together. Maybe we do still kinda like each other?? :)

*funny G man:
*Feb 15th: Mya got her first tooth (8 1/2 months)

*Mya is standing along things and going from one thing to another if they are very close to each
other. She is also waving buhbye:)
March:
*Gavin turned 4... wow how time flies! He got a DS from Mya and has played it ever since. He
LOVES getting new games and often will save his money for a new one.

and throat swabs, wee bags, etc and nothing but an unknown viral infection

while we were camping, so bottle all GONE!! However, the nuk will be another story!

so Auntie came up to celebrate with him!

INCREDIBLE!!! awesome to catch Mya's 'snaggle tooth' as she had the two main bottom teeth
and one side tooth on the top:)

*Conversation with Gavin:

*The dishwasher, water softener and Matt's car all died the same week. Had to buy all 3 BRAND
NEW... Love the Chevy Cruze. Would highly recommend!

of fun in it this summer!
August:
*We celebrated our golden anniversary! Wanted to do something special, however needing a new
car, dishwasher and water softener put that on hold:(
*
*Danielle went to routine dentist appointment. Found 12 cavities and one tooth needing a crown.
Xrays were due so had not been done in 3 years. Wowzas!! Talk about expensive!!
September:
*Started school again... Excited to get back but SOOOO sad to not be with my babes every day all
day.
*Matt's brother Ben and April got married. Gavin was an extremely handsome ring bearer!
*Danielle went to doctor with neurological concerns and fatigue. Blood tests showed elevated liver
enzymes. Continued testing through end of year.
October:
*Matt and I took a long weekend away together to Florida... first major trip sans kiddos. Quite the
experience! Refused to stay in our dump of a hotel so cancelled reservation and drove Ocean Dr
until we found one we like. Those that know me know that I don't do well without a very | detailed itinerary, but it was adventurous. Matt got sick a few of the days adn it rained everyday.
However we enjoyed the quietness and time together.]
*Conference at Preschool for Gavin. He is right on target (even a bit advanced) academically and
socially. Knows all of his letters and is beginning letter sounds. Reconizes numbers up to 10 and
some even higher. Can count to 30 consistently. Is the nicest kindest kid at school and very
polite! Should be no reason to not send to Kindergarten next year,
*Gavin: Daddy, what is your dad called to me
Matt: grandpa
G: and what about his dad
M: your great grandpa (this went on like 3 more times)
G: and his dad (would be like great great great great grandpa)
M: really old
G: like my grandpa george :) He didnt' think it was quite as funny as we did:)
November:
*
*Matt began having symptoms of back problems. Lots of Chiro appoinments and finally an MRI
which determined meeting with a specialist to determine if and what surgery was necessary.
*
December:
*Report from preschool-the kids were asked to clean up an area and Gavin was the first one over
there and began recruiting help by saying "come on friends. we have to clean up. we don't want
to let Angel down" :)
*Matt got busted letting Gavin watch him and Uncle Jamie play Resistance... went to daycare and
told Sara he was watching his dad play a game with naked zombies. CRAP!!!! New Rule
spelled out for Daddy:)... If you have to be 18 to purchase the game, by 4 year old should not
be watching it!
*Matt had back surgery
*Danielle referred to a gastroenterologist specialist. Determined more labs were needed to rule
our or diagnosis reason for elevated liver enzymes. Next appointment to discuss lab results 1/25.
