Been a while...

Well, so much for keeping up with this like I'd planned. A new year's resolution poof!
I'm gonna try again.

Quick update on what's new in our little world.
Reese is doing her second session of gymnastics and really likes it. She has mastered the forward roll and can do the balance beam at lot faster pace than in the beginning and by herself!
She is also doing swim lessons twice a week for thirty minutes for four weeks and is enjoying that was well.

I joined a Mom's group to make friends. They have weekly play dates which are fun.
She also made several friends in her classes and I've befriended the moms and have met up at the park a couple times.

Gage is just along for the ride. Easy going little guy that weighs a ton!
At his six month check up last week he topped the scales at 23 pounds 8 oz and 29" long!
We went today to get him some shoes for Easter at Stride Rite since his plump, wide and round little feeties won't fit into the cheap cute Target and Wal-Mart shoes.
I ran into this problem as well with Reese.
Reese took some pictures of Gage trying on his first pair of shoes so we could show Daddy since he wasn't there. She sometimes get some pretty good shots, these turned out okay, but captured the moment.
Gage also has pretty much mastered being able to sit up by himself. I still stick several pillows behind him just in case.
He tried the swing at the park for the first time monday and really seemed to like it.

Casey impressively built two above ground garden boxes in two afternoons (with no written plans, that he likes to add) for our veggies we are going to grow this spring. The look really good! One has dirt and the other is empty. We are waiting a couple more weeks before we plant to make sure there are not any more surprise snow storms heading our way!

We are happy happy for Aunt Sarah who got engaged to Preston on St.Patrick's Day!
We are looking forward to meeting our buddy Schafer's new little brother Anderson!
We are ready for the Easter bunny then it's time for our niece/cousin Ellis Averi to arrive!
We can't wait to love the little lady!
