The past month has been great. Gavin got sick after a record six weeks of perfect health. Praise the Lord!! Maybe all the freezing temperature killed the germs. Or, maybe his immune system is thriving and this is the new trend. Regardless, his doctor was great; we got the perscriptions we needed and he's over it. He's back to his funny self, saying things like "Don't tell me what to do." Yes, I know, incredibly disrespectful, but he says it so oddly, that I wonder if he knows what he's saying. But, just in case, (after I got done laughing) I firmly let him know that "we are not rude people" and that he could not say that to adults. I'm so happy that he's making complete, multiple-word sentences, that I'll tolerate it, at least until I know he's purposefully being bad.
As snow has come in plenty, we've shoveled and played a lot. We bought a snow sled and had fun as a family, climbing to the top of the hill at South Park and sledding down. Then last weekend we went to Connecticut to visit Mike's cousins, where we enjoyed a little snowmobiling. Gavin also discovered that he loves Rotwilers. Oh, and I must not forget, we live in the superbowl champ City...Go Steelers! Despite the cold-weather entertainment, I miss home badly. I'm feeling the permanent loss, now that the shock of the move has worn off, realizing that I really do have to acknowledge this as our real life, not just some extended adventure trip.
Gavin and I are enjoying some "alone time" as Mike will be in D.C. for training all month. We have a busy schedule planned. This is Valentine's week. We're making his Valentines, and also decorating the box that will hold his received valentines. Tomorrow night, we have his first birthday party to attend! Next week, Grandpa is coming from Alabama for a visit. We are very excited. And soon, Mike will be back and surely by then, some permanent warmer weather!
Enjoy the pictures. I'm posting more on Facebook.
