Starting Fresh…

this is our chalkboard in the kitchen—I wanted to highlight Mark’s awesome chalk artwork :)

Wow—I am a really pathetic blogger. Okay—the whole purpose of this blog is to chronicle the life of our family because Lord knows I am no scrapbooker or diary-keeper. I don’t even know where to begin since I last blogged in November. I’ll start with this guy…Lukie B :

• still obsessed with all things Star Wars and got Star Wars books, Legos  and action figures for Christmas
• he also got a scooter and is learning how to ride it
• still a very picky eater

Ethan:

• says so many words now. I really wanted to do a developmental update on him but this will have to do.  He repeats what we say and is a really good talker for 20 months (in my opinion). He says new words every day. He calls Luke—“Gook”
• LOVES the Wiggles. He was obsessed with Yo Gabba Gabba for a long time but right after Christmas we showed him the Wiggles and it has been all Wiggles all the time.
• Got his own iPod touch for Christmas, which I think is hilarious and awesome. We like to start our kids on Apple products very early. He also got this awesome case for his iPod, which is genius.
• loves dogs so much, especially David’s dog  Molly.  Molly was his main source of entertainment while we stayed at Ammy and PawPaw’s house.
• got strep throat a week before Christmas and was pretty miserable. Thank God for antibiotics and urgent care clinics.

That is all I can think of for now.  But it is a start! I think I might write a post about our rat problem next.  Good times.
