The ski season

This ski season was full of pretty good snow and a lot of days on the mountain. I always forget how much Callie loves to ski until she starts again. She loves to rip it up on the mountain!

Clara and Callie with the mountain all to themselves. 

This year we started Liam. It took a lot of bribery and a lot of patience....but he reached the goal that I was hoping for - he wants to go again next year. He had a blast although he probably had more fun playing in the snow than skiing. 

Grandpa joined us to help me encourage Liam 

On the slopes.....

Laurel and Callie also had some epic runs and loved pushing each other to try new things. 

Thanks to Grandma, I even got my own "adult" ski day with friends and family!

Liam and I headed up every Friday that we could. One of the Fridays, unfortunately we got stuck at the pass and spent a couple hours just sitting in the car. Luckily he is an easy one to entertain. 


We had some gorgeous days on the slopes this year

Thankful for this little buddy of Liam's. We could not ask for a better friend for either of them!

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
