Christmas (1 of 3)

I am no longer apologizing for always being late and hardly ever posting. The few of you who actually read this blog, I'm sure, have come to the conclusion that I am always about three weeks behind with everything. Anyway, Christmas this year (or last year I guess) was awesome. Tate and I were really looking forward to it this year because we actually have a kid old enough to enjoy some of the festivities. On Christmas morning we opened presents at our house and then went to Grandma and Grandpa Leavitt's to open presents and eat delicious food. Here are some pics of wonderful holiday.










Do you think this little guy enjoyed Christmas? I think his face in this pic says it all!

Sawyer turns 1!!!

Last Tuesday Sawyer turned one. It was one of those bitter-sweet moments that life often brings. As cliche as it sounds, he is growing up way too fast. We had planned to have a party last Saturday but it got put on hold because Tate's wonderful grandma passed away. I promise to post some pictures as soon as we can reschedule the party. Here are some other pics and his one year stats for your pleasure!
Height: 31" (70th percentile)
Weight: 20 lbs. (10th percentile)
Says about fifty words
Walks like a pro
Refuses to eat baby food but still wants the bottle
Sleeps 9-11 hours a night
Loves playing outside
Is a total daddy's boy

Almost a year!

So I realize that I have not been very good at updating the blog and now that we are back in school it will probably get worse. However, I figured that I would give everyone a quick update on everything. We started teaching again about a month ago. I have really been enjoying this year as my classes are a lot smaller than they have been in the past. This year I am teaching Algebra and Spanish. I finished my masters this summer and have been enjoying not going to school although I am sure that eventually I will go back to work on a doctorate. Tate will finish his masters in bilingual education this fall and he is also working on his ed. spec. degree in administration. He is very busy but enjoys every minute of it. Sawyer is almost a year and we cannot believe how fast he is growing up. He has been walking for several weeks now which is both scary and exciting for Tate and me. Here are his 11 month stats and some pictures for your enjoyment.
