January is almost over...

Snow shovelling
Any questions on who the athlete is?
Naked Play time

Boys being boys...


Hello again.


Just a quick update. We got weighed the other day and I am officially out of my car seat... 40 pounds and 40 inches! Micah is 28 pounds and 35 inches... Dad cut off all Micah's hair but mom said to tell everyone that they are still married...We started church school again on Wednesdays, swimming on Sundays, preschool for me on Tuesday/Thursday and mom and Micah go to the YMCA while I am in class. Gymnastics in on Mondays and constant assorted play dates. Needless to say there is not much time to play with our Christmas toys and the other day I had to tell mom that I missed my garbage truck. Micah blew up the big TV (on, off, on, off, on, off) the other day so that is a bit of a switch for all of us not having any TV, but we have adjusted suprisingly well. Dad's grad is coming up in March and mom would like to encourage anyone that can to congratulate him that weekend. It is such a huge accomplishment and us boys have made a big sacrifice too- it isn't easy only seeing daddy a little bit and then having to put up with his cooking when mom works. We are all really proud of him though and others in his class have not been so successful.
That is all for now but stay tuned for new pictures of a bald Micah...

Happy New Year!

I know you missed my big cheesy smile...Of all the beds in Auntie CC's new house we liked the dogs' beds best...
Happy to be eating
The handsome Brown guys...
More handsome Brown guys...

Hello and Happy New Year. Hope you all had a great Christmas and safe holidays. We survived dad's shiftwork and while Christmas felt a little quiet we were happy to spend what we could of it together. We got some very exciting new toys and our favorite thing was the bubble wrap that some of them came in...
After Christmas we went to visit Auntie CC's new house up in Canmore and that was an adventure. Micah is not a great traveller in the car, and he made it a little interesting for all of us. The adventure was a little exhausting since both me and Micah were super-sick, out of our normal routine and in a strange place at bedtime. Mom and dad were wiped- but we survived. I don't think we will be going on any road trips again soon.
Both mom and dad worked on New Years, mom all night and dad all day. School has started back this week and we are getting back into the swing of things. Micah was pretty upset when I went back to school. He got used to having me around all the time and he actually cried and called for me all the way home the first day.
Pray for us in the year ahead as we try to remember all of our loved ones in our prayers.
