Beating Tarah...to the news that is! GAVIN WALKS!

Officially, Thursday afternoon was the start of Gavin's biped adventures. With Savannah, I was sitting right there in the kitchen watching when she took her first, but Gavin decided to wait until I was at work. We actually thought he would do it about 2 months ago, which he probably could have, but he just never wanted to even try. He could stand for short times without holding on and he could walk like a pro with a loose grip on one finger, but as soon as we would let go, he would just drop like a rag doll. Up until Thursday, when he finally decided that 2 legs might be a little more fun than 4. Well. Here we go. Two kids now that we'll have to corral.

okay...so it's been a long time. I know.

yeah, yeah, yeah, but i'm not the only one who has slacked off with posting new blogs. and I know I don't have to say it, but...sorry that i haven't kept everyone up to date with what's happening here.

Ever heard of Sondre Lerche?

I changed the music playlist on my blog to give you a sampling. He's the guy who composed the music for the movie "Dan In Real Life." I really like his stuff so far, but I don't know too much about the guy, so I'll have to keep checking his music out for anything alarming. So far, so good. A little different sounding and unique timing of his own. Gabe, I'm taking a shot here, but I would bet that you might like his music.

what? 3 months since the last blog!

wow. crazzzzy. ha. I just thought that I should at least break this cycle of neglect. At first I was just too busy to blog, but then it became kind of a cycle of shame that prevented me from posting. As long as you don't post another entry, you can always just tell people that you're too busy to ever even think about your blog. But if you post an entry, then you have to admit to yourself and every one else out there that you do, in fact, know how long you've neglected your relational duty to inform loved ones and friends about how life is going for you. Ahhh, the shame. And salt in the wound for me is the fact that my blog is my homepage. So, everytime I get onto the internet, I have to navigate right past its pleas for attention.

Anyways, life is going great. Off to watch a movie.

January Pictures

Just in case some of you out there aren't looking at Tarah's blog also, I am going to copy the slide show here from her blog. These are pictures of the kids from January.

Surprise...snow again

Well, it was drizzling some light rain when we sat down to play Catan, and then when we finished, all we saw was white. This morning, as she usually does, Savannah came running to our room upon waking and realizing she needed to pee. Only this time she stopped in mid stride as she passed through the living room and saw the glorious sight outside. Luckily, we got her to go to the bathroom before she insisted on going outside to play (and make yellow snow!).
