Check Ups

About a week and a half ago I took Dimitri and Karmen to the doctor for their check ups.  Dimitri: 3 years, Karmen: 4 months.  Here are their measurements:
Dimitri: 38lbs (94th percentile) and 38.75 inches (72nd percentile)
Baby Karmen: 17.1lbs (95th percentile), 26 inches long (91st percentile),  and 17.1 inches in head diameter (93rd percentile)

The doctor said they both appear to be healthy and developing properly.  He did hear a slight heart murmur on Dimitri but he doesn't think it is serious but just to be sure he referred us to a pediatric cardiologist.  Dimitri has an appointment with the cardiologist on the first of April.

Good Cold Fun!

There hadn't been snow on the ground for some time now.  I thought that we might have missed out chance to make a snowman the season.  On Thursday the snow came and there was plenty for us to work with on Friday.  When the girls went down for their naps Dimitri and I ran outside in our snow pants and got to work.  We made our first snowman ever.  It was a ton of fun.  We took some pictures with the snowman.  A friendly neighbor, who had seen the difficulty I was having trying to get Dimitri and I in the same picture, took one for us.  When we came inside Katina had just woken up and Baby Karmen was still sleeping so you got Katina dressed and took her outside.  Byron came home when I was getting Kat ready in her snow pants.  So we all went out to enjoy the snowman.  

Mr. Snowman was rather popular.  From our living room window we could see neighbors take their kids outside and take pictures and play with him.  I never knew how heavy packed snow could be until I had to lift his body parts of the ground. =)

2.5 years later...

I finally finished my first sewing project.  I started it when Dimitri was 6 months old.  It's been 2.5 years since then.  Two weeks ago I picked it up ago and finished it last weekend.  This is the first thing that I have ever

sewn with a sewing machine.  I wanted the practice before I started on Katina's Easter dress.
