So, I am almost a month behind on updates, maybe because we've been busy with fun events :)
I am too tired to catch up on all the pics, bear with me the next few nights and you will be updated.
Here's some of my fav memories of the past days that have been wonderful ~
~the weather is gorgeous!
~biking with the kids yesterday to Lake Nokomis - beautiful weather - playing at the "beach park", the kids sitting back to back in the baby swing, biking back and Elise singing songs to Patrick, including "if you're happy and you know it stomp your feet" and the 2 of them stomping their feet in the Burley AND I got 1 1/2 hrs of exercise too. Then we went by another park and Elise asked if we could "go there next time on Sunday?" When I told her we could go now she was SO excited and acted as if I gave her a puppy for Christmas.
~Patrick getting more and more confident with walking, Yes he's walking (be patient, you'll get the update soon).
~Elise and Patrick going down slides together :)
~Patrick playing on the toddler sections at the park by himself and going down the slides ALONE!
~Elise on the trapeze at Gleason's open gymnastics gym yesterday for the first time - gymnast in training? :) Patrick sitting and jumping on the trampoline and sitting next to the teacher while he taught, like he was his assistant :)
~That I have gotten back into Yoga again - LOVE IT - and that one day a week I take the kids to 2 hr childcare at the club, that they love it and Elise calls with "class" and has to wear a backpack and makes new friends (their names she "can't bemember") and thinks she's hot stuff and a big girl
~When I changed in the changing room today to try on yoga tops and Patrick saw me naked in the mirror and flipped out because he "wanted to eat" - a bit harder to wean him than Elise, I will be done within a month.
~Elise running 100' down Target towards my parents yelling "Gaaaaammmma, B-Bob" - smiles all around. :)
~Elise drawing with chalk, Gamma Gamma's car, Daddy's car (didn't look like cars), a picture of Greg and I, again didn't look like us at all, but "our heads" had a straight line across it and she was concerned that we had feet and eyes, belly button, and a smiley face :) went below the line.
~That tonight Patrick was fussing after going to bed (not typical for him) and Elise decided to get him a bottle, the Boppy, sit in the rocking chair in his room, rock him and rub his head while feeding him saying "you are a sweet sweet boy". I teared up, so flipping cute!!!
~That within the past month I feel like I can breathe and TRULY enjoy the kids, they are so fun and we are so proud to be their parents! It's starting to "get easy", which is when we decided to "make Patrick" when Elise "got easy". However, it's kinda freeing that we are waiting a year and simply enjoying our 2 kids before deciding about another one (which God willing will happen NEXT year).
