Hello!

We are still here! I feel like this past month has just gone by in a flash! We celebrated Dan's 30th birthday with the solv's and our friends. He should feel super special while the kids really cared about the balloons and cake.

Jed is inching to 1 year old! I can't believe it! I am still only half way done with his baby book@ He is just a sweet child. Loves and adores his brother...they love wrestling and playing rough. I was cleaning their room one day and those two chased each other crawling back and forth. Jed was laughing so hard I had to tell Isaac to give him a break so he can breath! Jed now has 6 teeth and is one stubborn child. When he doesn't want something, there is NOTHING you can do to make him, especially with eating. When he is done and give you the sign, his lips are sealed tight! I wish he would cuddle a bit more, he doesn't like to be still and is constantly on the move otherwise, I would find him pulling down on my pots of eating my phonebook.

Isaac on the other hand is going through some potty training. I send him home with my mom and she basically had him trained!. He is doing okay since we've been home not close to 100%, but now he can pee in the toilet standing up and is wearing a pull-up. Probably about 50% wet and 50% going to the pot. He still loves his story time and after pre-bedtime chats. The other day, I had a rough day with him and was finding myself yelling more than usual. At our nightly talks, I apologize and told him that his behavior for not listening makes Mommy sad. I knew he understood because he told dan what we talked about when dan came down. At the end of Isaac telling dan about our conversation he goes, "mommy is a good mommy." That really warmed my heart, because I knew he understood.

So what have we been up to? I'm putting up some of our half marathon photos and our trip to DC without kids. I had a hard time. I missed them a lot, but Dan and I also had a great time reconnecting and hanging out. I think he was kinds of sick of me going "I wonder what the kids are doing?" I got to visit my girlfriend, Ditty...my oldest as in she is one of the few people who knows me the longest since Jr. high. My parent and sister, brother-in-law visited. It was a great time hanging out and chilling. I would trust my sister with my kids any day!
