Here we are another year almost wrapped up!!! We have had a lot of new thing happen this year.
*Gavin is 6 1/2 now and is in 1st grade and LOVES school (even thought he might tell you different). He is becoming a very good reader and speller and continues to excel in math :) Baseball still consumes all of his time in the nicer months and he continues to really hone his skills in that as well, funny how they can do that at such a young age!!! He has lost 8 teeth, 4 on top and 4 on bottom so he can REALLY say that all he wanted for Christmas was at least 2 front teeth :) And his 2 top ones came in over our vacation to FL in Oct. and took up all 4 spots on the top :/ YIKES!!! I have no idea where anymore teeth are going to go!!! And now he has one of his middle ones on the bottom that is poking through, so we will have to see how this pans out for him!!! I am sure that braces are in his future some time :) He still enjoys watching wrestling on TV and Nate bought him tickets for a WWE when they come to Rochester in Feb. so I am sure that Gavin will be flying high when he finds that out!!!
* Reed is 3 1/2 now and is by far the comic relief of the family :) He comes up with the darndest things all the time!!! He is always fixing things also, whether it be a broken bone or a car that needs some fixing. His imagination is a marvel!!! He has mastered going on the "Big" potty so that is a GREAT thing!!! He also seems well beyond his years, people are always amazed when they hear him speak that he is only 3 :) He continues to love being a Pirate or a Fixer Guy or a Cowboy or a Train Conductor or whatever he is feeling that day!!! His imagination never disappoints :) (Him or us!!!)
* Liam is our newest member of the family. He was born on Feb. 10 of this year at 6:56am via C-Section weighing 7lbs. 3oz and 18in long :) He has been a real joy!!! He was such a good baby from the very beginning, with sleeping through the night and being a great eater really making the transition from 2 children to 3 not to bad!!! He is now 10 1/2 months and has 6 going on 7 teeth and has taken multiple steps many times over the last couple weeks :)
* Nate & I, well we both are staying busy enough at work so that is good, but even more exciting is that we have been staying even more busy at home working on our new ADDITION!!! We are adding on to our house to make it into our "DREAM" home ;) Well at least a little more spacious anyways :) We are adding on to the main level with a basement under that. On the main level we are adding a Master bedroom, Laundry room and a Bathroom, and in the basement there will be a Family room, Bedroom and a Half Bath!!! We will almost be doubling the footprint of our house!!! I can hardly wait :) We hired the concrete work (Block and slab) done but otherwise we are doing most of the work ourselves with the help of our Dads and other family!!! I am so happy that God has blessed me with a Husband that is not only willing but enjoys doing these kinds of projects and also that family and Friends have stepped up the way that they always do to make this possible!!! Thank You to all of you that have been helping!!!
Well I hope that this update finds you all in good heath and spirits this Christmas season and I hope that the Lord blesses you in the year to come!!! The Sommer Family :)
