is just not like him. I thought for sure the medicine either didn't clear it up, or there was damage to his ear since his ear drum had burst. We got to the Dr. and his ears were perfectly clear! Awesome! On the way out of the clinic, the receptionists showed Landon the basket of stickers. Landon chose a tatoo. Alright, let's give it a try. Landon was pretty pumped, and bath time has been interesting. Here is the tatoo several days later.
