Catch Up Post

I'm happy to write that we made it to the other side of life after the dissertation.  Mostly and barely.  Does it sound like the dissertation is all-consuming and around which all our lives are based these days?  Yes, yes it is.

Anyways, on to a catch up post:

We enjoyed a few ski days in January.

 The boys are starting to get comfortable on their skis and are building up endurance.

 Morgan celebrated the 100th Day of School.  He brought 100 gems to trade with his classmates.

 The boys are boisterous, active, and healthy...all of which we are thankful for.

I celebrated a birthday...

 Which of course kicked off our birthday season...ninjas will be invading next week.

 The boys made a sweet get well sign for Aunt McKenzie, who had surgery earlier this month to repair a torn ACL.

 I took an impromtu trip to Montana to hang out with her post-surgery.

 The boys enjoyed Valentine's parties this week.  It's probably the first year Justin and I haven't attended one...the boys are doing really well managing their food allergies in school.

 And speaking of food allergies, there was much celebration when Cheerios appeared again in our house.  The ingredients have been reformulated quite a bit, so there's not nearly as much wheat.  And it appears all types of Cheerios will be gluten free by the fall.  The boys can't get enough of them!

 

We've been enjoying really warm weather (until today, and now we're under a winter storm watch) and spending lots of time outside.  The boys spent an afternoon shooting their nerf arrows in the field.
