Well we are surviving. We are trying to get back in our routine. It is starting to warm up a bit. The highs have been in the upper 40s and 50s. The snow is starting to melt. Spring is near. YAY!! Caelyn and Chad are working on their dance routine for the spring show. It is really cute. If all goes well, Caelyn will be starting Catholic School in the Fall. She is still learning a lot at her preschool. She is starting to write letters. She read "Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See" the other day to herself. It was from memory, but she read it. Cayson is now 9 months. he is getting to be so big!! Cayson is crawling and pulling himself up on everything. We started eating meats. Not a big fan. No teeth yet, but I think he will have something in the next week or two. I can feel some bumps on his lower gums. He is talking away. We are starting sign language with him. Caelyn is excited about showing him all the signs she learned. Caelyn tries to be really helpful with Cayson too. She likes to try to feed him and give him his snack.

Fun in the snow

I wanted to take Caelyn out to play in the snow before it all melts. The temperatures have been above freezing and we won't freeze to death after a few minutes outside. It had been raining so the snow was pretty packed down. It was really hard for Caelyn and I to make a snowman, nothing like what you see on TV. I was sweating out there. Our snow man is more like a snow Jabba the Hut.

Cayson has figured out how to crawl - the right way. It is quite humorous. No more army crawl. He is really good at it now and really fast. This is Cayson after he pulled up on the stair rails, with close supervision of course. Video of him crawling is soon to follow.

Cayson's Baptism

Cissy's Wedding

We were all excited to be apart of Cissy and Garland's special Day!! We had so much fun.

Tea Party

Right now Caelyn is very into tea parties. She was able to have a special tea party with Aunt JoAnn.

Cayson Being Cayson

Cayson is getting really close to cutting teeth. Nothing yet though. He loves putting EVERYTHING in his mouth. Spoons are one of his favorite. He also likes being naked.

Valentine's Day

On the plane

Both Caelyn and Cayson did great on the plane to Texas for Aunt Cissy's wedding and Winter Break. Cayson liked walking up and down the aisle looking at all the people. I think Caelyn did well because she just wanted to get to Texas and see her flower girl dress.

Chinese New Year

We took Caelyn and Cayson to the Chinese New Year event at the local library last month. Caelyn insisted on trying the lo mien with chopsticks. She was actually pretty good.
