Future Hockey Player...like daddy

18 months old

18 Months Old…Wow, how time sure flies! Gavin surprises us everyday! We are so very blessed to have him in our lives. We never could have imagined so much joy could come from such a little person. He is so fun loving and silly. He loves to giggle and laugh. Climbing and being held up in the air are so much fun for him. He will show you his belly button then try to take a peek at your belly button. He loves books more than I could have ever imagined. Any book and every book, but his favorite is the photo book of his own baby pictures. He loves to point out pictures of Mama and Dada and the dog of course. He knows all of the animals and mimics the sounds that they make. He loves electronics and is known to steal the TV remote, cell phone or ipad and hide while he pushes every button possible. He pretends he is talking to someone and holds the phone up to his ear, or the calculator, or his baby monitor, as long as it resembles a phone. He sits at the computer, types on the keyboard, and touches the mouse, just like the grown ups. He loves to run recklessly and has absolutely no fear of falling. Being outside, running in the grass, and stopping to smell the flowers are some of his favorite things. He is obsessed with the doggies, loves to pet them and chase them and yell at them for barking “Bad Dog”. He is declaring more independence every day. He loves taking baths and will demand bubbles in the water. Recently he insisted on taking the 4 foot tall broom on a walk with us and he swept the sidewalk all the way around the block. He is sweet, adorable, funny and perfect in every way.

Happy Easter!!!

Everything is going great!!! We are all settled in at home now. Our condo is rented and our tenants seem very good. We signed our refinance papers and our loan closed for the condo!! woohoo! We sold Grier's car and bought a more affordable car that is better on gas, and bought it with cash. So no more payments and we are completely debt free!!! Now we just need to SAVE SAVE SAVE, to buy our second house!!! Having no debt will make it easier to qualify for another house payment.
Easter was great! We went to an Easter egg hunt on Saturday at the local church and Gavin had so much fun!!! Easter Sunday we had brunch with family, another Easter egg hunt, played outside with bubbles and it was a beautiful day. Gavin got to spend some time with his Great-Grandparents, which was very nice!
School is going good and we are very hopeful that Grier will be able to get a job with "normal" hours soon!!
