Long Overdue

So I know I am LONG OVERDUE for a post!!!  So sorry Aunt Jill!!!  :) Three kids are CRAZY!!  I feel like I can never catch up and when I do get a second I decide to take a much needed nap!!  
So nothing really exciting has been happening since we came back from Disneyland.  Just everyday routine stuff!!  School, physical therapy, work, etc!!  
We did get TWO more snow days this week!!  We are up to I think 7?!?!  I'm kinda getting sick of the snow and cold!!  COME ON SPRING!!  It was really pretty the other morning....it was about 5 degrees outside but the snow covered everything and the flakes were coming down so fast and big.  I wanted to get one picture of the kids in God's beauty.....
....God's beauty huh?!?

Natalee has been doing really good!!  Her physical therapist recommended seeing a CranioSacral Therapist.  It is alternative medicine and I was a little nervous about it to begin with but it is helping her SO MUCH!!  It is similar to chiropractic work (kinda).  Here is a website to read about it.
The therapist said Natalee's hips & pelvis were way out of alignment along with other bones in her body.  She worked on her for about an hour and we have seen DRASTIC changes.  She no longer cries when she flexes her hips, she is moving her legs more, and just seems happier.  Here are some pictures of her physical therapy today...


Last week she SCREAMED when we tried to put her in this position and she couldn't even support herself!!  We have been working on this for about 2 weeks now!!  Immediately after seeing the crainosacrial therapist she willing got in this position!!!

She is also quite the eater!!  She LOVES LOVES LOVES to eat real food.  She basically eats whatever we are eating!!  Here is a picture of trying "string" cheese!!


Loves her bath

Haylee makes sure she is protected!!!  

Haylee is really into puzzles right now!!!  I remember when Garrett was really into puzzles at that same age!!!

This year we decided we were going to take the kids out on a special one-one date each month!!  It would be a special time we get to spend with them alone!!  In January Josh took Garrett and I took Haylee!!  
Josh took Garrett to a monster truck rally!!  Garrett LOVED it!!  He still talks about all the trucks!!!
I recieved this picture from Josh with the text, "Good seats. So Loud."

Later in the month Haylee and I went to see a DisneyLive show!!  It was Princesses & Pirates!!  We had so much fun too!!

Haylee is upfront dancing!!


So that's our life right now!!  Nothing too exciting!!  Hope everyone else is doing good!!!
