Updates...

JUSTIN:
I signed up Justin for Pre-School next fall. This is something we think he really needs-despite the cost. He needs interaction with other kids and also learning to take direction from others. It is 2 days per week for 2 hours each. Right now, they live 3 blocks away, but are hoping to move so that the teacher can stay home, as she has 2 children of her own. We had a little “preview” of school and Justin did pretty well. We were the only ones there today, and she hopes to have 8 students total. This is a good number for Justin to get acquainted with before Kindergarten next year.

Justin is growing up so quick. He is able to transition to a booster seat in the car and it is so much easier. He still gives me a run for the money and is stubborn as all get out.


CLAYTON:
19 months on Wednesday. Where has the time gone? He is running around like a big boy. Clatyon will climb up on just about anything. He has mastered turning over the toy bin and putting under window to then climb up to look out the window. He is still teething, so cries for no reason often, hoping this is a stage. He is also learning how to fight back. Justin took something of his yesterday and he walloped him! He just had his 18 month checkout a few weeks ago and is growing well. We are no longer on “weight watch” for him. He is still low statistically, but is now gaining weight.

TWINS:
I am in my 18th week of Pregnancy. We have our Ultrasound on the 11th of March. We are looking forward to finding out what we are having, and will be happy with whatever we are given. I feel like we are waiting to find out what we are having to move on to the planning / buying stuff stage. We are excited.

Breakfast and fun outside!

Sunday was a gorgeous day outside. We were out at the "farm" so the kids got to play outside. As soon as Uncle Derek walked outside, Justin was putting his shoes on and out the door.

Uncle Derek bringing over a chicken for "inspection". More like poking.

And peeking through

This is after we finally got them in their boots and before he fell in :)

Just a cute bum picture. I couldn't resist.

The guys chatting it up. (Note: 10 years ago it would have been behind a big old TRUCK, now it is the mini vaan).

Justin's pose. The sun was in his eyes, ,but he is still smiling.

And, of coarse boots and a stick will keep us occupied for hours.

Jon and Bons Yogurt!!!!

Jon and Bons is the best yogurt there is. We haven't found the same thing anywhere. We have a yogurt shop here that is close, but just doesn't cut it. Had to go there 2 times. Would have gone Sunday night, but we were so tired from so much visiting all weekend long.

Susie and James

Kay and Tsiava

Saturday with Couins

Miranda (Todd's Sister) brought over the girls for a visit. The kids played and had fun together.

Justin and Nellie playing matching cards...sorta.

Our travel down south

It took us 11.5 hours to go what normally takes 8 hours (including the stops). We hit traffic due to snow. Had to chain up, but then took them off shortly after since it wasn't really chain worthy.
