Mrs. Morgan

I have decided to give a quick update on Morgan in between catching up on the Holidays and our "busy" posts...

Everyone has been wondering about her and what SHE is up to...

Here is our stinker butt

Most days she allows me to photograph her. It is almost as if she knows what I am doing and it makes her happy too. I love this about Morgan. Every once in a while I will set up shop only to find out she isn't having anything to do with my camera.

HOW big is Morgan?

14 months old

23 lbs

30.5 in tall

12-18 mo's clothes

Her favorite foods:

Words she can say clearly:

Mommy

Snack

Bubbi = sippy

she has said please a few times but only when her brother Tyler asks her to. They must have a thing because she doesn't say it for me and Kale.

Yesterday evening while we were all eating dinner, Morgan grabbed daddy's napkin and wiped her mouth!! Kale and I looked at each other and just busted out laughing! So, of course Morgan did it about 18 more times and in between laughing at us! The cutest things she picks up on out of no where are just crazy cute!

Her favorite things to do:

Get into anything she can reach

Go though mommy's purse

Lock and unlock the cabinets in kitchen

Pull all of her clothes out of the drawer and then put them all back

Bath time

Putting her diapers in the trash HERSELF

Snuggle

Our little girl is getting big fast!!

Busy, Busy, Busy {#1}

Our Shank Family has been busy lately.

We have started so many new things in our lives for 2013. I can promise you though that these are NOT new year resolutions. We, Kale and I, decided no more funky resolutions that we knew we wouldn't keep! Instead, we have been praying and seeking the Lord within our family to help us make many changes throughout this year and beyond!

I want to say that some of these changes are coming along pretty easily...but then I would be totally bluffin!

It's been really tough. We have shed some tears. We have had some changes that are almost unbearable!

So what have we been up to in our lives these days??

Sharin has officially decided to step it up and take on full time schooling this go around for 2013. What does this mean?

Instead of graduating around January of 2015...she gets to graduate THIS OCTOBER!!!

Yep. You read correctly. Sharin is graduating with an Associates Degree in Web Design and Interactive Media through the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in October!!!!

Is she excited?? YES!!!

Despite a really rough start to this new routine and demand for her time...she's doing really well.

Sharin is the kind of person...her grades being A's are so important. As she progresses through onto harder classes....she might have to settle for a B here and there.

We will definitely be throwing a shin dig for her graduation!

More to come!! Stay tuned for the other busy, busy, busy posts!!
