WOW how time flies. It has been a month since my last post and we have done so much since then. The boys are now 18 month old and changing so much each and everyday. They love to walk around the house and get into everything. They like playing in the playyard but it is getting harder and harder to get them to stay in their for very long (just enough time to take a shower). The new thing is pushing things across the floor whether it be a box or a chair it moves. Jared is very good about sharing with Joshua. If Josh leaves his cup somewhere Jared will pick it up and give it to him (whether he wants it or not). They are becoming very loving toward each other but also very boyish. They will hug and kiss one minute and then they are hitting or biting each other the next. I guess it is the age. All and all they are doing well. We tired to get their pictures done last week but they got sick so we will try again this week.
My Dad and sister came to visit the end of July for a long weekend. While they were here we went to the Zoo. The boys loved the animals. We had a BBQ and the boys went to bed for the 1st time with no nighttime bottle (YEAH!!!) and a month later they still don't need one. They get a large cup of milk after dinner and it takes them until bed to drink it since they don't sit still anymore.
We were all on vacation for the rest of the week so we went to Dutch Wonderland with Aunt Cailtyn. The boys loved Dutch Wonderland because there was so much that they could do alone and then with an adult. They rode on little trains that Dave and I pushed around a track, they rode on bulldozers all by themselves. Dave and I took them on big cars and Aunt Caitlyn took them on Monster trucks. It was a nice cool day and we all had a good time.
The day before we were suppose to go back to work I was at the Doctors with Jared, he had a bacteria infection that lead to a really high fever. Antiboitics it was and he was fine. The boys stayed home with Daddy on Friday and I came home early. Josh was next but he waited until Tuesday to spike a fever. Antiboitics for him and a very hectic week of leaving work early and then staying home 1 day. Thank God we are getting better and showing no signs of being sick anymore.
Summer is almost over. We have 4 days of school this week and then it is September and school officially starts. Josh and Jared's schedule won't change that much, a new room and teacher but that is about it. My schedule however changes quite a bit. No more playing all day. I have spent the past week reorganizing my room and making it my own. I am really excited to start teaching again. As I have started to plan I have realized just how much I have missed it. Granted if it were possible to still be at home and get to play with Joshua and Jared all day that is where I would be but teaching is the next best thing. Enjoy your last weekends of summer, I know we will.
