February flew! It is hard to believe that we will be welcoming March as we arise and March signifies SPRING! This winter has been extremely tolerable and I am so happy that we have all been able to get outside and frolic in the mild temperatures and dusting of snow. It is also hard to believe that our babies will be turning TWO this month and we are all looking forward to the celebrations we have planned with relatives near and far :)
Charlie continues to enjoy school and sports and I am always amazed at his never ending energy! He finished Little Dribblers basketball in February and is anxiously awaiting Little Hitters baseball to start next month. Basketball is still in the air at the Gauge house and Charlie and Tommy went to their first Timberwolves game, a few Shakopee Sabers games and a UST basketball playoff game. Our little super fan always has a ball in hand and is ready for a game! Charlie was star of the week in class this month, in which Tim and I were invited to attend a celebration at school. We always enjoy getting to know his classmates and it was so cute hearing their perspectives on what makes Charlie so special!
Tommy loves seeing his buddies at school and on play dates. He is a nonstop thinker and I believe this boy is going to be an engineer. He is so curious about the inner workings and construction of things and often asks in-depth questions about high-tech mechanisms and desires detailed explanations in return (for many of which I need to look up answers to on the computer)! This month Tommy had a cute Valentine's party at school, experienced his first basketball games at UST and the Target Center and had his first trip to Lego Land!
Lukie continues to charm us all and spread abundant cheer :) He still LOVES watching the Wiggles- proclaiming his wish by chanting "wee-wee" with a little groovy head move and body roll! He loves music, family dance parties, mowing the deck and icy yard with his toy mower and driving his cozy coupe car in our kitchen. Lukie is so excitable and loves a good party (or just the 7 of us all being together)!
Ellie is our princess with pizazz - pure sweetness with sass! My sweet little helper is usually found rearranging my kitchen drawers, writing on any piece of paper in site or in the corner playing with my Blackberry until she is discovered. She is already a caretaker for the crew and likes things to be picked up, loves helping me fold laundry and enjoys helping dry the plastic dishes. I am truly amazed at how she already has a sense of style and loves pretty shoes, wearing hats, and anything shiny. She can always be found with her little entourage that includes her blue love, pink love and her baby. Ellie is definitely doted on by her brothers and is our little spitfire that keeps us smiling!
Andy Man continues to make us laugh with his witty ways and mysterious, playful demeanor! He has a hearty laugh and enjoys getting silly with his siblings, playing in his cozy coupe, being outside and shooting hoops. Andy is a basketball lover through and through and can already make baskets on the 6 foot hoop! He is talking so much and his favorite phrase is "there it is" with a tone of elation!
I am extremely grateful for Tim's blessing to fly down to visit my parents in Scottsdale this month. My sister-in-law from Denver joined me in Arizona for a long weekend filled with fun, sunshine, relaxation and rejuvenation! I truly enjoyed every second of the vacation, but certainly missed my crew at home :)
