A lot has happened in a few short weeks. My mom is moved into her new place (2.4 m from me), although still working on getting settled in. We've all had a virus which has meant lots of runny noses. Kyle fell off the top of a ladder while talking to the little girls next door (bruised up but not broken).
The real highlight was getting away to Oregon for the 4th. We left Thursday night, drove all night (9hrs) and arrived and Grandma and Grandpa Nelson's around 4:30 AM. We were a little groggy on Friday.
While there, we relaxed, ate a ton, went fishing, enjoyed the river/boat, jet ski, ATV, walks, and some amazing fireworks - thanks to Chad & Ron. They had a whole box which took about 2 hrs and all kinds of crazy devices - only one mishap but no one injured (thank goodness!)
Sean and Kyle were in their glory up there, so busy and so happy.
The trip back on Monday was long; making 3 stops (1 of which was Medford Costco) it was 12 hrs, arriving back to SJ around 11:30 PM. LONG DAY and the kids were ok but it was trying.
Sean is standing up on his own and trying to take steps, so it will only be a matter of time. He has completely given up baby food and only wants "people food." This means I need to go grocery shopping and get more creative with soft food he can feed himself.
Kyle is loving preschool (he was moved up to "room A"), is still potty training, talks constantly, likes to wrestle with Sean, and is really into baseball and basketball.
We just decided to start insisting he sit at the dinner table with us and eat what we're eating. It's been a rocky road. We made a few mistakes along the way with regard to his eating regimen that we're trying to avoid with Sean and make right with Kyle.
We're all doing well, very tired at times with so much going on constantly but nothing to complain about.
Looking forward to our motor home trip to Calgary/Lake Louise in August. Chad parents are being incredibly generous and letting us borrow their RV. What an adventure that will be. Enjoy the pics, you'll see the boys are getting big and are starting to look more and more different from one another - they are truly their own people.
