What's going on...

We have had a few busy, well, months lately. Isn't it always that way? Once the summer is over everyone feels like things will calm down, but most often it turns out to be just the opposite! :) Teage just asked me the other day if we were going to have any weekend coming up that there was nothing going on....and I had to tell him "probably not". :) We have had a lot of fun together as a family though. And we love any opportunity to do that.
The bad part, Teage was sick a few weeks ago and had to stay put in bed for quite a while. The boys were a huge help though, being his little helpers. They loved being able to bring him food, or take his temperature. :)The good part, after Teage got better I was able to go and have some Mommy time with my wonderful friend Karine. Both of us had been a little stressed lately, so we decided to have a few hours to ourselves and go into Seattle for the day. It was FABULOUS! All we did was eat, chat, walk around Pike Place, and eat and chat some more. I can't even tell you how rejuvenating it was for both of us.

The boys have been having lots of fun lately as well. They are getting into this really fun stage right now. Both are learning so much lately, and love to tell you all about anything new they have learned that day! Dylan especially loves to repeat everything that I say, and sometimes coming from a two year old, that sounds pretty darn funny. :) Both boys are wanting to be just like Daddy as well. This is how I found Lucas the other day, as he said "Bye Mommy, I go to work!" Of course everyone who goes to work needs their Lightening McQueen PJ's, fire fighter helmet, camera, and cell phone!

Then two weekends ago we were able to go with some of our buddies to celebrate our friend Nick's 30th brithday. They rented a "cabin" for the weekend in Eastern Washington, and so of course I pictured a rustic outdoorsy experience, but this is what we saw when we pulled the car up on Friday:
GORGEOUS! We loved every minute of that weekend. All we did was hang out with friends, play games (Mafia!), eat tons of food, hang out with the kiddos, and go on walks. That was just about it. Happy Birthday to Nick! Thanks for having a birthday so we could have such a fabulous weekend with all of you!

What a fun cabin! Isn't it fun to get away from real life for awhile and hang out with friends and family? And the boys are SOOO darling! They're getting so big!

Wow you guys have been busy, but I'm so glad to hear it has been fun. WE've experience a little sickness at our house too with the changing weather, but nothing too serious. I love the picture of one of the boys helping Teage in is hour of need. Always good to hear about your family, thanks for keeping me posted.
