Hello All!
There are no pictures here, just update! So far so good here. Lavar has had two out of three shots on his knees to help him feel better when he plays. He is already feeling better so hopefully this will help him completely so he doesn't have to get surgery this summer. If he does, it is only a 6 week recovery, which I guess isn't that bad to what it could be. If you haven't heard, his coach just quit while we were home for Christmas. This is a bummer because the coach was American and was a good coach. So now they have a French coach. He has already cut one of the players, and things are looking a little shady. Just the way they handle things is not great. The American player they cut is actually very good, and he was playing good. They didn't even tell this guy until the day before they brought the new guy in. And their reasons where that Mike, the old guy, had been talking to Pro A teams. This is stupid, because he wasn't and that is no reason to fire him. Lavar's job is secure though. He is a very good player for his position. He is not considered an American and he is not French, but he plays as good as an american. If they cut him, it would be hard to find someone to fill his spot. So good!
Tae is not walking yet! He can stand on his own and he took some steps a couple times, but nothing more. I think physically he can, but he is faster crawling so he doesn't really even want to try. So he is taking his own sweet time. I guess that is okay, people say it gets crazy when they start. He isn't talking with real words yet, but he is fluent in Baby! He holds things that look like a phone up to his ear and talks. So cute. He might be getting some more teeth. He is drooling a lot, but I don't feel anything. Still loves to eat!! Mommy and daddy can't even eat without him in his highchair and something on it!
I am doing good. I am supposed to start French classes soon. I have a meeting on next Thursday to see where I will fit in. I am excited about that because I really need to get crackin! My parents are coming in March so we are going to have a birthday party for the little guy. Other than that, all is well. The travel agency is going well. A couple people here are interested and we are working on some other trips. I enjoy it as well!
Thanks for all your love and support. I hope you enjoy the pictures and I will hopefully be better at updating the blog!! I love reading the comments!!
Lavar, Natalia, and Tae
This is Tae and his new tiger friend. It is so cute how much he loves this little tiger. We were shopping in the grocery store and I sometimes give him things to play with while we shop but then he looses interest by the time we go to check out. But not in this case. As soon as I gave it to him he hugged it so hard. It was so cute. So when we got to the check out I took it away and he got all intense and started kicking his feet and got really anxious. It was so cute, I couldn't stand it. 
He has never liked something so much from a store and he doesn't have any stuffed animals at home. So I got it. But it was a good purchase, becuase he smiles everytime he sees it and still hugs it to death. It is so cute. John and Eric saw Tae with the tiger on Skype and they appropriately named him Hobbes, from Calvin and Hobbes. I am sure Tae will be reading them when he is older!
