Christmas 2017

I am very behind on this post but needless to say, Christmas was amazing! We had a great day full of snow and excitement. Its been a long time since we have seen a white Christmas like this and it did not disappoint. Christmas morning we headed over to the Knowles house and had a blast playing in the snow, opening presents, and enjoying our new games. Afterwards, we headed to the cabin to lay low and enjoy the Grahams. All in all, it was perfect family time. 

These pictures seemed to pop up in no particular order....

Gingerbread houses

The Knowles cookie day was a success! More cookies than we could ever ask for.




Christmas day with all the cousins

The kiddos had some fun in the snow at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Some lasted longer than others but they all tried at least one run on the sled (except I think Maya stuck with the snowballs)




Grandpa was not feeling 100%, so Bennett got to carry on the tradition of handing out the gifts under the tree. He added his own camo twist to it. 

Christmas morning at our house



We headed up to the cabin the day after Christmas. We had promised the kids that there would be snow there.....there wasn't so we got to spend the day driving up to the mountains. We didn't stop until we found snow.




LOVE this one!



They had fun!

Anytime is the perfect time for a cartwheel. 



Christmas with the Grahams

After Christmas, we met up with some friends at a new gym around us. Trampolines, foam pits, obstacle courses, and so much more. You'd think the kiddos died and went to heaven.
They loved this rock climbing wall. If you fell, you just landed in a giant foam pit. 

I didn't get many of Callie, she pretty much didn't stop moving.

Rolling and Reading

Callie rolls ALL over the place!!! One of her favorite places to end up is her bookshelf. Look what I found! As a side note, it looks like one of our cats is finally accepting that Callie is part of the family (or atleast, she isn't going anywhere) and has become very tolerant of her. She lets Callie "pet" her and will even walk up to Callie (which, if you know this cat, is VERY unusual - there are some people who still have never seen her). The other day when I was getting Callie from her nap this was outside her door. Apparently the cat loves Callie enough to bring her toys.

7 Months

This month seemed to have flown by just as quickly as all the others. It's crazy to think she has been part of our family for seven months already. We have had our first real battle (and are still battling) with a never ending cold. She has been a trooper though - although I wish that we could do more to help her. Here's what is new (things have moved very quickly this month): She is up on all fours. She seems to be taking after her cousin Clara, where she can crawl backwards but not yet forwards - which can be very frustrating as the toy she is trying to get to seems to just keep getting farther and farther away. After she learned to get up on all fours, she very quickly learned to go from all fours to sitting. We have yet to find any real foods that she will turn down, although green beans appears to be her favorite so far. When feeding her green beans she will lean forward VERY far and open her mouth as wide as can be just to get the next bite. We can't seem to get

10 Months

So, I am a bit behind. It is officially the end of the school year and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with learning the new job and the close of the school year. Much different from the classroom. When I took Callie in for her nine month appointment her pediatrician checked her ears (which looked totally fine) then made the comment - I don't mean to jinx you but has Callie had an ear infection yet? To which my response was no (she had a super mild one that they gave us medicine for just because we were getting on a plane to Pitt) - in my mind, my response was "no, but we have had everything else imaginable"! The newest thing: last Friday when Callie got up for the day, her eyes were swollen shut. Turns out she had pink eye which was no fun. Many rough nights later she seems to finally be getting back to her happy go lucky self. Here are the newest things about Callie: She continues to get quicker walking with a push toy. Her teachers love watching her outside at da
