This past week has been a tough one here at Casa De Martin. My parents left on February 1st and lately it seems to be all I can do just to make it through the day. There isn't much time or energy left for blogging... especially after a bout of strep throat for Ally (that involved massive amounts of vomit clean up for me) and a cold for us both. So you're stuck with pictures. These first four were taken on Sunday morning- Ally was feeling well enough by that point to need a project, but she was still too contagious to take to church so we decided to make some valentines for our favorite family members. She's a big fan of finger painting!
These last pictures were taken this afternoon. Ally was getting bored and there is nothing that cheers her up like a little photo shoot... especially if it involves a chance for her to show off her mad tumbling skills!

Saturday Snow Day
It was a day for the record books here in Norfolk, VA- we got approximately 7-8 inches of snow which hasn't happened in over 10 years! In the 3.5 years that we've been living here we've never seen more than a dusting of the white stuff. I have to admit, I was totally skeptical of the winter storm warning issued yesterday and openly mocked my salon for closing and rescheduling my pedicure, the people stacked like sardines at the grocery stores, and all the local schools and businesses that shut down before even a solitary flake fell to the ground. I assumed it was a typical overreaction but I now stand corrected! I love snow so I'm more than happy to admit that I was wrong!
We had a great day today- stayed in our pajamas until after 10am, played in the snow, watched some Australian Open tennis, and I managed to get my closet partially cleaned out and 2/3 of my maternity clothes packed up and put away! It appears that tomorrow is going to be another snowed in day- our church has already cancelled all services so we're planning to stick pretty close to home again and just enjoy the beauty of the snow since it'll likely be gone by Monday since the temp is supposed to get up to 40 degrees.
Without further ado... here are the pictures! Enjoy!

Ally at 22 months and 3 weeks
The little monkey discovered today that she could hang on the dining room table to swing just like the uneven bars at the gym!
Hank at 3 weeks and 4 days
Our little Hank weighed in at 9 lbs and 13 oz (fully clothed and diapered) today!
I LOVE the last picture! My dad took it while we were standing in front of our back door and the light was just right.
