Fun at the children's museum :)

Abidale

Abigail had been calling her slept abbey for a few months. Today was the first day she used her full name and called herself Abidale. It was so cute.

Another snowy day in Iowa. There is a 2 hour school delay again. Andrew will love that.

One Book, Two Book

Today we went to the One Book, Two Book festival in Iowa City. The highlight was Andrew having his face painted. The first year we went to the festival Andrew really loved interacting with all the authors in small groups. The festival has changed somewhat and it doesn't seem to be as interactive as it was. We did meet Lauren Long, the author of Otis, and that was pretty cool. Andrew seemed very interested in the illustrations.
Abigail's favorite part of the day was going down the slide at the library. She also liked to take books off the shelf and then walk away. Fun for her, but not for me ;)

Pig tails!

What a big girl in pig tails!

-50 degrees out!

School was cancelled today due to extreme temperatures! Wow is it windy outside. Nelson went in to work but we stayed nice and warm in the house. We played, did art and acted silly.

A lazy Sunday

Woke up this morning to the sound of giggling in the living room. Andrew got Abigail out if bed and they were coloring at the table and giggling. So sweet!

A fun evening of bowling

We enjoyed getting out of the house and going bowling with the Pfeiffer's. this was Abigail's first real trip bowling and she really enjoyed high fiving after bowling with Nelson. Andrew played a great game and actually won, boy was he excited! The popcorn was a hit and I think all the kids were more into the snacks than the bowling.
