Making the most of January

So far January has been great. Generally it is my least favorite month because the holidays are over and it is so darn cold. Jeff and I finally convinced ourselves to invest in a family toy and purchase an end of the season Kawasaki Teryx. It was hard to spend our savings but we have wanted to do more playing as a family. Jeff's older brother Jason who plays more than anyone I know...told us it was time. We are really excited about our purchase but now have to wait for warmer days to take it out.

Because the last couple of days have been so warm Gavin and I have been able to go outside. Today we went sledding with a friend. Gavin didn't like it at all. I don't know if it was the speed or his mother's crazy stirring but he wouldn't go on it after a couple of times.

We tried our hand at making finger paint and painting. Gavin loved it for 5 minutes and then was done. Overnight he is talking so much more and getting so smart. A month ago he was hardly talking, now he says many words and knows the sounds to many animals and still says Ho Ho Ho through out the day.

Jeff has been very busy at the shop (we are deeply grateful) and busy finishing our basement.

Lots and lots of fun!
