Me: Slacker


Okay, okay... I was quite busy at work and after work last week and didn't post. I know. My apologies to anyone who counts on us for a bit of humor. We had a great week - John's birthday was lots of fun. The boys had so much fun planning a 'party'. They wanted him to have a GI Joe party, but we settled with no theme... They got him an Auburn dress shirt. I got him a hydration thing for biking... He plans to do another big ride this spring and I thought it would be handy.

Drew's reading is really impressive these days. He was focused on trying to read his fortune cookie last night. We are so proud of him :) Jack is really excited about his spring 'program'. He is constantly singing a song (they do several different ones). His favorite this weekend is the 'Days of the Week' song (to the tune of the Adams Family theme song).

Bo is learning all kinds of fun new things. All he wanted to do all weekend was pull himself up to a standing position. We got him a push walker (not something he sits in, but rather one he stands behind and pushes). He is all over it. We went to dinner last night at a Japanese steak house and the kids LOVED it. They ate so well and were enthralled with the chef, who really catered to them throughout the meal. I was so pleased. Bo ate some rice and had fun as well. He slept well. Officially he has 8 teeth, so we are letting him 'eat' a little bit of table food - although most ends up around his chair.

It is so good to get an update - I missed you guys last week! Glad to hear everyone is doing well!!! Bella is really into singing these days as well - she is constantly singing something although most times I cannot decipher what it is!

Hope you all have a great week and Happy Belated Birthday, John!

glad to see you are back! I am not asking you post everyday, just you know once a week so we know you are alive and not dealing with a sick household, again!
I forgot to mention there is some bacteria in the dirt that you are not supposed to get on your hands. I can't remember what, 'cause I'm pregnant, but it is a good excuse not to go weed, that and the temp not above 30!
Happy Belated Birthday to John!
