Random things

Hey Boys!
You know what I realized this week?  You two spend more time with each other than we do with you. For the most part, you guys are together 24x7 - daycare together, home together, sleeping together.  Your dad didn't see any obvious point in that revelation but I guess it was just kind of amazing to me that you are always together.  While you are now starting to push, shove and slap each other, one of my biggest wishes is that you guys are close and have each other until you are old and grey!

I had a reoccurring thought this week.  When we prayed for you guys, we never really got past the point of delivering you safely full term.  We never really thought about you growing up.  But, I am always completely amazed by how fast you are growing.  I don't mean that in the sense of growing older (while that is shocking, too), I mean it how fast you are learning and changing.  Because I had no frame of reference, I had no idea that a 3.5 year old would be so smart or talk so much.  I think I figured you guys would be pretty clueless until you were in school but you both are so much more advanced than I thought you would be.  I am so proud of you!

Joey is making potty training progress!  You have been doing great at Mary's but not so great at our house.  I would not be comfortable leaving the house with you in undies but we are getting closer.  I joked that we need a plumber to come to the house and install a toilet next to my bed.  You will only go on one certain chair and only when it is in front of the TV  :)

Few scrapbook pages to share to close for today!

Our trip to Adventureland last weekend.  It was a good time and, thankfully, it wasn't hot!

Mila's party - you guys had a great time playing with your cousins and having a sleepover at Aunt Sheila's.

Our annual Orchard trip.  As usual, I am so over apples!!


First day of school at Mary's!

Elijah's soccer clinic.  I can't decide if you love it or not.  You wanted to play so bad but now, you don't want to go.  2 more weeks!
