Where does the time go?

Well, Cora turned 3 months last week. It's crazy to look back on my last post to see how much she has grown and changed since then. I can't believe how fast the time has flown by. She is doing well, and Beau still adores her. She is sleeping through the night (LUCKY US), jabbering up a storm, and trying her hardest to do that first roll over. She gets up onto her side with her leg kicked over, but can't quite make it the rest of the way. She sure grunts and hollers working at it though. I've been back to work for almost a month and half now and it has gone much better than I expected. Cora has adapted well, and Beau is so much happier and better behaved with his friends here to play with...he was WAY too bored being home with just Cora and me.

I'm so glad spring is finally here and we can all get outside. We spent the day yesterday picking out plants to replace the ones that I killed off last year, and then went to the park for a picnic and a hike. Beau had a blast just having the freedom to run and explore as he pleased. Both kids were pooped by the time we got home so we had to break for nap and then Beau helped us plant our new flowers.

Beau has also been spending a lot of time trying to figure out how to use the pedals on his bikes. He's getting much better, he can now make it to the neighbors driveway, as long as he gets a start going down hill. Getting started again after he stops is more of a challenge though.

Well, that's the brief update for tonight. I'll be updating our photo site over on Shutterfly later this week for anyone who is interested...stay tuned.

Around here.....

Here's just a little snapshot of what life looks like right now. Around here we're starting to get into the basketball season. Both Beau and Cora are participating in traveling basketball through SYBA. The crazy weekends of tournaments haven't started yet, but they're both having practice regularly. Luke will be the assistant coach to Cora's team this year. Sylvie will get to play too, but her season won't start until January and is one game on Saturday mornings in town. Around here are three kids are going to religion class on Wednesday nights, I'm teaching Cora's 3rd grade class. Between that and basketball practice it's rare to have a weeknight where we are all home. Around here we're getting excited for the holidays! I'm starting in on some shopping, planning and thinking about getting the house decorated. The kids are getting Christmas lists made, and my desk is full of December Daily prep work. Around here I...

WITL Day 5 - Friday

Friday began, as predicted, with a steady soaking rain and I was glad I switched my run to yesterday. At 5am Georgia decided I've hit the snooze button enough, puts her paws up on the bed and licks my hands until I get up. She didn't get the same glad feeling about not getting to head out on a run, and lay pouting by the front door. I fill her food bowl while the coffee brews, and she decides that if we can't run she'll ask to be repeatedly let in and out instead. The result was lots of muddy paw drying. Around 6 Luke leaves for work and Georgia settles down. The house is finally quiet and still and I'm thankful for the few minutes of peace. It's daycare appreciation day, and this year I am showered with gifts from my families. It definitely adds a boost to the otherwise dreary and slow start to the day. As the kids are packing their bags for school I find that some homework has been neglected throughout the week. I'm ...

Not The Only One

Another Halloween has come and gone. This year we had a dinosaur, vampire, and Snow White (returning for the second year in a row). Holidays like this are always such a stark reminder of just how not babies my babies are. Once again I just wasn't in the Halloween spirit this year. We didn't even go to a pumpkin patch or apple orchard. The few free hours we had were cold and rainy and the kids weren't in to it. I definitely wasn't into it. This year, as if I needed more of a reminder of how fast my kids' childhood is slipping away, the social media trend seemed to be "Halloween from years gone by". Everyone, at least in my "friend" feed was posting year to year Halloween pictures of their kids. As I was busy liking and loving everyone's past Halloweens I came across a post that stopped me in my tracks. In her post she stated that she felt like the Scrooge of Halloween and that what was once fun now felt like ...
