Catching Up

Spencer started Primary in January. He is a Sunbeam! And he LOVES it.

It seems so strange to have both my kids in Primary now. They are old.

Abby started seeing a new physical therapist in January. We really like her. She has a completely different approach and we think it will be good for her. Here she is cruising with her new walker.

Pretty awesome, right? Eventually we'll unlock the front wheels so that they can turn - once she gains better control of it.

In February we all went to the open house for the new Gilbert Arizona Temple. The day we went also happened to be our ninth wedding anniversary.

It was a really neat experience for the kids. Spencer still talks about it.

I've straightened Abby's hair a few times in the last couple of weeks . It takes me about 10 minutes to blow dry it straight and she actually tolerates it for the most part. Her hair is getting so long! I love the way the ends curl up.

Spencer is a camera hog. Every time I get the camera out he demands that a picture be taken of him. I am happy to comply.

Abby lost her first two teeth!

I started freaking out when I realized they were missing. We never noticed them being loose! I'm pretty sure I scared her a little when I had my fingers in her mouth and was yelling, "Where are your teeth?" So to make up for my crazy reaction, I made her a special Tooth Fairy pouch out of some pink felt. Spencer was quite jealous - he kept asking for a blue pouch. We wrote a letter to the Tooth Fairy explaining that Abby lost her teeth, but that we didn't know where to find them. We promised that if we did find them, we would be sure to turn them in (we are pretty sure she swallowed them....) The Tooth Fairy took the note and left some chocolate! What a lucky girl.

And lately, if I want to play the piano, this is how it always ends up....
