"Dar"

Ah, what a week. Not too unusual, but exhausting nonetheless. Thanks to everyone for your comments! It was so fun to hear from all of you. I hope I can figure out how to do everything. So, I got tagged, but I don't know what that means. I'll get back to you on that.

This week Kaeleb informed us that milk comes from cow boo-boos, because mommies make milk when they have babies and cows have babies. He made the connection all on his own with no prior discussion. He told grandpa that his toy helicopter works because of the "equipment" inside it. He has also been jumping in Brennan's crib at naptime saying "Look Mom! He likes me! I'm making him feel better!"

Brennan has been rolling over, doing reverse crunches (lifting his legs straight up while laying on his back), and practicing words. Last night he said "Dar". We know it means something. I took him in for his 4 month check up on Thursday. The doctor said, "So, tell me what you are feeding this TANK."

Kwint worked really hard all week. He still doesn't have a doorknob on his office door. We went to Layton over the weekend for a LARP event. Kwint rather enjoyed himself at the cabin. All I know is that a sword exploded and when firecasters grabbed the hilt they sensed where they could find the shards which awarded them treasures. They are so creative and it is fun to hear their stories.

Gina has little to tell about the week. Laundry, dishes, diapers.... During voice lessons I realized that Kaeleb has memorized Jaiden's song. He sang every word rather loudly. She was laughing so hard she had to stop singing. My favorite memory of the week is while I was feeding Brennan he reached up and pulled my cheek over to rest on his head. I thought it was involuntary at first, but when I lifted my head he brought it back. Oh, so sweet. I also loved being with DeAnne and her boys on Friday night, and Kwint's parents all weekend.

Love to my family... we are missing our Dad, and thankful for all our memories, glad Mom is such a faithful lady, happy for Alan to be so happy, happy for Angie (the reason Alan is so happy), glad Melissa is recovering, glad Landon is 2 (love the trucks), amazed that Cera is 4 pounds lighter than Bren (one month older), sad we missed out on Guitar Hero with the Robinsons this weekend (Rock On!), had so much fun with Kris and Barbi's fam (glowsticks always make a party), and thankful for the time spent with our Ma and Pa up North. Thanks for the pie!!

A Work in Progress...

Hello World,
Here's a breief beginning to our blogging. We begin 2008 with enthusiasm and many goals.

Kwint is working on building his private practice as a therapist here in St. George. He is building programs, giving lectures and teaching martial arts in addition to private therapy sessions, family therapy, and running groups.

Gina is a stay home mom and teaches yoga and voice lessons on the side. She recently participated in Yoga Day here in town where she took the hardest class of her life and vowed never to put her students through the rigors she endured.

Kaeleb (3 1/2 years old) does much in the way of pretending these days. He is often a pirate or "Spiderman to the rescue" but usually simply "a good guy" who "gets bad guys" with any variety of weapons. He recognizes all the letters and is working on sounds. He loves to sing the ABC's loudly in public over and over.

Brennan (4 months now) is nearly rolling over, sitting with support, and vocalizing wildly. We think he'll make a fine singer. He smiles and laughs constantly, and especially loves his Daddy.

We'll be updating weekly now that we are up to date!!
