Life back at home

I figured I better do an update on what we have been doing since we've been back home. That pretty much means an update on Zeke. He still absolutely loves being outside. I wish I was a better mom and allowed him out more often, but it is just so darn cold. We finally gave in one day and took him out to play. Toby, in an effort to keep Zeke off of the slippery driveway, dug a path through the snow in our yard.
I felt like we were putting him in a rat maze, but he was too smart for us. He still managed to find his way and make a break for the street.
Then Toby made this sweet sledding hill for Zeke to try out. We used our multi-purpose stainless steel bowl as Zeke's sled. He wasn't sure if he liked it at first, but he definitely loved it by the end.
For Valentine's day I told Zeke to blow kisses and showed him how. It wasn't long before he was blowing kisses to everyone. The best part.... he does sound effects and everything.

Of course, we haven't just been playing around all the time. We do serious stuff too.... like eat dinner. Zeke didn't get the serious memo though and decided to have a little fun.
It's hard to teach him that you don't want him doing this at every meal when you're pulling out the camera and laughing at him.
And last but not least... back outside. Zeke wanted to help his daddy shovel the driveway. He didn't mind one bit that it was snowing. That actually made it all the more fun.
