Gavin started baseball practice this month. For the first time ever playing baseball he will be playing AAA (that's the highest league besides the majors in case you didn't know). His first game is at the end of this month. He has practice Monday nights Wednesday nights & Saturday mornings. When his coaches found out he was a lefty they grabbed him as quick as they could & started to teach him to pitch. Hope Gavin keeps his excitement for baseball. If he sticks with it he could play for college & then for the majors. I'll have my mansion & vette before I know it! :) He seems to be enjoying it so far so we'll see & I'll post pics. with his full uniform on. He is also learning his multiplication, division, & fractions. It blows my mind that kids these days have to know so much stuff. I don't remember having to know all this & more in 3rd grade.
Emma continues to plug along in kindergarten... She's a funny girl. For Valentines Day I wanted to get her teacher an orchid plant. Emma had another gift in mind. She wanted to give her teacher a stuffed giraffe holding a fake rose & a small box of chocolate. Her reasoning was & I quote, "Mom she can't sleep with a plant, but she can sleep with this." Though it looked very cheap I gave in, can't argue with a 5 year old on that. We also have had a few honesty lessons with Emma lately.. Who knew that she was a klepto? She took a shiny sparkly key chain from the post office the other day & when I found out I made her return it & she cried all the way there. The lady told her because she was honest & for coming back to return it she could keep it! NOOOOOOOOOO that's the worse thing that lady could have said to her. But Emma is now a proud owner of a sparkly key chain. Then the other day she took a plastic diamond ring from the treasure box at school. She proudly showed me when I picked her up & I instantly knew something was not right. I had Emma go to Andy's classroom to wait for me as I went to talk to her teacher & sure enough Emma lied to me & she stole it from the treasure box. I made Emma return it to the teacher that day & her teacher was firm with her & explained that stealing was bad & that it makes a person distrust that person. Emma felt very bad & I think she learned her lesson.
Landon is HUGE & so cute & love able. He'll grab my face & squeeze it hard & then slobber all over it. He's not crawling yet but he tries & when he gets mad, oh boy watch out cause he'll let you know! Oh & he loves to eat. He will protest very LOUD if you eat in front of him & not share.
So, those are the happs around here & the reason of not updating my blog sooner. I am a very BUSY woman.

Congrats to Gavin on his baseball. So exciting! I didn't know he was left handed. And sweet Emma, I just love the stories of her klepto-tendencies. So funny! I guess kids have to learn their lessons somehow. She'll get there :). Glad to hear you guys are doing well!
Caroline doesn't crawl either and she does the same stuff like grab and pull my face and whine for my food.
abigail stole a dogchain from the dollar tree once...i made her take it back. some lady at a post office has NO idea how to teach a child about NOT stealing. what in the world?
Loved your post and wow your a good writer! Oh and what was that lady at the post office think?! Shame on her! She's probably a reformed kid klepto herself! Oh way to go Gavin, didn't know he was a lefty- way cool.
