Mylie loves to dance

Mylie and I go up to church 2 days a week for Wee School where I teach the 2 year old class and she goes to the 1 year old class to play. She has benefited so much by being around other kids and just having some time independent of me. Last week during our chapel time, I noticed that when the music came on, she really seemed to love it and was actually picking up on the clapping, spinning and other moves. So this morning, I was sure to bring my camera because not only is she precious doing all her moves, she is also pretty hysterical. Enjoy the video!

Catching up...

Here's what we've been doing the last few weeks...

My dad, brother Ryan and David put up a wall and french doors in what used to be our dining room, but is now a office/guest room so baby Coley can have her own room. David still has a few things to finish, so we'll post an "after" picture soon.




Mylie and I spent a few days in Albuquerque visiting everyone and Aunt Cheryl, Aunt Catherine, my mom and David's mom Carole gave me and Coley a baby shower. Mylie was showered with big sister gifts too and she also received a couple of her own babies.





Here's Mylie not really liking the ears the Easter Bunny left her before church this morning. She would leave them on for a few seconds and shake her head until they started to fall off. The Easter Bunny also left her a super cool pair of sunglasses, but she prefers to carry those around with her; not actually wear them.





Happy Easter from the Hicks!

Snow in March

The news mentioned that there was snow in the forecast, but I'm a skeptic and thought it really meant rain. I was wrong. This is around 11:30am this morning...




And this is around 3:30pm...





Mylie has the croup (again) and has not been able to enjoy the snow. The barking seal (this is what she sounds like) and I have put on our comfy cozies and are staying warm inside.

Usually, Martie the lab is outside during the day, but I felt sorry for her today and brought her in...bad day to do so as she has been throwing up from both ends. After christening the laundry room, she has sadly been moved into the garage to recover. She'll live.

And here's Miss Mylie. We were singing Itsy Bitsy Spider in the hallway...trying to cure our cabin fever. Her favorite part is "...down came the rain and WASHED the spider out." We sing "WASHED" very enthusiastically.
