Winter Happenings

Well this winter has been really mild. We have had really nice weather and not too many cold days. We purchased a wood stove before winter and we have loved it. Charlie likes to get it rocking up to 75 in the house mind you that we only set the heat on 66 so it is hot to us. They are calling for snow tomorrow we will see I suppose.
Well Ian and Nathan are playing basketball with Upwards. Nathan has yet to really grasp it all but he tries. Ian is in his 2nd year playing and I am surprised that he has improved so much. He has scored in most of his games and today he scored the most on his team. The other kids are not playing any sports at this time. Callah is still playing the flute for band and Emily is still doing the guitar.
Samuel is now crawling and it is fun. You forget how much you have to keep up. He found the fry daddy the other day and lets say he moisturized his skin well. Thankfully it was clean oil in it so he did not stink. It took lots of paper towels and salt to contain it. He thought it was fun.He is also trying to walk holding on to things. He has been a little brave and stands alone at times. He has cut his top teeth and bottom as well. He went for his 9 month check up and he lost a little weight but is still over 20 pounds. He is in the 70th percentile in both weight and weight. Mason goes for his preschool assessment in a few days. He is kind of excited. It is hard to believe that in less than a month Ian will be 8. I will try to update it soon.
