We hit our first 50-degree temp of 2008 yesterday, and the snow has been melting fast! And Sarah turns 2 next week! She has had a touch of illness lately, and had her first power-barfing episode a couple of nights ago at 4 a.m., which scared her a little bit and kept mom and dad up for a couple of hours washing her bedding and comforting her. She looks pretty happy here, though!
Sarah's vocabulary has been growing quickly! Among the words she can say are poop (her first word!), teamwork (her second, thanks to the "Wonder Pets"), Mama, Daddy, Max, Harley, Noah, Lucas, Caleb, shoes, shirt, socks, hat, pants, butt, car, fly, what's that?, circle, pig, dog, cat, birdy, horse, moo, turtle, duck, frog, sheep, show, fork, spoon, munch (milk), water, Nemo, mouse, one, two, phone, sleep, baby, blanket, red, blue, purple, orange, green, please, some, run, all done!, candy, go, out, up, book, tickle, nose, heart, hot, cold, ouch, boo-boo, bite, more, fun, star, sun, towel, ball, and choo choo.
Sarah can point to (or say) the following body parts: head, hair, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tongue, teeth, chin, hands, fingers, wrist, elbow, shoulders, arms, legs, tummy, butt, and knees.
Noah can also point to (or say) those body parts, but he was too tired from hockey and school! Noah made the A honor roll for the second consecutive trimester this past week, and he'll be recognized at a special ceremony at school on March 19. He's heading into his last trimester of sixth grade at Edinbrook, and will most likely attend seventh grade next year at Osseo Junior High.
It's fun to see what you look like in the mirror!
Flying high on sugar!

Bad, BAD puppies, Max and Harley! Time to go to the vet to get tutored!
Sarah got hold of a leftover Valentine's Day sucker today, and ate it while wearing one of the boys' winter hats.
This little girl needs a bath!
Where did everyone go?
Getting ready to dig in the snow.
Super cutie!
Grandma Gordon is visiting us for a few days this week, and she arranged for Sarah to sit for photos at JC Penney for her two-year-old pictures. Sarah wore two outfits, one of which is a Norwegian outfit that Erin wore 30-some years ago!
Lucas and Caleb celebrated their ninth birthdays last weekend. They had several friends over, and thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Wynne, they all got to go snow-tubing for two hours over at Elm Creek Park. Then they came back to the house for cake and ice cream.
Erin came home from work one morning last week with Harley, a two-month-old male Pekingese puppy. Rich, who didn't want another animal in the house, says Harley's middle name is "Mud," although he must admit that Harley is pretty cute. Just not as cute as Mama Erin!
Harley has no fear of Max, who weighs 40 times as much as he does! Max has to defend his bone from Harley quite a bit, but Max never lashes out at him. Just has to growl a bit.
When Max goes outside to the bathroom, Harley sometimes goes along to learn from the big boy.
Sarah got a new puppy, too! A mechanical one (thank gosh!) from Grandma and Grandpa Gordon.
Sarah loves her new robot puppy!
