Since the kids were home from school Monday because of snow, I decided that I needed some new pictures to put around the house of the kids. So it was fun for me to play around and take a bunch of snapshots. These were the best ones I came up with. The lighting wasn't the best on a couple of them, but I liked the picture anyway.
Not much going on around here. The boys are in basketball and Jordan has a couple of tournaments coming up and Zach plays at the halftime of the boys bb game next Friday. Those are always fun to watch. Curt has been busy with work and he has been back in this mode of working out a few times a week. A good time for him to get away from work and all. I have been busy with the kids and all other motherly and house duties. I also have been scrapbooking a lot lately. But my favorite thing to do is play coed volleyball every Sunday night at Lytton. We have been doing this since November and I hope it doesn't stop anytime soon. As for the little two, Riley is doing good and loves preschool, she was very peeved at not being able to go on Tuesday due to a two hour late start. So, today she was a very happy camper to be able to go.
Gavin is doing well. And for those who don't know, Gavin is now being seen by a Speech Pathologist and a person from our local Area Education Agency. When we went to Gavin's two year check up I mentioned to the doctor that Gavin isn't talking as well as the rest of our kids did at this age. And he said let's nip this in the bud now and have him be seen by our AEA. So, we are now doing that and they are going to help us get his speech caught up to where he should be. We had to go and have his hearing tested and that didn't turn out the best. He has temporary hearing loss in his right ear from fluid. And so we had to go back to the doctor and he gave him some steroids to shrink any kind of swelling that may be causing his fluid blockage. If that doesn't work within a month, he will have to get tubes. This could be the cause for his speech problems because they said it sounds like hearing under water for Gavin. Let's hope this is the problem and Gavin will be on track in no time.
OK. I am finally back to posting some layouts again. I was busy there with getting everything done with the shower that I kind of put scrapbooking aside for a while. But here is one of the few I finished of Gavin's pages. As you can tell this is his first time getting a haircut and in summary the journaling says that I was very reluctant to cut your hair because you are so active, but you did great and it turned out really well. Handsome!! 
Yesterday was Missy and Noah's baby shower (but of course Noah was not in attendance because of the flu season). It turned out really well and we all had a lot of fun. I made this collage for Jeff, Missy and Noah and I displayed it at the shower. It is a terrible picture because I didn't use a lot of natural light coming in from the windows. I ended up framing it in a white frame for them to hang up if they want to. I also made them a shadow box but I never captured a picture of that. At the shower we played a few games (baby name scramble, baby animal names, and baby price is right). It was fun to watch everyone try to figure out the answers. Then we had cake and snacks and finally Missy opened all her presents. She really made out and Noah will be set for a while. Thanks everyone who came and made it a special day for Missy, and we missed those who couldn't be there.
