Quinn - Gymnastics

Quinn has been in gymnastics for a little over a year.  I credit gymnastics for Quinn's improved coordination and balance.  After taking the summer off from gymnastics, Quinn can hardly wait to get back to her weekly lessons.  She has been practicing her skills around the house - so much so that Sullivan now thinks she needs to give these skills a whirl.  Quinn is our cartwheel queen!

Sullivan - Giggling

I would say that all children's laughter is infectious, however Sullivan's laughter has something about it that I just can't enough of! You will most often hear Sullivan's deep belly laugh when she is up to a little mischief! She loves to laugh and laughs often!  I say laugh on, little girl, laugh on!

Ryan - Ghostbusters (& other movies from the 80s)

We all remember these classic movies - Ghostbusters, Top Gun, Back to the Future, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  These movies are over 20 years old, but are consistently run on TV.  I know this because every time they are on we have to watch them.  Ryan is hooked on these movies.  He grew up watching them and has all the lines memorized by heart.  The true dilemma comes into play when there are more than one movie from the 80s on and Ryan has to choose which one to watch.  9 times out of 10 Back to the Future wins!

Audra - Games

I love, love, love to play games.  There aren't many games that I won't play and enjoy.  I think that is because we were a game family.  I have many fond memories of us playing board games and card games together.  Unfortunately Ryan really doesn't enjoy playing games and on the rare event that I can talk him into playing one, he will only play Yahtzee! with me.  You can only play Yahtzee! 1,876 times before you get bored of it!  I am hoping that one or both of my girls gets the game bug in them and will play games with me as they get older.

If I had to pick, right now my favorite card game is Phase 10 and my favorite board game is Blockus.
