January Monthly Update

Big changes for our family came this month!

I left my job at CTI. Lots of factors contributed to the decision, and it was not easy. I've always had a full-time job, so it's been a big adjustment for me. I still get to do some accounting work part-time and I also get to spend a lot more time with the boys. It's a very big, important job that is more meaningful than any others I've had. We have had so many snow days at school that they will have to start adding onto the school year if they take more. And there we were, at home, having fun. It really all played out with perfect timing. The boys seem to really enjoy having Mom around too. I hope I give relief to Drew, who for so many years handled all things that came up with the kids and the house and random events while he already has a plate full with his profession. Win, win. 



The back of Griffin's progress report that we received after the new year had a sweet note from his Art teacher: 

Such a great kid to have in art class. He is a leader. He is very good about helping his neighbors if they need it. Good initiative, always has work completed, always tries, excellent attitude. 




I finally took time to catch up both boys' scrapbooks of monthly pictures that I take. It was quite a task but I'm proud that I've kept this up monthly since they were born. For January, Griffin wanted Tipper involved.

Cooper watched this creepy YouTube video:



And now he constantly sings the song......I caught a little bit here:




















The boys had great checkups at the dentist and were both cavity free!







Drew has taught Griffin how to drive the gator, and he LOVES it. Somehow, he has gotten big enough to reach the pedals and steer. 









Griffin was invited to a sleepover birthday for an old friend, Owen Brown. 


Lots more fence was built by this hunk....

On the very first "warm" day since all that bad weather we went straight to the park:

We can't wait for more warm weather!!
