YIKES! Its been quite a long time since our last posting, but we have a good excuse. Our laptop went out a few weeks ago, needing a hard drive replacement. But now, we've got it all fixed up and we are back in business. So, that leaves us with what have we been up to for the last month, LOTS!
Back in January, Robin competed in the Big-D stair climb, which consists of 52 flights of stairs up one of the tallest office buildings in downtown Dallas, 1040 stairs in all. Over six hundred people competed in the event and Robin finished in the top ten percent! This is quite a feat considering he did NOT train one day for this. He looked quite sick at the finish and exclaimed it was the dumbest thing he had ever done....that was until he saw his time online when we got home, and now he can't wait for the next one.
Landon has experienced a couple of milestones this past month. He celebrated his first valentines day, complete with the exchange of valentines between all the kids in his class at day care. However, this was celebrated a day late, because the Friday before valentines day, the Dallas area metroplex received a record breaking snowfall for the most snow in a single calendar day in history, a whopping 12.5 inches! Needless to say, most schools in the area were canceled for the day.
Most recently, Grandma and Grandpa T came to visit and stay with Landon while Robin and I went to wedding in Las Vegas. Robin's old roommate/co-worker, Mike, got married up on a mountain outside of Vegas in a very picturesque setting, to his beautiful bride Leigh. We went skiing the day before the wedding up on Vegas' only ski resort. It had been nearly a decade since either of us had been skiing, so there was a bit of a learning curve at the beginning, but we had a great time. We were both shocked how fast it wiped us out of energy though! The real story about the trip away is just that, it was our first trip AWAY from Landon. Although we missed seeing his bright smiling face every day, we knew he was in good hands with G-ma and G-pa.
And the BIG updates for Landon physically are he FINALLY has some teeth, three to be exact! The two top front teeth are visible and starting to come down and he has one bottom front tooth visible. He is also getting more comfortable up on his feet. He stands most of the time, and walks everywhere he can, as long as there is something to hold on to. He will only take one or two steps without having a finger to hold or ottoman/couch to grab, but he is getting there. He still won't take his sippy-cup, which means he won't drink juice, but we keep trying.
