We survived what felt like the longest month ever! It could have been the week and a day we had off of school or the cold weather or Tom being gone for 3 consecutive weeks....but either way, we made it!
The babies are so big! They are officially 4.5 months old and it feels like they change so much every day. They had their four month check-up yesterday and everyone is healthy and doing well.

Conner is HUGE! He is 27.5 inches long (>98%) and 15 lbs, 5 oz (50%). So he is super LONG and lean! He still loves to sleep (12-14 hours every night) and also loves his bouncy seat and activity center. He has learned how to suck his thumb and LOVES to eat. He also started Baby food yesterday and is obsessed. It was like has had been eating his whole life. Not one drop was wasted and he polished off 2.5 bowls! He can also roll from front to back and has gone back to front a couple times!

Tinsley is also big but not as big as brother. She is 25.5 inches (88%) and 14 lbs, 9 oz (60%). She is still working on the sleep thing but can usually string together 5 or 6 hours...although then she seems to think it is ok to be up for the day at 4:00am!! She loves the activity center and her paci! She also started baby food and it is a work in progress! She got more on her bib, face and hair than she did in her mouth but she seemed to enjoy it! She is a rolling machine and can go front to back ot back to front with ease!
We also enjoyed our first and second snows of the season within a weekend of each other. MLK Weekend we were "lucky" enough to get a snow day on Friday - which was really just ice and a dusting of snow, followed by a real snow the next Monday. I think we got about 3-4 inches. The kids LOVED it and we were out of school for a whole week! Of course Tom was out of town for both out of school days but we survived thanks to awesome neighbors!
Hudson and Thomas were obsessed with sledding and all things snowy. They sledded and stayed out longer than anyone else! Sobes did a little bit of sledding but was more content inside by the fire.

The twins weren't huge fans of the snow but we did at least take the obligatory photo op!

January also means that basketball is in full swing. The Green Frogs are off to a great start and have 4 games left before the March Madness Tournament.
Other than snow, we have stayed busy with everything else too. Hudson and I spent one night packing bags of food at Second Harvest Food Bank, SueSue and BooBoo made a visit for my Birthday and everyone is enjoying and doing really well at school!
We also enjoyed a good friend's birthday at Above All and I had to share this video of Thomas on the trapeze. He insisted on doing it but then didn't know he was supposed to let go....so he just held on!!! When he finally dropped off, he was upset b/c he thought he did it wrong...but I explained to him he did awesome!
Fingers crossed we are finished with the snow and it starts to warm up around here.
Here are the rest of our January pictures and we can't wait to see what February bring us!
