Loving Life

We are staying busy these days. Alana began track this week. She plans to run the mile and seems to have enjoyed her first practice. We are excited about going to the meets that start in March. Tyler is going to start soccer in March as well. He's not too thrilled as he has become more interested in video games lately. Both he and Alana are doing well in school and are looking forward to their next break! Nicholas continues to be a joy. He is squealing and "talking" more and is rolling over more often (stomach to back only). He's such a happy baby and is growing too fast. Grammy and PawPaw came to visit this weekend, Greg and I went out to see Ladysmith Black Mambazo at the Walton Arts Center. It was great to get out just the two of us. Sunday was church and family time with G & P and the Abide's. It was a great weekend!
The pictures below are of our Super Bowl party, Tyler's 2nd grade Musical, and Tyler's Valentine party.

Tyler's Birthday

We have been busy with life and I have just not made time to update the blog-sorry. Alana is playing the guitar and piano as well as singing and even writing songs, she is so talented and wonderful. She also won second place in an essay contest she entered at school, the subject was "What Does Memorial Day Mean to You". Her prize is a savings bond. We are so proud! Tyler has been busy playing in the snow (we had 2 major snow storms in January) and playing with his friend Nick Elrod. Tyler has also been working on is Accelerated Reader goal, he is now at 60%, go Tyler! Nicholas continues to grow and is becoming sweeter than ever. He started eating carrots this week and loves them. He ate almost a whole jar the first time I introduced them to him. Nicholas rolled from his tummy to his back on January 23 and has not done it again since, silly boy! We love you all and hope you enjoy the pictures!
