Gone too long

I didn't plan on taking a blogging break it just kind of happened. We got super busy and time got away from me. Work went crazy too. We had a person from our office leave and rather than replace that position those duties were taken over by me. Finding my new grove has had it's learning curve. But I think I'm back on it.


Here are a few highlights from lately...


This child is 90% potty trained. I mean even when we put him in a diaper he holds it until we get to the potty. I still put him in a diaper for nap and bed time. He wakes up dry from nap but not bed time and that's ok. We went to the zoo yesterday and I put him in a diaper because I didn't want to be all " do you have to pee?" every 5 seconds. He went dry the whole time and told us when he had to go! So proud of him. Now let's see how he does at daycare.



We celebrated 6 years of marriage with a weekend getaway (post on that tomorrow) and it was wonderful and just what we needed. Love that man!



This weekend is going to be crazy we have a 50th wedding anniversary Friday, my Grandma's 90th on Saturday and then a picnic on Sunday. I'm tired just thinking about it.


We had a party for my Dad's birthday and it just remeined me blessed I am to have my family be so close. I love love them.



Plus I got to hold this nugget love this weekend (it's my cousins baby) and let me just say baby fever is so real!



Okay that's all I have for today but expect a week full of getting caught up!

Happy Tuesday!

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

Update...

Things have been…..how do I say this different lately. We have been struggling to find our footing for months now. It feels like the hits just keep on coming. On February 10 th my parents were in a very serious (awful, horrible, scary) car accident. My father suffered a stroke (we found this out later) while driving the car. My mother was the passenger and they hit a telephone pole and then flipped (it’s an estimate because no one saw the accident happen) 6-8 times and landed on the drivers side of the car 100 feet off the road. I was still at work when I got a call from an unknown number and for only reasons that God knows I answered it and it was a young girl who had pulled up on the accident and had gotten my mom out of the car and was there with them while they waited for Mercy Flight for my dad as he was unresponsive. It was gut wrenching and horrible and I felt paralyzed. My mother was taken by ambulance to the same hospital they were Mercy Flighting my father to. We got...
