Happy Birthday Taigan!

Wow! I can't believe that Taigan is 4 years old. Her birthday was on Jan. 11th. I can't believe how grown up she is. We love having her in our family. She is always making us laugh and keeping us on her toes. We lovingly refer to her as our little velociraptor because she is our little fence tester. She takes after Trevor in that way!

Anyway, she had been wanting to have a Tinkerbell party and invite lots of little friends. But as we went through the holidays, I just never got around to planning a party and all of the activities to go with it. So, about a week before her birthday I asked her if she would rather take her two best friends to Build-a-Bear instead of having a big party. Lucky for me she thought that was a great idea. So, the day after her birthday I took Taigan and her two best friends, Mason and Abby to Build-a-Bear. We had such a great time and we even stopped at the indoor playground at the mall after to play for a little while. We then came home and had cupcakes and ice cream and opened presents. It was the perfect little party.

Snow, Snow and more Snow!

So we, along with everyone else in December, had a lot of snow. It's very unusual to have so much snow in Seattle, but the girls really enjoyed it. Because of the snow, our winter break started 3 days early, due to school closures. Unfortunately, we will have to make up those days at the end of the school year. On Christmas Eve, we decided to make the most of the snow and we made a snowman. The girls had such a great time with Trevor. Boston and I watched them and took lots of pictures. Trevor saved the day by stopping at the good will earlier that day to buy each of the girls a pair of snow pants. It was the best $4 we've spent in a long time. Here are some pictures of our first ever Seattle snowman, and Taigan's first ever snowman.



Two Months Old!

I realize I'm a little bit behind, but I wanted to post about Boston's two month old check-up. He weighed in officially at 13 lbs. 3.5 ounces and measured 24 inches long. These measurements put him in the 80% for weight and the 90% for height. He sure is growing and we just love all of his fun rolls on his legs. Boston continues to steal all of our hearts and we are so happy to have him in our family. Here is a cute picture of all of the kids.
