Growing belly, snow, Ezra and piano

Well, we have turned into one of those 'post every two weeks' blog, along with some lame titles to the posts. Oh well. Sometimes taking pictures gets old and you feel like taking a break for a while. The pictures will probably start up again once our baby girl is born. Ezra keeps us busy though.
Heidi is 32 1/2 weeks...so we are under the 8 week until Heidi is due.
Due date: March 15th
This was taken back in early January. We got 8 inches of new snow in one day...which is not all that common for Spokanites.

Do you think this is the best way to teach a kid to walk? He is getting close to walking, but still is a little sheepish on actually balancing and taking steps without dad or mom holding one of his hands.
Between Christmas and savings, we got a piano...via Craigslist. You think I (Dustin) am going to be playing this? There is a greater liklihood that I would learn to high jump our van before I learned to play the piano. Heidi would have an easier time teaching Ezra to play the piano at 17 months old then she would me.
I am thinking about trying to learn the guitar though. For those who know me...if learning to play the guitar actually occurs for me, my grandfather might turn over in his grave.

Ezra's U.S.A. readoption

Yesterday, we were down at the court house for Ezra's official US Readoption. The jist of what this means is that Ezra can now get a US birth certificate and a Social Security Card as well.

Nick & Papa Sawatzky's birthday

Their birthday's are about a week apart, so we all decided to celebrate at the same time
Nick's sister Stacy came up to Spokane for the weekend, in case you had any questions about why Nick has two ladies kissing his cheek.

Brushing teeth...

When Ezra sees dad and mom brushing their teeth, he puts his finger in his mouth to show us that he would like his teeth brushed also
Ezra smiles with joy as we prepare his toothbrush and toothpaste
It is almost here!!!
In process
