ski trip 2013  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

This past weekend we enjoyed a ski vacation with my side of the family. We have been anticipating this trip for months and it did not disappoint! Before we left it felt strange to be going skiing because of the time change and the warmer weather in Salem. But it was definitely still winter on the mountain, and it even snowed while we were there...beautiful! The skiing on Friday was perfect...not windy or too cold, the snow was great. The cabin we stayed in (it's our 2nd year in this particular one) was a perfect fit for all of us. We loved having Tasha with us.
 The love birds...wedding is a a little more than a month away!
 We played the Wii Just Dance game a lot together...thanks for the idea, Kristin :) I love it.

 While there, we gave V and K a gift so that they could have something new to entertain them...it was the Doc Mcstuffins doctor bag...perfect for them. They played "doctor and nurse" the rest of the time. Everyone was so gracious to let them give check-ups. Dad went first.



 There aren't many pictures of Hank because he was pretty cranky with an ear infection and bronchiolitis the whole weekend: not interested in having his picture taken :)

 Everyone teamed up and took turns preparing meals this year. It worked out well so that mom wouldn't have to be in the kitchen all weekend.

 Here's our little snow bunny! She loved skiing, and so did Kate! They both went out for a couple of hours on Friday to try it, and then on Sunday my Dad took Vivian by herself and Kate chose to stay in. But we were pleased with their interest in it. They both let go of hands a few times to try on their own. We are excited for how they will progress in the coming years and hopefully be able to ski with us each year!


I know everyone took more pictures and videos on their phones. I will try to get them together and post them soon.

7 months  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

 I am a week and a half late with this post, but I did take these pictures around the time that the little man hit 7 months old.
 Thanks to a sweet friend, Dawn, for the NC Sate onesie! It's our favorite.
 Big news for this month is lots of rolling around. He is enjoying his crib a lot these days because he can roll all over it.

 His hair is still light, and his eyes are still blue!
His bottom teeth have come in well, and I think the top two are not far behind.
 Check out those rolls. I purposefully left his pants off so we could show off those fat legs :) He's the first of our babies to have the baby rolls and I love it.
He's about 19 lbs. now.


He has been sick with ear infections...he's being treated now for his 4th one. I think a visit to the ENT is in our near future. :(
Hank is not eating at night anymore, but is waking a little too early in the morning (6:15 or so), so we're still working on it! 
He gives big grins to everyone, especially his sisters. His laugh is precious.
The high chair is not his favorite place to be. I haven't quite figured out why, but I do think that when he starts with more finger food, he'll be happier to sit and eat. 
We love love love you, baby Hank!

growing girl  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

Vivian is registered for Kindergarten and starts in August!
It is a privilege to watch her grow and learn new things (well, we feel that way about all of them!). 
I took her picture the other day while writing a birthday note to Aunt Brooke. 
She likes to use a different color marker for each letter, so it takes a while for her to finish, but she's getting better and better at writing her letters.

 It was a great day for a mud pie bakery and somersaults.








We are anxious for warm weather and lots of park days.

rolling  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

Hank rolled over for the first time yesterday (from back to front). I actually worked with him on it for a few minutes because I thought he should be old enough for this skill, so I just showed him how to cross one leg over to give himself a pushing start, and he did it on his own shortly after. As of now, he can only do it in one direction (you can see this in the second video).

The short quick video from today:


The longer video for grandparents from yesterday, starring big sister coach Kate in her zebra leotard:

Here are some more pictures I took today that I can't resist sharing...


I love it when they all play in the same room...I like to arrange this several times during a day so that Hank can see his big sisters in action.

dinner guests  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

We love our neighbors, the Duncans. We've all been kind of hibernating this winter and haven't seen them much, so we were glad to be able to have them over tonight to catch up and enjoy a meal together. It was fun to see their reaction on how much the kids have grown, especially baby Hank!
