Catching Up

It has been so long as we have been very busy these past few months spending time as a family and finally feeling comfortable in our new normal post-deployment. I figured instead of covering everything that has been going on with the boys, I would touch on some main points.

First off...Liam



The biggest thing that has changed with Liam is his age. Liam celebrated a fun 5th birthday with a class field trip to the firestation...



a nice family party at home...



and his first class party....at the bowling alley!!



He had a great time and we our loving our little five year old!! Liam continues to excel at school and is really enjoying his class there. We are so happy with our choice to put him at Trinity. He is learning so much every day and is beginning to sound out words to write. He is also learning all about God and Jesus, of course and has taught us some interesting facts...like that Taylor is not Liam's father...God is his REAL father....and that King Herod is in Leavenworth Federal Prison (he was a bad guy and that's where they put bad guys). He also loves to sing us all the songs he learned for his Christmas program and did such a fab job (videos can be seen on the video site).

Other things we have learned about Liam is that he is a bigger fan of Halloween...



than Thanksgiving. :)



This month has brought lots of snow to Kansas and Taylor and I were thrilled to find that Liam was a MUCH bigger fan of snow this year than last and was more than willing to play outside as much as he could:







Christmas this year was very fun for Liam. He was able to do an early Christmas with his Wezwick side and celebrated Christmas day with Mimi and Tooey. It's so much fun to enjoy the season with a 5 year old who is constantly filled with excitement. He was certain to wear his track pants, explaining that he and George were going jet skiing that night. Huh?



Yeah, our Mr. Man can be a bit silly, but honestly...how can you argue with this?



And now...Big G...



I love Mr. G...but...wow! Here is the main reason I haven't been able to post much lately. This little guy is busy busy busy!! George is super super smart and so full of life...a deadly combination. Some new things that George has been experiencing since my last post are....

Moving into his new big boy bed a week after climbing out of the crib:



Trick or treating:



Trying nuts:



Shoveling his first Kansas snow:



Having playdates:



and sledding:





Christmas this year was really a joy for G. He understood more than I expected and told me.."wake up, presents!" And honestly...there's not much better than watching a 2 year old experience Christmas.





I plan to get back on track with updating with the new year. We recently found out that we will be moving again in June and should find out by April where we will be headed. In the meantime, we are really loving Kansas and I can't get enough of having the privilege of staying at home and being the Mama of these two little men.
