I've been neglecting my blogger duties!

So... I guess it's ok I had neglected my duties, as I was busy writing my 125 page thesis! But, now I am graduated (that's right, its now, Chera Sevcik M.S.) and I have more time to dedicate to maintaining our blog and picture site. In the mist of looking for a full time job, I am still working part time with PPMNS. I feel unsettled, anxious and eager to see what lies ahead. The economy surely isn't a friend to any new graduate (or anyone really), so I am just holding on and trying to remember to enjoy my extra free time.

Treyson is my little charmer. He is a good little man who is excited for all summer has to bring! He will be finishing his 1st year of preschool on May 29th and will have a summer free to play. He loves daycare and will continue to go there over the summer. He has really done well at preschool this year and has learned many new things. He continues to amaze me every day.

Makaylah will be 1 on May 30th!!!!! It is SO hard to believe, this year has gone by so fast! She has two teeth (her bottoms) but could eat steak like a champ. She was breastfeeding until this past week when she suddenly decided she wanted nothing to do with my feeding her anymore. I am happy to have made it 12 months, especially while in school. It is certainly an accomplishment! She is crawling all over, and cruising furniture.. she just hasn't gotten up the nerve to let go and run. She still has her sweet dimples and her "natural" mod hairdo! She is my sweet girl who is learning to talk. It's amazing how fast she has grown up! It is hard to think a year ago I was on bedrest, contracting away on my couch.

Makaylah on the MOVE!

This week Makaylah really started to go! She does a perfect army crawl!

Makaylah is getting so big! 9 months old this week! She is such a happy little lady, and cute as a button too!! No teeth yet, but she is eating anything and everything. I am still breastfeeding and that is still going well. She is also talking too- says hi, dada, mama, kitty, baby. She LOVES books!! She is a lot like her big brother!

Treyson is doing great! He is loving life as a three year old. He is such a good boy, and I feel (knock on wood) we have got passed the terrible threes. He has grown very attached to me, I think because I have been so busy lately that he really wants his mommy when she is home.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Years!

Geez, I'm a slacker...

We had a great Christmas! Treyson was SO excited about Santa!! And boy, Santa was sure good to him (and Makaylah too). Treyson and Mommy made cookies a few days before Santa came and on xmas eve night, we set out two cookies, a glass of milk and some carrots (for rudolph). He was excited to see all the presents under the tree and noticed that "santa was sure messy with his treats." After unwrapping presents, we headed to Grandma and Papa Leen's house for Christmas. Treyson and his cousin Kylie had a great time playing with their new kitchen sets and shopping carts. The kids loaded up on gifts there. We stayed the night and the entire next day. Friday night we headed over to Jeffers to start the Sevcik family Christmas. Again, the kids loaded up on lots of new toys, clothes and books! Treyson and his cousin Noah had a blast playing together.

After getting home on Sunday, we decided Treyson has so many new toys we had to create a toy room space somewhere in our house. This week my project was our basement. We have a full basement and were using a portion of good space as storage. I just felt unorganized! So we moved all the storage to the laundry room and created an office/workout space which can be blocked off from the kids (major plus). I then painted the previous office space and created a toyroom area for all the toys. It turned out great!!

I've been off of work for the past three weeks from MSU. A well deserved break!! I also took a mental break from my thesis.. it was great not having to think about it for a few weeks.. but now its back to the old grind of school and work!

Oh yeah, and I totally procrastinated on order and sending christmas cards this year. Maybe we will be untraditional and send some Valentine Cards or something :-)

Anywho, hope your holidays were great and filled with good food, good people and lots of presents!
