Sick Days

Sunday night through Monday, February 11 Clara was sick and I stayed home with her. Just five days later, Spencer got sick. He was sick until Tuesday evening. We missed cousin camp that weekend with all the Hoyt cousins, but Spencer was down.  He slept almost all of Saturday and over half of Sunday.  As soon as Spencer got better, Clara got sick again on Friday. But she is back healthy and sledding in all our snow today.

Snow Day

Clara and I had a snow day on Wednesday, January 30. Clara learned how to blow a bubble, and Spencer learned how to walk-just two days shy of being 14 months old!

Valentines Day

 

Clara made a laptop for her Valentine box.

 



Hayden

We waited and waited for Hayden to wake up from his nap so we could play with him for a minute.

Mizzou Gymnastics

Eric and I took Clara to see the Mizzou gymnasts vs LSU.  She loved gymnastics so much during the Olympics we thought she would like to see it live.  I think she liked the idea, but she was interested in people watching, keeping track of Truman the Tiger, and getting snacks.  She still had fun.

Throwback Pajamas

Clara and Spencer are wearing my old pajamas. Thanks mom for saving EVERYTHING!

Meeting Reid

Clara sent a hat with me that she made for Reid.

 Mom and I went to D.C. to over MLK weekend so I could meet Reid!

Vince and I went on an 11 mile run around D.C. Monday afternoon after inauguration. 

Brett's First Deer

 After many cold mornings and evenings of hunting Brett got his first deer!

Christmas

Presents from Santa

Christmas Eve

  Spencer's Santa diaper Gramma got for him.

We were able to visit Hayden and Owen Christmas Eve morning.

 Then we let Clara and Spencer open their gifts from uncle Vince and aunt Lisa.

Spencer played the piano for us at Gramma and Papa's Christmas Eve evening.

Spencer's First Birthday

 Spencer wasn't interested in gifts, but he loved his carrot cake cupcake!

 

Christmas Card

We were able to take some photos during a family Thanksgiving to use for our Christmas card. Thanks Laura!

Deer Season

Eric got the first deer of the season on Oct. 28. Clara helped him track it.  She wasn't fond of the dark and only wants to track deer in the daytime from now on.

11 Months Old and a New Cousin!

 Spencer was 11 months old on November 1. His first cousin was also born, John Reid Jesaitis.  He was a little guy at 3 lbs 14 oz, but he is doing great. We can't wait to meet him at Christmas!

Halloween

Clara wanted to be a ballerina and she wanted Spencer to be a bat, it was an easy Halloween. Spencer wouldn't take a nap that evening, so he was asleep for the first half of trick-or-treating and Clara fell asleep before we made it to all of our stops.

St. Louis

 We had lunch at the park. . .

 We visited the St. Louis Zoo with good friends. . .

 We played with Owen. . .

And I ran a half marathon on Sunday, October 21.  I ran it in 1:53. I had fun and the weather was perfect.
