we're having a fun time sittin' around

Bennett is sitting! I feel like once a baby begins to sit up then they are no longer a newborn - sad story (I love newborns). He also has cut two bottom teeth (thus the massive amounts of drool). I've loved bathing them together lately. It is much easier than thinking about bathing Bennett some other time (didn't seem to get around that as often as I'd like). So now I just plop him in the tub whenever Darla is taking her bath! Great.
For Christmas my dear friend gave us some bubbles from Gymboree. They are no ordinary bubbles. They last FOREVER. Darla (and friends) have had such a wonderful time dancing, chasing, smashing, popping, and catching these bubbles. I still find bubbles hours after we have blown them. Highly recommended.
I've been looking for cheap flights. Where should we go for Spring Break? As I've searched I've realized why it's called the "mid-west". We are in the absolute MIDDLE. To drive or fly it's quite the trip. More than anything it'll just be nice to have Erik around for a week!
Any advice on how to get rid of a pacifier or how to potty train my two-year-old? I believe those are the next upcoming adventures of this year. :)

Bennett

Darla is about 3 months older than Bennett in her picture. Pretty crazy.

The snow has been coming down - personally I love it because that means that it is WARM enough to snow (therefore not -20). Don't let the picture of Darla and Bennett together fool you, because yes, they are about the same size. Thanks to Ali for the DARLING apron. Darla's love for it is displayed by wearing it daily. That's all for now.
