Man, it's been a while since I've updated, I've got to work on that! Here are some random pictures from the last month or so. We are doing great here in the Tomlinson household. Here's the "low-down" on the fam:
Andrew is done with school (finish with a 4.0 I might add!) and enjoying having all of his evening free again. Working hard as usual in his construction business and the vonlunteer fire department. Keep his career situation in your prayers if you think of it because it looks like the city is hiring and he received a letter inquiring if he's still interested.
Marie has been traveling the last couple of months. Las Vegas for an Arbonne conference in April and Florida for a girls weekend in May. Other than that I've been enjoying my boys, working my business, and doing some photography. Also enjoying meeting new friends and having playdates with some mom's groups!
Gavin of course is changing and growing a ton. What a fun summer this has been so far! He's really talking up a storm (sometimes it's in his own language but he's always jabbering!) He's learning "A, B, C, D" I showed him the first three letters on a puzzle a couple of times and that was it, he knew them! I'm shocked at how quickly he recognizes and learns! It's so fun to see him come up with his own words or gestures for things.
We have started working on the potty a little. For several months now he's expressed when he has a dirty diaper and knows what the "pobba" (potty) is so we got a potty seat that sits on the big one and he gets up there and sits for a little bit. Nothings happened yet but he likes sitting! I know he could probably be trained by now but I just haven't taken the plunge to really get serious about it, I think the time is about here though!
We went to the zoo for the first time a couple weeks ago an Gavin still can't stop talking about it! And by "talking about it" I mean saying "zoooooo" and then going through all of the animal sounds of what we saw and talking about his friends CJ (which he has his own way of saying) and Syndey- "Me". We'll have to go back soon, he loved it. It made us miss the Jacksonvile zoo though, the one here doesn't even come close! But he liked it so I guess that counts!
We are in the process of putting our townhouse in Jacksonville on the market (good deal if anyone is looking!) so we are praying that will be taken off our hands quickly and smoothly so we can start settling better here. That's about it for now I guess, more to come soon!!

Trying on daddy's boots (he LOVES putting on our shoes!!)
"beep beep" lookout!!
Discovering his nose!
Double fisting it- now that's the way to eat icecream!
Out to icecream with "bampa" & "mamaw"
-everytime he talks about grandpa he says "tractor" and he says "mamaw" with a really rough, deep voice!!! He's so funny!

Gav is getting nervous because he just realized he got to close to the polar bears!
