A Warm Day

We've had a handful of warm days around here lately. And, when it's warm enough, we go outside.

Another Year

This week, I was offered and accepted another one-year Assistant Professor position at JMU! Go Dukes!

Date Night

Last Friday, Wes and I got to go out for a date night. Mind you, we haven't been out without the twins since November! Needless to say, this date night was well overdue. Two of my past students came over to watch G & V and Wes and I headed out to the movies to see True Grit. It was really good.

While we were gone, the girls took some pics of the kiddos for us. I don't think they were too upset about us not being there. They look like they had a lot of fun. Thanks girls!

  

21 Months

Today, Vivian and Gavin are 21 months old. Three more months til the terrible twos officially begin. Yeah right. Viv has already comfortably situated herself into that stage of her life.

Poor Pup

The Art Gallery

When we moved into this house, I wondered what the hell I would do with this huge wall in the kitchen. And then Gavin and Vivian started bringing artwork home from school. Voila! An art gallery was created.

They're Dipaholics

Gavin and Vivian are a couple of dipaholics. They are ridiculously obsessed with any and all dips. Ranch, french onion, ketchup, mustard, and honey mustard- you name it, they love it. And, they ask for dip anytime they are eating anything that could be dipped into something (which happens on a daily basis). The way that they do this is by picking up their french fry/piece of chicken/waffle/vegetable and tapping it on their plate or on the table while yelling at one of us.

Even though they both love the hell out of some dip, Vivi has become the Dip Queen, pitching a bit of a fit anytime you try to take dip away from her. She's ridiculous.

Sandwiches with Daddy

Vivian loves to make and eat sandwiches with her daddy; it's "their thing." She definitely loves watching and helping him make the sandwiches, but her favorite parts are eating individual components (like a slice of cheese or tomato) and then taking bites of the finished product.
