My Sweet Valentines

How lucky can a guy get? Having these two around sure makes it fun at the Flessner house. Happy Valentine's Day Court and Abel!

Abel and the snow!

I posted below about my snowday and all of our fun playing. Here is just a cute cute shot of Abel in the snow!

Snowday!!!

Ok, Janesville NEVER calls off school and we've already had 3 snowdays this year and one already scheduled for tomorrow! J-town got 18 inches of snow today! We got slightly less, but it has been quite a winter. We bundled Abel up today and took him out to play. He LOVED the snow. He sat in it, ate it, slid down the HUGE piles from shoveling, laid in it...he couldn't get enough. It was blowing in all our faces and it didn't even phase him! Here are some shots we got that are some favorites!

Gymnastics Part II

Ryan has continued the tradition of taking Abel to The Little Gym every Tuesday morning. They really have a great time. Ryan calls and brags to me that Abes is the "example child" quite often. :) Miss Cindy is a big fan of Abel's (ummm who's not???) This week, Abel even got a compliment from Miss Cindy for pointing his toes while he walked across the beam (genes baby, genes! Ryan told Miss Cindy that the beam was my specialty in high school!) Anyway, they do all kinds of things: the parachute, group activities, forward rolls (on the floor and the beam) playing with the balls (apparently Abel has gotten very good at helping put them away) and exploring with the bubbles. My mom went with them this week and took some great shots. Here are some to share!

Abel's Pullover

I remember learning how to do a pullover at gymnastics. It took some serious ab muscles and wasn't the easiest thing. At The Little Gym, they teach you how to spot the kids in doing a pullover. It's really pretty unbelievable! Here is a sequence of Abes doing his pullover! (Thanks Grandma Peggy for the great shots!)
