And Life Goes On…
Things continue to be very hectic in our household. Here’s a brief rundown!
Liam- still teething, not a happy baby. A cloth diapering friend is sending me an amber teething necklace, in hopes that it might help. The hyland teething tablets do nothing and our pediatrician has advised against unnecessary use of medication. So, we’re trying natural routes and so far nothing is helping.
Ethan- is starting to really talk. He’s a quiet little boy, but his vocabulary is starting to grow. He doesn’t really speak in sentences yet and is very hard to communicate with most of the time, but in the past couple weeks or so, we’ve started to notice a desire in him to start saying more words.
Samuel- always a little goof ball. He is always saying the funniest things, from telling me that he can only say “bluedle” (instead of blue), to saying that he wants to marry Auntie Dee Dee and getting very upset when told that he can’t. He’s our clown and continues also to be our cuddlebug and little sloth-boy.
Patrick- ready for Kindergarten in the fall! We are all very excited for him to begin grade school. He’ll be taking the bus to and from school and he is very excited about that. He also just finished up his first season of tee-ball, and he had a great time. He learned a lot and really enjoyed it. He will have one more year of teeball before he goes on to coach pitch, but I personally think he is ready for coach pitch now. Andrew and I throw the ball at him now and then, and he does a really good job at hitting it without using the tee. He’s going to be great at baseball!
Andrew- busy with work and life and all the other stuff. He’s been doing a lot of work with his new partnership that he recently formed, ProTec Solutions, and has been finding a growing number of customers. He also keeps pretty busy with his full-time job, taking care of the house and yard, and helping me with the boys. With all that, there’s not a lot of time for extras, but he manages to squeeze them in here and there.
Sarah- I’ve been incredibly busy myself. I had a grand debut for my newborn diapers this past week, which was a success! I’ve had a lot of new customers come in, a lot of new custom orders, and I’ve never been busier. I also just become a PartyLite independent consultant, which is something that I’ve wanted to do for a very long time. You can find my new website here.
We are all looking forward to a busy summer! In addition to a trip to Iowa to visit Rachel and Alex, we plan to do a weekend down at the Oregon beach and a lot of other little day trips here and there. Andrew and I will also be celebrating our 7th anniversary in a month and a half from now! Where does the time go? I have no idea… you blink and then it’s gone. I’m hoping that despite all the crazy things we are doing this summer, we’ll still have time to really stop and enjoy the boys. They are growing up way too fast…
