Brian just had his 18th month checkup and all is well. He's growing like a weed and healthy as he could be, and he's really starting to come into his own. Brian is hilarious. He's got quite the personality. He loves to dance, especially when Yo Gabba Gabba is on, and then clap for himself. But he's also a little troublemaker, so much so that we call him our little Viking. Another interesting thing about Brian, we think he's a lefty.

While we were visiting our families during this past Thanksgiving Weslie and Gabbie were introduced to the magical world of kittens. Ever since then that's all they've talked about. So a week or so before Christmas we went to our local humane society and picked out a kitten. It was awful. Let's just say there were some raised tempers, some harsh words, and some feelings got hurt, but we got the kitten we came for and were lucky enough not to have been dragged into that whole mess. The girls name her Princess Penelope and she's been by their sides ever since.

Whether you're a fan of Twenty-Ten or Two Thousand-Ten today marks not only the beginning of a new year but also a new decade, and ours started with some snow. We spent most of the day outside. Even though we only got a few inches, which is basically nothing compared to our last, it was perfect for snowballs and sledding, and despite Weslie and Gabbie doing their best Ethan Frome recreation everyone had a really good time. Brian even seemed to like it a little better this go around.
