Silly Smiles

Tim has started his last semester of classes and is off to a great start.
We also met our one year mark since we bought our house and we thought it was a pretty cool mile stone. People have said that the first year of home ownership is hard and it takes a few months to get used to, personally that was not the case for us.
Another mile stone we are meeting is 4 years of marriage on Feb. 24th. :) Just before classes started Tim's Grandpa Lucore came to visit us for a couple of days. Tim hadn't seen his grandpa in 12 years. It was a great visit. Skylr has recently become addicted to playing with play dough as well as pretending her necklaces are snakes. Her imagination has just burst and we are really enjoying her take on fun. Skylr is almost three now and is learning so much, she can say her ABC's and count to 10, she also has an amazing memory. She was told a story in October and still tells it over and over.

We were also able to go to McCall to see all of the ice sculptures. My parents, brother, Tim's mom, and our family went up together to spend the day.

Gavin is such a little charmer. He loves to be snuggled with mom and smile to us all. He has become a funny little giggle baby, but sure does need a lot of attention.

Skylr loves to be with her brother and tries to hold him, but after about 15 seconds she says that he is to heavy. Gavin had his 2 month check up, a month ago, and was 13lbs and 24in he was ranked 75% for both.

I gave the kids there first hair cut, i guess it was more like a trim. Skylr got bangs and Gavin got a trim around the neck.

Gavin LOVES his bouncy chair (as long as someone is willing to talk to him while he is in it) he likes the freedom and the change of position. He has such a strong neck that i was able to start putting him in their at 2 1/2 months. Sky was 41/2 months before she was in it.

We are all doing very well and have managed to stay healthy so far this winter (knock on wood). We are excited for spring and think that it is taking forever to arrive. We are still getting used to Tim's new schedule (as we are for a while after the beginning of every semester), and can't wait for graduation in December this year (this fall is his last semester and it is just student teaching). The kids are growing and staying happy and well as mom and dad (except for the growing part...i hope!!!) lol :)
