Do You Want To Build A Snowman?

Daddy made a super-awesome skating rink on the sub pond and we built a snowman on the pond in honor of the last skate of the season. He also built us this fab fort. What a great daddy-o!

Dear Evi,

You are 5! Such a big and fun age! Soon you will be going to Kindergarten and you are so ready. You are determined and competitive and I think these attributes will serve you well in school. I have been looking forward to seeing how you will blossom in a full day setting for awhile. I think you are going to blow us away! You and Eleni have really become best buds this year as she's grown older and I think she is going to miss you terribly in the fall. You guys really are two peas in a pod and I love seeing your sisterly bond grow. She is so lucky to have you. Even though I look at you and think you are so much older then you really are, you often remind me you are still little. You still need at least one but preferably 2-3 pup pups to sleep with at night. You are pretty worn out after school and occasionally will decide you need a nap all on your own. You have gone from being fiercely independent to wanting me to help you get dressed/brush your teeth/hair, etc. It's not that you can't do it on your own...you have been since you started asserting your independence at the young age of 2 and demanding to wear the same dress every. single. day. :-) I am so proud of you each and every day. I love you to pieces and I can't wait to see how you will grow in the next year.

Love,

Mommy

The Bean Scores Some Holes

In honor of another snow day (technically, cold day) and almost being 5, Evi decided she was ready to get her ears pierced. She was SO brave and a perfect patient. As daddy so eloquently put it, another one down, only one more to go. He's so sentimental ;-)
