Abby is 2 years old!

Welcome to the wonderful world of peanut butter... obviously Abster thinks it was worth the wait!

We decided to celebrate Abster's birthday with the immediate family at the old homestead. Of course, an Elmo theme was the only choice for the cake decorations.

It seems that every child in America has to have their picture taken in a laundry basket! So here you go Abby.

Jackson is learning about Dr. Suess at school. He has to create a poster with a time line of the author's life and present to his class. Of course, he is going to wear The Cat in the Hat outfit for his presentation.

Snow was forecasted for Atlanta the night before it arrived. We quickly ran over to Publix and bought out all the bread and milk to prepare for the winter storm. All you can eat french toast at the Schwartzes!!! All the schools and roads were closed the night before the storm just in case... Of course daycare closed in anticipation of the snow.... I wonder if they will give us our money back for the day???

Once the snow starting falling, the kids had a great time playing outside and throwing snowballs at Stiv! They even taught Abster how to eat snow (see the video below).




Notice how unprepared we are for this type of weather. Catie does not have a true winter coat to protect her from the elements, nor does she know any better.


Jackson looks like he is up to no good with his huge snowball....
