Dear Grace and William,

The first week of no new snow all winter long and just before spring.  In fact, some of the giant snow piles at the house are beginning to melt away.  

The house buying and selling is going well, with the buyer and the inspector at our present house this week.  We agreed to do a couple of things as conditions of the sale so Dada is working on them, along with everything else on his plate.  

You enjoyed the company of Elizabeth this week for a day.  We cannot wait for her to start in early April on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.  As usual, you both love Natasha.  Your faces perk up when she arrives and she plays with you throughout the day, yet you both take good naps during the day too.  

William, you had your hemophilia clinic appointment.  Grace joined us too -- and we were in the big room so you both could roll around on the bed in the examination room.  We went in with a small bruise on your right elbow, William and by the end of the week, you had a small bruise on your left elbow.  This learning to roll and move on your stomach stuff is probably testing your elbows a bit.  So far, no joint bleeds yet.

Grace, you seem to have mastered rolling and are now crawling backwards.  Susan was here this week and she is so impressed with your new-found skills.  And Susan and Mommy decided not to tape your neck on the right side as your neck is a bit red from previous taping.  This taping is a Japanese technique that helps your neck on the left side stretch your muscles that hold your head up straight.  We have seem great progress with the first two weeks of taping.  And with the taping, comes more frequent OT sessions to curb your shortened neck muscle.

Harry went for a walk to the dog park near the house and we all came along for fun.  It was a sunny day and Harry found lots of dog friends to run and play with.  You both sported new sunglasses and had fun being bundled up and in the Baby Bjorns.  

We await spring anxiously -- and of course, love you with all our hearts,

Mommy and Dada
