Sit and Spell

Exciting times for the Laughlins! We have had a lot go down in the past couple weeks. Liam has been rolling over like a champ, but now he can hold himself up in a seated position too! Lucy and I are convinced it was our good example that he's following. He'll be crawling in no time (but no, he won't learn that by watching us). As you can see, he's quite a handsome young man. (o=

Danny has taken some time out from slap shooting wooden blocks at Teppo to learn some letters! He doesn't quite know the whole alphabet yet, but he recognizes more than half of them consistently. He's particularly emphatic about the letter 'R' for some reason. We're not sure yet, but he may grow up to be a pirate. Lucy and I switched his regimen from Cheerios to Alphabits, so hopefully that will help Danny learn the rest of the alphabet. With a little work, he could be reading before he turns 3. Last week Lucy cut Danny's hair, too. What do you think?

Lucy has been training to run her first 5K in several years, the Race for the Cure. She's having a hard time finding the time to run though, since she has picked up more hours at work, but I know she can do it. She hasn't taken any time away from her boys though and continues to be a wonderful wife and mother.

Thursday, Lucy and I went to a happy hour with a bunch of friends, family, and coworkers to celebrate my new job! Starting on May 3, I'll no longer be employed at LPS and will be working at The PCA Group. It was time for me to move on and in addition to several other benefits, The PCA Group has offered flexibility, with regards to scheduling around classes, that wasn't available at LPS. All in all, I'm excited about it and I know it was the right thing to do for the family and for me personally.

We may have more good news to share next week, but until then, let's hope the playoff beard keeps growing. Go Sabres! Go Blackhawks!
