I haven't had any good ideas for a theme for a post, so this is just going to be a hodge-podge of different things we have been up to lately. Plus lots of pictures, which is the important part anyway.
Progress with the house continues. We had a little scare the other day that we might not be able to live there, but we are hoping things are getting worked out. We would be absolutely devastated to not be able to move there, after all the hard work we put into it. So we aren't doing any moving right now just in case, but we pretty much finished the house before we knew this. John put in the floor in the kitchen this past weekend, and I don't have any pictures of it yet, but hopefully I'll get some soon!

While I don't have any pictures to accompany this news, it is probably the biggest thing that has happened this past week. John is COMPLETELY DONE with his master's degree! His thesis was submitted, approved, and he didn't need to make any changes. We all knew he would graduate this year, but sometimes graduate students have to keep making corrections to their thesis's and defenses. Well John has had a huge weight lifted off his shoulders, and can relax (at least about that) now!
Gavyn has just been up to being a little boy. He is discovering, playing, experimenting, starting to talk, and playing some more. He has also been testing how much he can get away with lately, which he is discovering isn't a while lot! He really really loves birds, and really all animals. He won't crawl anymore unless he is pushing around one of his or Kolton's old cars or trucks. He has a favorite book, called "I am a Dump Truck" that we have to read at least 20 times a day.
