March Madness!!!

Yeah, yeah we know it is halfway through April. We know that we are WAY WAY behind on posting and updating everyone. We had a really super busy and super fun last 4 weeks though and we are just now catching our breath. We have LOTS of photos added to the photo site and will do our best to give you a nice update without making it too long. So, here goes....

First off, Skyler is totally freakin' awesome and we can't remember what Team Smitty ever did without him. He is growing like crazy and is going to be 6 weeks old on Saturday. At his 4 week check up he was 10 lbs. 4 oz. and was 23.5 inches long. He is perfect! (do we sound biased or something?) We are all looking forward to the 8 week appointment to chart his growth again. Although honestly, with all of those shots scheduled Sky might not really be quite as excited as the 'Rents. He has so far been a darn good sleeper and eater and Moms and Pops are very grateful and try tell him so every day. We are all having the best time hanging out together and bonding as the new 4 member team. (let's not forget Dex or he might throw a little dog hissy on us.)

Now, what the hell have you jokers been up to that has made you not post you ask? Well, let's see....

March Madness Yo!!:
RAWK CHALK JAYHAWK!!!!
Hot damn was that great. Team Smitty decided to take in our favorite sporting event on earth as much as humanly possible this year, and since we are all on leave we went big. Picture this...we are kicked back in our bed with the newly completed Team Smitty cuddled up in all of it's sleep deprived glory watching 4 freakin' games at one time yo! Gawd damn to we love super sweet sports packages. (special note: your eyes will start to water and blur after the first day, but if you persevere you can make it.) As the field narrowed and Kansas was still standing we got the pleasure of watching the games with fellow Kansans here visiting and Skyler got to rock his wardrobe of Jayhawk gear provided by many of our loyal readers. We all know how it turned out in the end and much celebrating has been had here to make up for not being in Larryville with everyone. We here in SmittyTownUSA feel that our lucky little Jayhawk brought that certain something to push the Jayhawks over the top and help KU bring home the championship. As his Uncle Storm says, "Sky is here to save the world and it seems right that starts with the Jayhawk Nation." Skyler Lincoln is our little rabbit's foot we tell ya! Go Jayhawks, Rawk Chalk and yay for the madness. Best timed Maternity/Paternity leave ever!

Our esteemed guests:
During our last post, Grandma Tina was still here and her visit was going swimmingly. Well it didn't change that is for sure. We had a great time with her and she helped us out tremendously. Overall TeamSmitty recommends that everyone have the help of a Grandma around their house as often as possible.

Next came Grandma Mary and Grandpa JT. Skyler was in Grandparent love heaven. Seriously, we think that he was borderline spoiled. He loved the extra attention and holding time and the 'Rents were again grateful for the help. The Grandparents even helped to clean up the Smitty Compound again before they left knowing that more guests were due right away. We got to watch KU trounce UNC and had a nice little party for the occasion. As you can see from the many smiles in the photos, fun was had all around.

And last, but not least...
Grandpa Gary, Uncle Robbie and Aunt Traci arrived. It was the day after the Jayhawks won the tourney and we set out for a lunch immediately upon their arrival sporting our gear. To our surprise (mostly because we forgot what we were wearing) we received many congratulations on the big win even here in SF. As with our previous guests we spent lots of time in GG Park and we just so happened to have fantastic weather for that weekend. Grandpa Gary and Sky jumped at this golden opportunity to chill in the hammock together.

Wooohooooo!! Hope to not let so much time lapse before we post again.

Lots of love,
Team Smitty
