precious moment
Today, Tuesday February 15th (a current post!!) I had a solid schedule for the afternoon set up which of course can be a challenge considering variables Kent and Leon. First commitment began at 11:45 so that means being on our way to the car by 11:35 which therefore means better be getting ready to go out the door by 11:15. : ) I've figured out I need a good 1/2 hour to do this. haha. I finished nursing Leon right on the dot 11:15 - he was falling asleep so I figured best to put him right into his carseat. Well he awoke while I was buckling him in and wasn't to happy to where he was. crying. I snapped Kents socks, shoes and jacket on him (beautiful day out there, around 50F or so) and then headed off to get myself ready and bags prepared and, and, and right? When I darted off Kent went right over to Leon. I could hear him tenderly say "Hi Leon! Hi Leon, don't be sad Leon" I glanced over their way and Kent was holding onto the carseat and rocking it back and forth. Then I watched as he went and laid his chest on Leons legs and continued rocking the carseat back and forth, then he said "Hi Leon, I...love....you!" That is on purpose I (pause) love (pause) you (pause) just the way his Grandma Spencer says it to him! It was so precious, tears welled up in my eyes. Then I walked over to Kent and peered into the carseat with him as he rightfully announced in a whisper "Leon is fast asleep" I gave Kent a kiss on the forehead and thanked him for rocking Leon and talking so kindly to him. Awe it was so SO sweet to hear him say the I love you that way - come on any way he would say it would be sweet - but to do it Grandmas way was touching. We placed a blanket over the carseat and gathered up our things and headed. When I turned the car on the clock said 11:45. Oh well. So goes the story of my life.
{pic taken on january 22nd Leon is one month old wearing 3 month outfit - today he is not quite 2 months
and he is wearing a 6 month outfit!! Wow! so long 0-3 month, farewell 3 month,
squeaking by with 3-6 month, welcome comfy 6 month clothes.}
We were off to go visiting teaching, then I had an ortho appointment at 1pm. (yes that is something that happened in October 2009 I got braces put on for the 2nd time in my life) So between the VT and the ortho appointment I took the children to a friend to tend them so that after the ortho appt I could go to work for an hour. Dr. says they are coming off soon!! Yay! I went and picked up some sushi and headed to the office. pulled up. turned off the car and then I was struck with the realization - no key! - I didn't have the set of keys with it on - Wade drives the Civic to work and we bought another car on Dec 30th an Accord. So apparently I don't think of everything - Wade was prompt to tell me to switch the key over when he walked in the door this evening. Done!

An Alberta winter in Kansas
Wade got to come home early from work today because of the winter storm that loomed. Blizzard coming down and low, very low temperatures out there. Warm and cozy in here! 1/3 of the nation was under this winter storm system. Since he was home from work we decided to make some fun of it. Tent in the living room. Redbox. Despicable Me. Hot chocolate. Cinnamon rolls. one excited little boy. 
Kent has the ability to hear like no other. He perks up and with great delight hollers "Snow prow!! Want to Rook! See it?" I pulled a chair over the to window to assist him in getting in on all the excitement. "Snowprow man out there. Working. See 'em?" "Oh wow!" "Snow! Snow! Oh wow!" "Thank you snowprow guy!" "Thanks!" Another use for his ears he lives for is the sound of the mail man droping the letters into the letterbox (goes to the next house ratta tat tat). All morning he asks for the mail man. "Mail truck! Hear it? Mom! Mail truck!" I will literally stop whatever I am doing and for fun scoop him up or race him to his bedroom window where we can "rook at the mail truck! See 'em!" "Oh wow!" "thank you mail carrier" "thank you mail man" (I've had to introduce mail carrier because we do have a female that delivers our mail) Sometimes I've scooped him up and we've ran to the door in hopes to say hello to the mail carrier - a highlight in his day let me tell you. 
His tractors and monster truck have become snow plows now that he pushes around on the couch. I am corrected if I refer to one as a tractor as it is clearly the season for it to be a snowplow mom.
