Jenna is right on the verge of walking. She has taken about 5-6 steps alone. She still prefers to crawl, but she is oh-so-close. Natalie likes walking on her knees. I think its really funny.

We had snow for about 2 hours, and yes, this cancelled school for the entire day. I mean, really?!?!?!? 2) Since the blizzard, we have been spending a lot of time outdoors!  In 2011 we didn't have a spring. It went from winter to summer in 1 day.
