Snow, snow, and more snow

We've been getting more snow this year than we got last year.  Daddy went to Denmark for two weeks in January and was greeted with two feet of snow when he got home.  Kara also got a bad stomach bug early this month, followed by a cold (with Mom and Dad).  Between getting sick, the snow, and the cold weather, Mommy and Kara have been spending a lot of time indoors.  We're all ready for Spring!

We finally buckled down and got serious about potty training this  past weekend.  So far it's been working out really well.  She's only had a couple little accidents since then and will actually initiate going to the potty these days.  We're so proud of her!

Kara is starting to speak in complete, (mostly) grammatically correct sentences, like, "Can I come along?" or "I will put on my shoes and then we go out to eat."  It's amazing how fast she's growing up.

Some quotes from Kara:
• "What's that?" - Kara's favorite question, she asks at least 100 times a day
• "Yum, oranges.  They're my favorite."
• "I'm going to go pee pee in potty.  I be so proud of me."
• "Can I go shopping?"
• Daddy to Kara - "Where was Kara born?"  Kara - "In South Ta-ta-lina" (she still refers to herself as Ta-ta)
