I'm not sure how much snow we got here — probably 5 or 6 inches. Enough to be irritating, but it was still possible to drive through it. Just a few miles north, however, they got considerably more. Dave took this photo while he was out working somewhere by Monango, N.D.
We're pretty hardy folk up here, but with the blizzards, then the flooding, then the blizzards, then the flooding, a person's stamina for winter does start to wane about April.
... The kids haven't lost their stamina, though, as you can tell from this photo. Erik made an attempt to climb the stairs today. This is as far as he got. He couldn't figure out how to lift his feet yet. But he's motivated (notice his sister egging him on), so I'm sure it won't be long.
He was so darn proud of himself.We tried to do some more babyproofing last night, but there's one problem I can't keep ahead of. We've had a ladybug invasion lately. They must have hatched out as soon as it got warm — er, make that not so ridiculously cold. I vacuum them up several times a day, but there always seems to be more. Tonight Erik just about ate one — hand was already in the mouth, but bug was still in the hand. Yech. Though I suppose there are worse things than bug eating, and it does show his hand-eye coordination is improving. Yech all the same.
