Tailynn is 2 years and 7 months old.

Hennessey is 10 months old.

Hennessey broke her first tooth!  We’ve been waiting for this for a few months!  HOORAY HENNESSEY!

Tailynn likes to call me by my first name sometimes, and it makes me laugh.

Hennessey has learned to Army crawl!  It’s terribly cute (I’ll do my best to get a video…).  I suspected she might have forward movement on Sunday (1/10/10), but didn’t have time to test it out (more on why later).  About late morning, I received a text from my super-fab sister in law that there was official forward movement!  Hooray!

Tailynn has done some terribly adorable things, as well.  She was playing with her plastic horses in the kitchen.  She was gliding them along the linoleum.  After a minute or so, she looks up and says “Look! Horses are ice skating!”  I about died!  They totally WERE ice skating!

Then yesterday in the car she had her bear.  I hear her say from the back seat “I’ll pick you up.  You can look out the window.”  So I do a quick head turn, and she’s got bear hoisted up so he can see out the window!  After a few minutes she says “Okay, you can look out Hennessey’s window,” and she turns him around to take a peek out the other side of the car.  Too adorable!

Matt and I finally got to do something fun together, no kiddos involved.  We took a gun class!  I know, it seems totally strange, but it was SO super fun!  A great friend (thanks, Josh!) lent us the weaponry, and we bought ammo.  We took the CCW (carry concealed weapon) class from Matt’s friend at work who is a certified instructor.  It was cheap, and covered 22 hours (!!!) over three days.  We did a LOT of “classroom” stuff, and spent most of our time learning how NOT to be gun-retarded.  It was awesome.  Sunday morning we had to take the shooting test.  It was the VERY first time I had EVER fired a weapon.  EVER.  Matt has been shooting before (granted, not for 16+ years), and the other dude, Justin, has taken a CCW class in two states before, and has been to shooting ranges.

I kicked their butt.

It was awesome.

Matt and I had a super fun time, and if I had a gun that didn’t give my poor hand bruises, I’d totally go to the shooting range again!
