February is gone already?

I can't believe that it is the end of February! The weather has been pretty nice lately with the exception of some snow but I really enjoyed it this time because it did not stay. Very beautiful days.

There is really nothing much to report-life keeps humming along at a very fast pace. Drew's role at the Dealership has changed, and he is very busy in both departments. We can only hope that business will pick up soon. He is happy about the changes, but again would be more happy if they were selling more cars! The boys' swimming lessons are over for now, and I feel really good about them swimming in Maui this year. Both Lachlan and Cohen passed their courses and will move up to the next step in April when we start again. Cohen is actually swimming/floating on his own now and Lachlan can swim the length of the pool with no problem. They both love their lessons. Lachlan decided to stop choir for now and just do swimming and playing outside here at home. I am happy the boys don't like to be too busy. We went skiing last Saturday. Lachlan is doing great and Cohen is still learning. It was a beautiful day.

Mack has a couple of his first year molars now. I had no idea he was getting them so they didn't bother him much. He is starting to run a little and is getting very confident walking. He is saying "duck", "doggy" and many more words. I am also very happy he is drinking whole milk now and we've cut back on nursing quite a bit-only morning, nap and bedtime. He has also cut out his a.m. nap. He is so happy too-rarely cries. When I take him to school to get Lachlan everyone comments on how happy he is...always smiling and anyone can hold him. He has started hating it when I leave the room...normal 1-year-old. He also sleeps from 7 pm until 8 am usually...couldn't ask for better and I feel VERY rested!

We leave for Maui in less than 3 weeks. I am very excited to go. I am making lists for groceries and generally just gearing up for it. Our flight is direct to the island which makes it a lot easier. I hope Mack does well on the plane. The boys will be entertained with books, dvds and Lachlan will be doing some homework. We will be gone for 2 weeks again. I am looking forward to just relaxing (as much as you can with 3 kids) and spending every day with Drew.

Well, I'll post a few recent pictures. Hope everyone is doing well!

Mack's photo shoot

Please check these pictures out from Mack's 1 year photo shoot-Just copy and paste it. Let me know which ones you like the best! I will post some when I get around to it too! It is such a hard decision of what I should choose for wallets and photos for the wall so I would love your opinion.

Mack is walking...finally!

Our little Mack has been trying to walk for 2 months. Finally, he is walking more than crawling! He's into everything and is very proud of himself. Besides that exciting news life has continued to be very busy. The boys are taking swim lessons twice a week, Lachlan's choir, Cohen's piano...too busy. But, I am managing. Our house is torn apart which is driving me a little nuts. All the windows are in and trimmed on the outside. All the trim for the inside is painted, but we just need to put it all up...never enough time. I will post more pictures soon. Here are a few from Cohen's swim class and two of his little friends Sarah and Ava. I will eventually get some posted of Lachlan too.
Sarah, Cohen & Ava-you can't see it but he had his arms around both the girls-it was so cute!
