Oh the weather outside is frightful..

[rkold]

So for those who don't know we were hit pretty hard with the recent snowmaggedon. I'm concerned that we missed our chance to have our driveway plowed and will need to shovel it out ourselves. It is do-able despite the 22+ inches of snow, Hubby is from Colorado and I use to shovel at our old place where we had to do the driveway and the sidewalks. It's just not a happy thought especially with a baby fussing in the house. (since we are blessed to have a baby who sleeps well at night, but does not during the day lol )

In other news, yesterday Adina turned 3 months... I can't believe we've had her for 3 months, in some respects it feels like she has always been a part of our lives and in other respects it still feels hard to believe she is really here. She's also grown and changed so much in 3 months. She's now around 10 bs 9oz, making her still on the small side for a 3 month old. She is so much more alert and can use her body more. She's starting to hold up her head and truly look around. It is still amazing to me that all of us were once just like her.



How to build a snow fort easily... leave a table out in the snow.




As far as I ventured outside today


That big lump is our car and those small black things are the windshield wipers which we stood up before the snow came to make the car easier to clean.






One of the few pictures you can sort of see the gray blue color of her eyes










With her Aunt and Nanny

Adina and snow from the last 2 storms before this one







I'm still working on my WDW trip and we're now being joined by my Mom and Mother in Law (YES! Built in baby sitters!) I'm also trying to work on all my pregnancy weight gain. I gave in and bought an actual scale, now to eat better and exercise more.

These pictures brightened up my night! Especially this one (http://yamanote-line.net/baby/baby0553.jpg), eeee that sweet little face! ♥

Haha your car looks like a bug with antennae XD Love the baby and kitty picture, and it's so interesting to see elements of you in your other family members!

I can't get over how adorable Adina is :) (And how large is your cat?)

That picture of Adina with the kitty just kills me. They're both so gorgeous and she takes pictures so well.

I feel your pain on the shovelling. I spent three hours yesterday with amet & her father shoveling out our driveway and the cars. It was rather ridiculous. As it is, I'm peeved out that the school I work at is the only one in the area having school today -- and a half day at that. I'm hoping when we leave in a few, the roads are not as bad as I fear they are. -__-;

Awww! I thought it couldn't get much better than the baby-and-doll pictures, but the baby-and-cat picture is the cutest!

Hope you have a fantastic time at Disney... and congrats on the built-in baby-sitter! ;)

She is sooooooo cute. <3

Also, that is a LOT of snow. o.o

Adina is just soooo cute! It makes me want to come out & visit you & hold her! And wow ... the cat looks like it's bigger than baby! ^_^

I'm glad I could brighten your day! Having Adina around usually brightens mine, particularly when she is smilie. :D I feel bad because sometimes it is hard to catch her smile with the camera.

Yes, I think I look pretty similar to my parents/siblings and my grandmothers. To me, Adina favors my grandfather. lol

It was amusing seeing the car so buried in snow, but it took until today for the complex to dig us out.

Cookie is around the same weight as Adina, 10lbs. I think last appointment she was 10 or 11? She's not a super huge cat, but she's not a tiny one either, if that makes sense.


That's Cookie with my 13" Laptop. At least I'm pretty sure it's the 13" MacBook Pro

Ehehehe, no I have a ton of bad pictures too where she is pulling a Calvin face lol I just take a lot of pictures. It's a lesson I learned from dolls and taking flower pictures in Japan. I adore Cookie, we adopted her in 1994, so she's been just such a part of my life.

We got lucky and early afternoon the complex came and did do our driveway after we partially dug out the car and moved it. It did help a lot even though we had to do some because there is just SO much snow. I think CT was among the hardest hit places.

I've been trying to get pictures of the two of them together but it's hard because Adina is not so good at sitting up still lol (Which is how that picture happened, Adina fell to her side onto the very patient Cookie.)

I'm so so so excited about WDW, particularly every time I look outside and see our mountains of snow. How much did you guys get?

[rkold.livejournal.com]

We got crazy amounts of snow and sadly I am not that fond of snow anymore lol

I think she is the cutest baby ever, but I am very biased. :D

[rkold.livejournal.com]

I'm sure she would want to be held by you, she's very friendly. I think though we would rather visit you since you're not below 30 and full of snow lol


Cookie and my 13 inch Laptop. So I'm not sure how big that makes Cookie? I think she still might be bigger than Adina though since Adina is on the small side. There are people who give birth to babies that weigh the same as her so...

Darling Adina photos.

She sure likes to keep her eye on you.
Fun to see your 4 generations.

Boy so much snow!

[dilettantka.livejournal.com]

That snow is amazing. I wonder if we'll have any in Tokyo this year.

Adina is a beautiful little girl! I'm not surprised she's photogenic, since you always look cute in pictures yourselves XD I thought maybe it was a learned art, but apparently it's genetic, haha.

and I *just* got your package in the mail, I had a mystery redelivery slip and just signed for it a minute ago. Thank you so much for thinking of me!!

[bramblyhedge.livejournal.com]

The snow looks sooooooooo pretty. <3 It's really hot over in NZ at the moment so I can definitely picture myself diving into a snowdrift right about now! *g*

Baby! Kitty! Baby! Kitty! Baby and kitty together! *explodes from cute*

Re: Darling Adina photos.

Now she does lol At first I wasn't as sure she noticed people but now I am 100% sure of it. She seems to particularly respond to me and Kennis since we're her parents.

Yeah, a little too much snow if you ask me.

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Hopefully you won't get 22 inches. A little snow is all right, but 22 inches in a single storm is excessive. It doesn't help we previously had a lot from two other storms. Now the piles near the townhomes are taller than me!

HAHA, neither Adina nor I are as photogenic as you think, I just take a lot of pictures of her and only show the ones that are cute. I also have plenty of pictures where she is making weird faces which I think are cute, but I am her mother lol I am looking forward to tomorrow when she will see my friend Rachel's son who is 2 month older than her and has about 6lbs on her. I think Adina is incredibly pretty, much more so than I expected, but again I am super biased. I still sometimes can't believe she is mine.

I'm so glad it made it to you safely *hugs* I always think of you and if we do all come to Japan please let me know what we can bring for you!

[rkold.livejournal.com]

I've been trying to get a good picture of Cookie and Adina for weeks now. I'm hoping to get some more, but it's hard since Adina does not like to sit up lol

The snow is pretty but is just too much. We now got an email warning us about how it could leak into our apartment. UGH!
