But as you can see, it didn't take long to start enjoying them. Look at those faces!!

A whole-lotta catching up!
So February just kind of happened I guess and here we are well into March! We stayed busy and it seems like just in such a short time my babies have officially become toddlers. They both turned 18 months old earlier this month and Lia is officially just over 20 lbs now (5th percentile) and Jackson is nearly 28 lbs (75th percentile). Both are chatting up a storm. We're not always sure what they are saying but they are usually pretty passionate about whatever it is. We are hearing more recognizable words each day. Jackson had tubes put in his ears a couple of weeks ago so that should help in in many ways, one of which is in his ability to hear better. We are already hearing new sounds from him and it is exciting to watch.
It's finally spring (as of this week!) and we are starting to have more and more warm days. Both Jackson and Lia love to be outside whether they are swinging, running around the yard, riding in their wagon or "taking doggie on a walk". In fact, we spend a lot of time on the porch as well and keeping them inside is sometimes a battle. I'm so glad they like the outdoors though!
They both love to climb the stairs and in fact, they love to climb on anything! This is especially true for Lia. She's our little "monkey" and finds her way into many many predicaments due to her climbing. We joined Gymboree recently and that has been a big hit. They love going there for a lot of reasons but I'm guessing one of them is because they can climb all they want and when they take a spill it is on a soft mat.
They still enjoy their books, and also love singing, which is pretty entertaining to us. They have started coloring and do pretty well as long as I can keep the crayons out of their mouths. :)
Jackson and Lia are a ton of fun right now and we don't have many dull moments. They laugh so much and can make a big deal out of the smallest things. It's so neat to see their little imaginations at work and to see them soak up everything around them. We are looking forward to more spring days and to all the fun and adventure the coming months hold.
Below are some pictures from February and March. They are posted from oldest to newest. My goal is to update the blog more regularly and not let myself get so far behind in the future!
Enjoy!
Jackson and Lia love playing in the driveway and edge of the street. It's a good thing we live on a cul-de-sac!
Yes, this is the look of a determined little girl (above) and a frustrated one (below), as she got herself "stuck" in the toy drum.
Fun at the park!
Family time outside.

Snow!
We had several inches of snow here a few days ago. It was really pretty and came and went pretty quickly, which is exactly how I like it. It was nice to see the kids to experience snow for the first time and to play in it with them. 
Our family snow picture.
Jackson loved the snow, but Lia didn't care for it at all!
Both of them enjoyed being pulled around the neighborhood in their wagon.

Jackson enjoyed his first sled ride and loved it!
"Mr Independent" walked all the way to the top of the cul de sac all by himself. It was very cute!

Happy New Year!
We had a very quiet New Year's Eve this year. We met friends at a local pizza place for an early dinner. We had a great time. Here are a few pictures from the night.
2009 certainly was an amazing year! It was the year we saw our daughter's face and traveled to the other side of the world to get her. It was the year we saw our son continue to grow - and we saw both our children begin the transformation from babies to toddlers. It was a year of great change and transition - and some challenging times. It was all overwhelming in so many ways, but we wouldn't change a thing - 2009 was the year we became a family of 4 and have experienced more love than we ever thought possible.

We are more blessed than we could possibly describe and are grateful every day.
