Do you Wanna Build a Snowman?

  Well we've had a full week here at the Peck house. It's hard to know where to start! 
  Sleep is a bit of a rare commodity these days. Ever since Lydia turned 3.5 months old, she's been waking up every two or three hours at night. This week was especially bad and I'm pretty sure it's because of teething. One night she woke up every hour for four hours. I hope those teeth are worth it! 
  She's been trying hard to sit up this week. When she's on her back, she'll lift her head and legs off the floor and just hold them in the air. I now know why she's skinnier than all the other babies her age- she's doing ab workouts like all day long! 
   Lydia's also been talking/ singing a lot more. In fact, today in church the primary chorister told the kids that Lydia was singing louder than them all. It was a true fact. I find it amazing how long she can hold out "lalala" with one breath. It's so fun to see her personality coming out more every day. 
  Thursday was a historic day for Lexington. We had the biggest snow storm on record in the past five years. It snowed 15 inches in just one day!  Needless to say, school was cancelled and we enjoyed our second snow day this semester. Loren shoveled snow for four hours so it was a little less of a party day for him. He had some really nice looking biceps after though! 

This is one of Lydia's new favorite toys- after her ladybug of course. She shows it lots of drooly love.
Saturday was taco soup and breadstick day. We tried a new cornbread pull-apart breadstick recipe and it turned out amazing! We shall now be making them everyday.



Friday we went to Ruby Tuesday for lunch to celebrate valentines day. It was good food and Lydia won the heart of the lady in the next booth over. Those eyelashes get them every time :) I have a feeling they're going to be a blessing and a curse. 
  
Loren stayed busy with school this week. He's able to come home and study more and it's been so nice to have him close. I sure love him! Lydia is getting her shots tomorrow and I'm really dreading them. Fingers are crossed that they won't be anything like her last ones. 

It's hard to believe February is almost over. Spring is in the air here as it's supposed to be in the 50s this week. Hooray! We hope Aaron had a great birthday yesterday and are so happy he's one, two, three, four! 

We love you all and hope you have an amazing week!

Home Again!

  The end of another school year is here and with it brings our cross country road trip to Utah. Yay! We planned our trip two months in advance because my dad needed time to book our hotels. At the time, it seemed like common sense to leave right after Loren's last final on Thursday. I mean, what did we have to wait around for? The sooner the better!    Fast forward a week before we were to leave, I was seriously questioning our decision making abilities. Why didn't we just wait to leave on Friday so Loren could help me pack and finish cleaning? I still had a million things to do and couldn't get any of it done with Lydia wanting my attention. Loren was busy studying for finals and I felt guilty asking him for any help. What the blazes were we thinking?! It was a stressful time, to say the least.    One morning we woke to sirens and fire engines blaring. The visitors center had caught on fire! There was smoke everywhere and we spent the rest of the mornin...

"Grandma and Grandpa- Fun!"

  One thing i've really missed while being in Virginia is going to our siblings competitions and events. It's been so fun to be able to see them all in action this month.    Todd and Brendan were both involved in a debate competition. I was really impressed with how well they did, it's a scary thing but they did great!   The Wellsville mile is one of my favorite events of the year. It seems like theres more kids every time and they keep getting faster. We were so proud of Todd and Brendan, they both ran personal best times. Lydia had a blast watching all the kids, she wanted to run with them! Todd's enterauge. Emily and her friends were able to run with him. Great job boys!   This girl has amazed me with her dancing. She's grown so much from last year and is such a gorgeous dancer. It's so much fun to watch her. We went to her end of year dance performance and had a great time. Thank goodness for Loren, he's the only one who remembers to camera to take pictu...

Thanksgiving Bash!.. and Crash

  I have to say, this past week has been the most fun and exhausting week we've had in a long time.  But before we get into that, we had our first snowfall a couple weeks ago.  Lydia was DYING to make a snowman so daddy went out and helped her make one. They had a blast!   Here's some of Lydia's school papers.    The weekend before Thanksgiving our basement flooded.  One of the tubes that hook onto the gutter was pointed directly towards our house instead of away.  Thus, we had water in our family room and the unfinished room.  It kept coming in for two days.  About every 10 minutes we had to suck up the water on the first day, then about every hour on the second.  I think we have learned our lesson and plan on digging trenches to make a more efficient drainage system.  Thanks to everyone who helped! No permanent damage was done and we're so grateful.   Loren had a guys night with his...
