what you've missed...

Here's what we've been up to the last little while....

we made snow toast, yum!!

we toilet trained and are all SO glad this is over.  i think i may outsource this one next time.  my little brothers provided a lot of inspiration and motivation over christmas, but they didn't have to do *much* of the dirty work. 

first day of sunbeams (sunbeams is the 3-year old class in primary where all the children go after sacrament meeting.  it's the first class after nursery he's he's in with the big kids now, and so proud of it!) and first day wearing underwear to church!  followed by absolute refusal to look at the camera.

andrew's become my big helper most of the time.  when he wants to be a big helper, he is BIG helper.

"i love you big brother"

this just cracks me up...

we've been so tired of being stuck inside that we resorted to playing with buckets.  that's our raw milk bucket... EVERYTHING in the house is a toy of Andrew's.

we bounced and jumped!  connor LOVES this thing.  but he's so big, it's really difficult to get him in and out without some help.  and unfortunately, andrew can't really help me with that.

we've played in the snow...

some really liked it

others really didn't!

we dressed ourselves!  and in our little brothers' pants no less!

and then we had the "Vasoline Incident of 2011"

Connor's doing SO MUCH better.  the new medicine is miraculous!  he's behind developmentally - he's still not crawling or scooting - but he's catching up quickly.  he's regained everything that he lost and we're back to where we were when he started having the seizures.  he's got his own personal occupational therapist, nurse and developmental milestone worker that each come twice per month.  what a blessing!

these are long days... but overall we're happy and healthy!  we CAN'T WAIT until SPRING!!!  this has been a long winter for us, but i think we're going to make it! :)
