January

January brought with it a couple of awards ceremonies for the Elementary kids.

If you are curious about how Jack got the cut on his chin, he ran into a garbage can while he was playing football at school.

Thomas is busy he loves playing with balls still but has branched out to animal has learned a bunch of animal sounds and baby signs. He also pulls himself up on everything works his way into the funniest spots. One of his favorite places is to stand up on the inside of our big barstools. I'll have to get a picture of it.

Mer was in a Broadway Review for her Drama class at school and performed a song from Suessical the musical. She did great.

Thomas got a taste of his first bouncy house at our friend Emma's birthday party. so fun.

Thomas likes to take baths with Luke who dazzles him with his mad bubble blowing skills.  He also taught Tom to say Bubble which comes out more like "Bu Bu".

I started taking Tom to story time occasionally at the library. He is mesmerized by all the little kids running around.  The scarfs are pretty fun to play with too.

Mer took a little vacation all by herself. She flew to Colorado for a weekend to see the snow and visit Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Rachel.

They spoiled her, she had so much fun.

I can't remember why I took this picture but sleeping babies are just cute.

Thomas learned how to feed himself a banana. He can eat almost a whole one all by himself.

Oh, this was cute, we went to Taco Bell and Jack had to rummage to find the whole collection of Hot Sauce packets. Each one has a different spicy message

Thomas took his first steps all by himself in January. The kids were soooo excited for him. Here his is walking a little at Max's soccer tournament.

And on that cute note, Good night!
