12 weeks home together!

Wow- we have been together for 12 weeks. Where does the time go?

We have been having a lot of fun and the weather is getting super nice. We just love being outside- can you blame us? Two VERY active little boys stuck in a house does not last very long. The pictures above are from the Austin Rodeo. They enjoyed seeing all of the animals, riding a pony, and riding on the scoops and tractors. Mark and I pondered about the last few times we had gone to the rodeo... we enjoyed it with friends of ours, but child free. It has a whole new meaning now and we enjoyed every bit of it!

12 weeks home... we've come a long way:
I started back to work this past Tuesday. Still working for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, which is great. I'll only be there on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8-5PM. It works out well.. the boys enjoy going to "school" on those days. It's a Childrens Courtyard right by our house. Brand new and seems to work out well thus far. It gives us a little change and some peer interaction for all of us. Outside of that, we've been spending time at the gym where the boys play, as does Mom, outside in the back yard, hitting up the local parks and slides, various doctor appointments here and there, play dates with some neighbors and friends, and more potty training! The boys really enjoy sandboxes, so we are anxious for ours to be delivered in the next week or two. Next week- surgery for adnoids and ear tubes- yuck. After their surgery, we are looking to start swim lessons. Fin is still working with the speech therapist, and has received so many compliments on how well he is doing. I am beginning to think we won't need her much longer, but we'll see how he does after his surgery. We're thinking there may be even more improvement in hearing and talking.

It is crazy how quickly the time flies. Other parents out there know it and they tell you how quickly the kids will grow up. It truly is amazing how fast the time goes. 12 weeks and counting... we couldn't be happier!
