Our first week back to "normal" was better than I expected. We were all ready to get back to a more predictable routine, so I think everyone appreciated it instead of fighting against it.
The gym, learning, chores, and predictable evenings were all welcomed back. All the new gifts were part of our entertainment too.
To Ivan's delight, his older brothers are including him a lot more in their play. He was in heaven being pushed around by Si.
Isn't this a delightful picture? They were helping me make a snack-granola. I'm trying to train them early when they are still excited about helping.
One of my favorite parts of our day comes right after lunch. We set a timer for 15 minutes and everyone reads - including Mom - their own book!! Here's Ivan even participating in the fun.
On Friday, we packed our bags to head to Grammy and Gramps house. They offered to watch the boys so that Jason and I could have a date night to celebrate my birthday. We celebrated first with lunch out at Subway!
After dropping them off, I drove back just in time to shower and get ready to go out with this guy. We hit up one of our favorites - the Kinaree. And somebody got adventurous and tried mussels. We also learned that our spice level is only a 2, not a 3-which both of us ordered.
The next afternoon, we headed back to Kansas and celebrated my birthday with the whole family. I got this wonderful surprise at the end of the meal.
"29" It's the year of living it up! And then I remember I'm going to have a baby in 4 months. Maybe I'll live up next year!
I sure am blessed with these sweet boys. The Lord knew I needed good ones if I was going to have 4 of them!
