Catching Up!

Ok, so I have said it before and I am going to say it again, I will be better at blogging. I will make it a priority as it is a great way to catalog the events of the kids and to keep track of all those little things that happen that you lose track of after while. So, that being said to all that read this, and I am not sure if there is any outside myself and the grandparents but that is who is for anyway, this post is a catch up post to get back on track.

The family has just returned from a week long trip to Maine to see the family. It was a very adventurous trip up there. Both boys, count them, 2 got car sick multiple times. When we finally arrived in Maine 11 hours later....there was heavy weekend traffic, we opted for baths and showers first. Everything else would have to wait. The car ride home was a lot more uneventful and low key, just the way I like it. The time there was wonderful. It is always good to see mom and dad and to let the grandparents and aunt Julie dote on the boys. They had a great time. We spent one day at the beach, Damriscotta lake beach (my favorite) is wonderful due to its warm water and shallowness, you walk forever before it even reaches your waist. Plus it is not a huge beach so you can keep track of the little ones! The boys had fun in the sand and surf until it rained, yuck, it did rain a lot in Maine while were there. I do not remember that much rain in the past.

Jack celebrated his third birthday in Maine this year. We spent the morning playing at Clifford with Ruth and her two boys. It was so much fun! I do miss old friends and it was neat to see Jack and Josiah carry on like they were old buddies. Oh to be three again!

While we were in Maine Jack and I went to the hospital to visit Aunt Brenda. We had to take the elevator up to the second floor to find her. On the way back down Jack told the nurse that we had to take the Alligator. How cute is that? Later when we were visiting her and the boys at her house he went for a ride with God (Todd) in his Mustang. Did he love that! Jack loves cars, trucks, tractors and all driving related transportation but how many people can say that they drove around Bayville in a red Mustang with God?!

Today the boys went for their yearly checkups. All is well. Jack is in the 50% across the boards while Charlie is in the upper end across the boards. They are growing fast and right on track! The only downside to the visit was that Charlie has another ear infection and he had to have 3 shots. Yuck! The shots do not get any better for me or Charlie. He has been sleeping since 12. Poor Baby they wiped him out.

Well, in a nutshell I think that keeps everyone up to date with where we are right now and where we are going. I will continue to try to keep this thing updated on a more regular and dare I say it, daily basis.
