Let it Snow!



We had our first snow of the season, a whopping 2 inches. Even though we didn't get very much, Sawyer enjoyed it. He loved throwing snowballs at us and making a snowman with Jon. The girls did not like sitting in the snow at all, but were ok if we held them. We walked down to the creek behind our house and it was beautiful with the snow covering the banks. I hope we will get more snow since Sawyer loves it so much.

Hi and Welcome!


Hi everyone! This is my first blogging attempt, so bear with me. I hope this is a way for everyone to keep up with our family. Well, we're all doing great. Sawyer is in Pre-K and loves school. He has homework regularly and doesn't have a problem with any of it. He has several friends at school. One of his friends invited him to go to Monster Jam (monster truck show) last weekend. He had such a great time and got to meet the driver of his favorite truck, Gravedigger. He was so excited and is still talking about it a week later. Olivia and Isabelle are growing and evolving every day. I can't believe how much they change in just a short amount of time. They are 14 months old now and amaze me every day. They aren't walking yet, but they can definitely get anywhere they want to go. Olivia has taken a couple of steps, but I don't really think she understands what she is doing. Isabelle would rather crawl, because she can go faster that way. They love books and regularly empty the bookshelf and look at their books. Olivia has her own little language and "talks" almost non-stop. She says "mama," "dada," "uh-oh," "bye-bye," and "baby." Isabelle also says "mama," "dada," "bye-bye," and "baby" plus "hey." They make me smile and laugh every day and it makes it all worthwhile.
