Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring!

I don't know about anyone else but we are ready for Spring or better yet Summer! 

Updates on the family:

ZANDER:

• He is all ready for 4K in the fall.  We are lucky that Kid Safari (our daycare center) offers the program, so he will walk down to 4K classrooms for school and then go back to his normal classroom for the rest of the day.  He is so excited. 
• He still loves racing cars, wrestling Tony, playing basketball/football,  watching movies and playing on his "computer" - he bought him a child's tablet for Christmas it has all sorts of games and learning apps.
• Zander is an amazing big brother, so caring and loving to his brother.  His bedroom was in the basement however this fall he realized that he was the only one downstairs so we bought a bunk bed for Maddox's room.  So Maddox is in his crib and Zander is on the top bunk.  It is surprisingly working out great - both sleeping through the night. 

MADDOX:

• He began crawling on his first birthday - January 9th.  Yay!!  He loves getting around and following his big brother around.  We are looking forward to him walking so he can keep up with his brother.
• He took his bottle away just after he turned 1 and it was so exciting to throw bottles away and no we are done washing those things!!  
• His tricks: blowing kisses, waving, giving open mouth kisses, and sign language - more and all done.  

KACEY & TONY:

• We went on our annual winter getaway - 10 years in a row, not bad!!  This year we went to Cancun with: Amy/Erik, Cindy/Chris, Daryl/Jess, Katie/Troy, Tanya/Bob, and we met a couple from Idaho at our resort - Rachelle and Matt.  We continue to keep in touch and hoping to meet up this summer.  We had an absolute blast.  The resort was small, the food was amazing and the drinks were fantastic!
• Tony is busy Building America!  He has a crew of 5 and they are building a new house every week.  A few weeks ago they were building a house across the street from another framing crew who was building a pre-fab house, which means all the walls are already put together.  Tony's crew beat the pre-fab home, so he was pretty excited.  
• My "new" job in HR, not so new anymore is going really well.  I am learning a lot and enjoying the change.
