Hello to the blogging world. We made it through the holidays just fine and this week is the end of the "week" off that I had. We didn't travel anywhere or do anything spectacular, but that is what made it so spectacular. We got a ton of things done that have been on our list below the high priorities like eat, work, sleep, bathe, etc.. We are a very happy family. Liam is becoming more coordinated. I taught him how to climb up onto a chair without any help and he got it first try! I think he's got a pretty good strength to weight ratio. He also has a lot of new words. He knows some signs, he's watched the first two signing times over 50 times each. I'm serious! I could sing and sign those puppies all the way through if I had to. We have a little DVD player in our car and he watches movies while we drive. Because he knows signs he won't say the word and he'll point or do a sign. But, the other morning, he was sleeping with us, he woke me up and pretended to still sleep. You see, as soon as I'm awake I'm fair game to entertain him. So as I lay there in bed he whispered, "Eyes. Nose. Mouth." Touching each feature gently with his finger. Mouth wasn't pronounced correctly, but I knew what he was saying.

Lauren is the hardest worker in the family. She works three shifts at the Harv, takes care of Liam, does all the books for the business, and manages to keep me happy as well. She just colored her hair so just when I thought Laur couldn't get any better looking she surprised me. Unfortunately, we won't be graced with a photo of her. I do have some of Liam though! This first one is when we went night skiing a couple of nights ago with Lauren, Mary, and Eric Jensen. For all you Loganites Mary was a Grewe. It was really fun and I got a few WOOOOOs out of Liam. He was in a backpack on my back.



This shows the cute gap in Liam's teeth.



We don't have huge Mountains in Boise but sometimes the sunrises and sunsets are really pretty.
