Welcome back blog-readers!A month in review:

| Evelyn, Erin and Kristi Yamaguchi |
It's been almost a month since I've found the time/taken the time to write. We've been BUSY! Even as the snow continues to accumulate outside and hopes of spring push further away, we keep plenty busy!
Our favorite weekend activities include:
- Children's Museum; a grandparent membership allows us to visit regularly and we love the sensory activities, make-believe and expanding our freedom!
- Eagle's Nest indoor play gym; a chance to release some energy, meet other kids and exercise!
- Java Train Coffee Shop; a local coffee shop with a fabulous Boxcar Clubhouse for kids! We like going on our own for weekend brunch or meeting friends!
- birthday parties and
- Bookstores and books; From weekend puppet shows at the Public Library to book reading events at The Red Balloon!
Our favorite activities at home:
- Tea parties for all the dollies and stuffed animals; we make cookies and muffins and even invited Grandma-ma Roxanne over for tea.
- Reading Books have continued to be a favorite past time, along with playing with letters (letter magnets and flash cards), numbers and shapes.
- Puzzles; while the chunky shape puzzles become less of a challenge, we seek out more advanced puzzles to work on.
- Playing make-believe; copying mommy and daddy by cooking and cleaning (organizing and washing) in her own little kitchen
- Art activities; stamping and pasting cards for holidays and birthdays, making collages, drawing shapes (circles, lines, "polka-pocks"), fingerpainting, painting with brushes, markers, crayons...
