Tune your Guitar strings and Watch out!

Geoffrey with his Guitar Hero - Zachy! He is so cute! He uses this racket and strums the strings and everything! We have bought him a guitar for his birthday, but I kind of hate to give it to him. I bet he will still pull this out at times and play!

Here's Gwen's new two little teeth!

Geoffrey took Nathan's brush, wet his hair down, and styled it the other day. Then, he ran in and said, "Look Dad!"

Go Gators! Whohoo!

My handsome boy!

Beautiful girl!
Well, lately we have just been trying to live life and enjoy it, even when
it is stressful and the winter is just going on and on and on. Honestly, I don't think that this winter is bad, but for some reason I have been extremely eager for summer to come this year. I just can't wait to get out in the sunshine!
The children are growing too fast as usual!! Gwen just recently recieved her first two teeth and I belive four more will follow soon. She is crawling quite conventionally as of yesterday. We have been calling her an inchworm for the last two or so weeks because she would move her knees and feet up then lay on her tummy, reach, and get up again. She soon got her arms working with her knees, but she still kept laying down to get a few more inches out of her efforts. It was quite effective really. She was going everywhere! Like I said though, she is now crawing like crazy all over and has even mastered the sitting position out of the crawl and has moved right in to pulling up on her walker! If I am not careful she'll be walking before St. Pattie's Day! Lol. Hopefully not . . .
Geoffrey is doing great too! Although, I believe he is getting bored of winter. We both love to be outside and out and about. Since we just have one car, nice weather really helps. I am going to have to take an extra effort to do some new crafts and games with him in these last few weeks of winter. He loves to learn and so it is hard to keep him occupied when he constantly likes to do new things, or help me with things that he is not totally ready to do. I do appreciate his efforts though!
Nathan is trying to keep up with work and school. It is challenging at times but he is doing great! He is a great husband and makes sure to spend time with the children and I.
This year we are focusing on our food storage. We hope to be able to get a decent one built up. If anyone has any helpful tips or hints please let us know!
