1. Updates
It is a constant thing. I think that it is this way for everyone....right? I have done a LOT. Well I might easily be able to rephrase, my dad has done a LOT. Some of the recent updates are a new sink and faucet (long over due) a new screen door for the back (Greg and I talked about needing one the first time we looked at the house) and painting the boys room. It is still a khaki color, but now has more durable paint and very fresh. I have also been working a ton in the yard. I split and moved a ton of hostas and actually planted vegetables in the garden.
2. Big boy beds
I took the sides off of the cribs. The boys are getting old enough for this next step. To give you a quick update on how they are doing...Owen has never tried to get out of his bed. Cameron on the other hand is all over the room. He wasn't for the first week but he figured it out. He goes into Owen's bed, he plays all over the room, he is doing something that both boys laugh and laugh and laugh. The whole time...Owen stays in bed. He is such a character.
We have side rails on the bed (thank you Tanya) and there is only a tiny opening for the boys to crawl in and out. This opening is where Cameron decided to fall asleep one night.
3. Health
With the second set of tubes, adenoid out, winter over, and the start of claritin....I think it is working! Cameron has been somewhat of a new man. He still whines like most 2 year old kids but for the most part he is able to play and have fun without being sick. Here are two silly pictures he wanted to take after he was playing in the pouring rain last week.
4. Friends
Here is a picture of bike day at school. We started a bike parade. Cameron was at the end but he was lapping everyone and not staying in line. Below that is a picture of Kally (from school) and Austin, her brother. Their family also goes to our gym. On Sunday we all happened to pull up at the same time. The kids all RAN into the daycare center and we were able to get this quick shot of them playing while the adults checked in. Now when we pull up to the gym Owen frequently says, "Where's Kally?"
5. Summertime
I need to start making a list of summertime activities. I think that we will be spending a lot of time at the pool or playing in the yard. I think that it will be a blast and go by way too quickly. I am starting a new schedule at work. This means that I will be working more days. That alone is hard to swallow BUT it is a necessity in order to keep this household above water.
Yay for summer!!!!
***The Harris family arrives in town tonight!! Very excited to spend time with the cousins!!**
