Sorry that I'm a lame-o blogger! I put up that last post as a joke for Craig planning to post a real one afterwards but then I ran out of time. Now a whole week has gone by, I haven't put up a real post and I still don't think Craig has even seen that other post to get a good laugh. So, for all of you who do check our blog I apologize for A) not posting for a month and B) being a dork.

One reason I haven't posted in such a long time is that it seems like not much is going on. I spent most of January cleaning my house, nursing, changing diapers, nursing, playing dress up, nursing, cooking dinner, and the like. I don't mind doing these things, I just don't feel like it would be very interesting to write or read about.

Probably the highlight of January was the weekend we went up to Rexburg to visit my sister Lynne and her family. It is always fun to be with Lynne and Andy and their kids. I feel completely at home with them and the time always goes too fast. While we were in Rexburg we went to the temple open house. The temple is beautiful (of course) and I loved the wheat motif since Rexburg is surrounded in wheat fields. Very appropriate!

We enrolled Savannah in a class called Itty Bitty Sports put on by the city. They practiced basketball, t-ball, and volleyball. Craig was really excited about it. Savannah was 1 of 2 girls in the class with about 12 boys. She participated pretty good but at least for now, sports is not the love of her life. We might try a tumbling or dance class next month and see if it fits her interests more. She did enjoy doing the class with her cousins Ethan and Blake. Savannah has continued attending her Music and Motion class. She always looks forward to going to the classes and I'll hear her singing songs I haven't ever heard before so I am confident she is learning something.

Justin is 2 months old now and I think he is getting pretty cute! He smiles easily and has done a few little giggles. He can melt my heart with a single coo. He has been sleeping in his big crib in his own room for a week now. He is doing good at night, waking up one or two times to eat but then goes right back to sleep. His newest trick... sucking his thumb. I'm not sure what to think about it. Being a thumbsucker as a child, I know it can be a very difficult habbit to break... but I think it is cute so I haven't tried to stop it. I guess I will let nature take it's course.
