No matter how cold it has been, even though it's been below 45 degrees... Jacob loves to go outside and explore. He just discovered this spot at my mom's house in the back. It has great dirt for digging (with other twigs) and tiny pebbles that are great for throwing at the cats. I let him play for a little while, but once his hands are the color of a red balloon, we head in. He wouldn't even stop, even though I bet his hands are completely numb. What a trooper. There is just too much to explore and not enough time. Since Jon's been gone, we've had to keep ourselves really busy so that we don't think about how much we miss him. Jacob has picked up on coloring! Which I'm so excited for. I've been waiting for that moment since he first arrived on this Earth! I've been planning so many crafty projects to do with him and so far we've made several cards (which I need to send out still), colored Halloween pictures, done sidewalk chalk almost everyday, and haven't gone out to eat once (only because we have to get rid of all the food in the deep freeze since we can't take it)! We usually go out for DQ at least once while Jon is gone. Now that I think about it, Jacob was meant to live in a place where it is super cold. He loves it. I still have to go buy some long johns for the both of us and some snow boots too. I guess I've been a little busy with other things :)

This isn't from Jacob chewing on the chalk... oh no... he bends over and licks the chalk off of the cement, after it has been applied to the sidewalk... it must be easier that way, or maybe it just tastes better.

Amy, dear, there is an invention called GLOVES that you can put on Jacob's hands that will keep them from turning red and falling off. :)
In the meantime, I think I need to knit that boy some hats!! His head is going to freeze in Montana!!
CUTE pictures. Hmm, I have never tried chalk right off the sidewalk, maybe I need too?
He is going to freeze in Montana, but he's going to enjoy it. It rained yesterday and everytime I tried to take Jacob in the house, he threw a huge fit. Finally I just had to take him in and convince him that it was ok because now we get to take a bath! He gave in and stopped screaming. He is becoming more and more like Jon every single day. :)
I love the walk pics. So Cute! And so funny about licking the chalk. He is to stinkin cute!!
Those are precious, and simply made me smile today!!
That one where he has been licking the chalk makes him look so old (and he totally looks like Jon)!
Thanx for the smiles!
