Why is it that the summer always goes way too fast, and the winter way too slow? There have been so many fun things to do this summer that we have hardly had time to do the things that we really need to do, like the bathroom in our basement. Who would have thought it would be this much harder to go places with two kids, rather than with just one? We did just get back from Texas though, and had a blast!
Thanks to Kimi, or should I say Kimi's boss, we had an amazing set up! We stayed at a lake house that had more than enough beds for Curt's entire family. With 3 kitchens, 6-7 bathrooms, and a huge game room there was plenty of space for everyone. We were able to go to Sea World, and Six Flags as well. It was a blast, and Braxton is still talking about the "special house". Even Cayden did pretty well considering we were in 100 degree plus weather the whole time. One thing we learned though is that from now on we will not even consider anything but a non-stop flight.
We are now looking forward to going up to Seattle in a week and a half to visit my family. We will see most of my extended family, which is a rare event. None of them have met Cayden so I look forward to showing him off.
Cayden is doing pretty well, although we just had to increase his medication for acid reflux. After doing that he started sleeping more, so thankfully I am finally able to start catching up from the last nine months.
Braxton has started potty training, and is testing my patience. We have tried just about everything to get his to go #2, but are running out of ideas.... so any suggestions would be great!
Curt is working hard both at work and at school. Thankfully he is going at a slower pace, but I think he could use some more time to do homework without kids.
I am basically doing the same old thing. Greg and Sara will be moving soon though which means I only have about another month of watching Lizzie. So now comes the part of looking for someone new. I know that Braxton will miss her, and so a replacement would be good for him. But just as everything else has, I am sure that this will work out also.
