We have been getting snow and it is lovely. We haven't had more than an inch actually accumulate at one time, but it is so lovely to watch it fall. In the last week I saw more snow than I did during the whole 5 years we lived in Virginia! Ethan's reaction the first morning he saw snow was great: "Daddy! They're flying around and chasing each other!" and we have happily watched them chase each other ever since. There have been breaks, it is sunny right now, but we have seen some each day this week. There is very little laying on the ground right now.
I figured it was time for a bit of an update. Jeremiah still enjoys his job very much and keeps plenty busy. He looks forward to Monday and is a little (appropriately little) sad to leave his projects and come home for the weekend. We are gradually working on projects around the house. Two children really inhibit the speed of accomplishing house projects. Right now we are working on painting the trim in our living room white (it was deep burgundy).
Ethan and Hans are as busy as ever. Ethan still loves his diggers, tractors and tree trimmers. He likes to pretend he is a tree chipper when he is eating. He puts food in his mouth and sticks his arm out across the table as the chute that spits the chips into the truck. He has a VERY creative imagination. He has found a new joy in cutting and gluing paper.
Hans is progressing towards walking. He will walk all over the house holding on to someones hand and occasionally he will take a step in between objects. He still a very happy little trooper. He is working on words too. He has his own version of a lot of words and he will work at imitating many different things. Nothing besides ma-ma and da-da is easy to recognize though.
I am doing good. Bit by bit I am learning to know people. One of the moms from our church started a play group at her house and I have been going to that. It has been a great way to learn to know some of the other moms in our church. I am also remembering to value the great friends I have via phone and email. Thank you all for your friendship. It is a very valuable thing. I have started several crafty projects for the long winter months, but I fear they will be put on hold through the holiday season, which I intend to enjoy thoroughly and begin early!! i love our house and I am getting more attached to it as it feels more and more like home. It is a fun home and good place for raising a family.

Great to read all your updates on your growing family! I thought you may have gotten more snow, We are waiting for our first one altho we had about 5 minutes of it fall once that very few people noticed since it was so light.
did you get to Pa for the family Thanksgiving meal? We plan to be there for the Christmas meal-all of us, providing it isn't snow in MA. Joe has snowplowing contracts. Will you be there?
