Up to Speed...

The past month we welcomed the New Year and celebrated Grandpa's 90th Birthday shortly after. Tragically, not even a week later we lost our loved Uncle Chip suddenly. That loss, in addition to sickness throughout our house, has been our start to 2012. We are looking up to bigger and brighter days. Recently, we have been spending more time with family & friends. My sister Melissa and my niece Billi moved back to Colorado this week, from Massachusetts. We are overjoyed to have them home! Preston is back to school and just got amazing reviews at his PTC this week (yeah!). Always a relief :) And little Zac is trying to keep up with brother, talking more and more everyday. He is just too stinkin' cute sometimes.

Both boys had their dental check-ups recently. My favorite 2 words... "No Cavities!" And we were blessed to hear them twice, one for each boy. Preston had a bluegrass installed in his mouth to help him stop sucking his fingers. So far it seems to be working, although he attempts to put his fingers in his mouth a lot still. Hopefully this will taper off soon.

Here is Zac getting his teeth cleaned. 

The hygienist was amazed at how well he tolerated it!

Preston, the old Pro at the dentist. He is so good :) 

 This picture cracks me up! Zac chilling watching Wonder Pets.

He didn't even get his coat or shoes off!

I love this picture of Reg and I. It was taken a few weeks ago. 

We look good together, aye? 

That's all from the Shoats Family for now.  We will be updating again shortly.
