We were so excited after a nice mild winter to have one good snow this year. When the flurries started Sunday morning Amelia was so excited and ran around saying "It's snow time!" We ended up not getting to play until the next morning when it warmed up a bit and by then we have a good 6-7 inches. Amelia was very excited about the snow, but was not real happy that she could not walk in it. Everytime she would take a step and sink down she would say "help me, I'm stuck!" She still looked super cute in her little hand me down snow suit though.

SNOW February 2012
2 and 1/2
It is so hard to believe in a few days we will be halfway through Amelia's second year! Already this age has brought so much change and growth. We have reached a stage where Amelia is constantly talking! Whether it is singing a song, playing with her toys, or asking constant questions from the time she wakes up until she is alseep she is never silent! I love hearing her little voice and even all her questions. I can't help but think she is just such a smart girl. Her memory and associations amaze us as well. Micah calls her mind a steel trap and it is so true. Something we may just mention in passing does not go unnoticed. She remembers everything! We are taking advantage of that memory and teaching her lots of bible verses and songs. I pray that those words will be etched on her heart for years to come.
Fall Fun
One of the best things about living in Central Virginia is the wonderful fall season. Not only is the weather close to perfect there are so many ways to enjoy it. Some of Amelia's favorite activities have been going to the zoo, a couple of different apple orchards, the corn maze and just being outside at our local parks and trails. I love to see all of these things through Amelia's eyes. What can seem like such a simple thing can bring her so much joy. She loves to hold on to at least 1 or 2 leaves when we take a walk. She is quick to point out the trees! and mountains! And animals of any kind are always a hit. I am so thankful for these days with my girl!
