It's been a few weeks since I posted... Tripp came down with the dreaded RSV virus a couple weeks ago and then passed some of it right along to me. But we are both doing better and Lee managed to steer clear. Nothing too exciting happening now...

We have been busy though... First, Tripp moved into his new big boy room. We switched his room with the spare because it's a lot bigger and now all of his toys are in there, they use to be in the living room. They were overtaking the room and had to go.

The same week we did his room, he also got a new big boy swing set too!! We were graciously given a gently loved huge Rainbow play system! I am so thankful, knowing these things cost a thousand or more dollars, we were very excited to receive it. Lee and Neal spent all afternoon putting it together and Tripp loves it. Too bad it's back to freezing outside and hasn't been back out there much. But we can't wait till it warms up again!

Uncle Neal and Tripp playing on the swing set! Yes, he is wearing shorts, I believe it was close to 80 degrees outside! And now it's 30! No wonder we were all sick!

Tripp's been to work with me several days this month between being sick and out of school for the holidays. He loved wandering around and playing, although he really wanted to bang on my keyboard the whole time.

He is getting so big and so tall. He is talking non-stop and always is full of energy. I was telling someone the other day that he never "winds-down" at night. We usually put him to bed around 8:15-8:30 and he jumps in his crib till he falls asleep. He doesn't cry, just jumps! His class has started doing art projects and I love seeing his "artwork" and putting it up on the frig. Just another thing that reminds me how old he's getting!
