Such love!!


TJ on his Christmas present. I think he will have to grow into that one.



He likes it for now, but just wait a couple of years.

We are training him early who to root for!!

Such a pretty girl!

Well, hello everyone. I cannot believe it is almost February! Wasn't it just Jan 1st??? We are doing well. Surviving the record snowfall in December and the really cold temps we have had off and on. I am really ready for spring. BJ has been busy at work, but is having some difficulty with the guys sometimes. I tell him that is what he gets paid the big bucks for. :) We have been busy with Ella's preschool group. We started two days a week the beginning of January. It is more of a time commitment, but Ella really loves going and learning. She is doing so well with it too. She can write her name!! I am amazed. I didn't even know she could do it, but one day she sat down and just wrote it. She is such a social butterfly. She loves her friends and can't wait until she gets to go to school and see them again. TJ is growing so fast. He is almost 6 months old already! We have started the baby food; which is always an adventure. He doesn't like the rice cereal, but will eat it begrudgingly if it has bananas in it. He loves peas, carrots, and squash. He talks all the time. I thought Ella talked a lot, but I think he has her beat. He talks when he eats. Not just "mmm" noises, he will actually jabber while he is eating. For awhile he was even talking in his sleep. Ella even complained; I asked her if she slept well and she said "Brother talked and talked and wouldn't be quiet". Too cute! Luckily that only lasted for a week or so. We have his 6 month check up on Feb 17th and so we will see where he sits on height and weight. Attached are some recent pictures. Hope everyone is doing well!! We love and miss everyone!
