Hey everyone. I just wanted to get another post in before things get hectic, as I anticipate they will, quite possibly starting this weekend. My goal is to post more often as well, since it seems I haven't been managing even one post on average a week, the goal will be blogging a couple of times each week. No promises yet, but we'll see how it goes though.First off I also forgot to mention that last week I went to my end of the year lunch @ The Outback with my Lunch Buddy. I go to see her once a week and have lunch and play on the playground with her. I really enjoy it and am happy that she does too. This was my 3rd year doing it. I hope to continue it next year with the same student. It is a purely volunteer based program that helps grade school age children that maybe need an outside source to talk with, or just hang out with and mainly be able to rely on. I thoroughly enjoy the time we spend together it is a great time for me to give back and also be a kid all over again!
As for this week it has just flown by. I can't believe it is already Thursday. Darren's job keeps him working until 10:30pm some nights, so me and the babies have barely gotten to see him at all this week. The nice thing about his job is they are very willing to give him overtime if he wants it, but are flexible enough for the upcoming time off he will need, as well as keeping his Tuesday work load lighter so he can make it to his softball commitment. We aren't used to not seeing each other for days on end, but with the trips we plan to take soon it won't be too long before we get some quality time together, thank goodness.
I think it is probably hardest on Braeden since the more time I spend with Brooklynd in my arms, the more he wants my attention. Luckily he doesn't get angry or too upset about it, he just hangs on me, which I adore. He is such a lovey baby. Braeden just loves this time of year because at daycare he gets to spend a lot of his day outside. He plays so hard, when I pick him up he is all red and sweating from being out in the heat. You'd think he would be exhausted, but he pushes on. It is sometimes even a challenge, to say the least, to get him in the car to go home. I swear that boy would live outside if he could.
Brooklynd is growing up so fast, right before my eyes. He will be 4 months old on Saturday, I can't even believe it. He is so precious. He recognizes Braeden and smiles at him when he sees him. Their interaction is so priceless. Braeden is definitely always trying to lend a helping hand, giving me or Brooklynd his blanket, binky, toy etc. all of the time.
The heat has been a bit hard on both of the boys bed times. I think Braeden gets a bit confused since it is still light out when he is settling down to go to bed. That along with how hot it is can make bedtime a bit more difficult then it usually is. Luckily Braeden has always gone to bed so well for us that I can tell when things are bothering him. As for Brooklynd sleepy time, he has been getting up at between 3am or 4am the past few nights. Luckily a "binky" seems to calm him, but I am not sure what's really going on. I know that children's sleeping patterns can change from time to time, but I don't know if that is it or if it's something else. With the heat lately our house has been staying fairly warm at night, this may contribute to the sudden change. We have been covering him with a light weight blanket just draped over him, where as he is used to being wrapped so tightly I think this may be the main culprit. I hope it doesn't continue or we will need to figure out what to do since the Summer weather is just beginning and the heat will be around for quite a while.
This weekend, we will be fairly busy. Darren is thinking of working on Saturday. The same day I have a class reunion meeting I was asked to attend on Saturday morning & Terra's bridal shower is later that afternoon. She gets into town Saturday afternoon I believe and will be here through next weekend, flying out on the morning of the 29th. We are so excited to see her. She has yet to meet Brooklynd, so that will be very exciting. She has tons of stuff to do while she is here cake testing, meeting the minister, all of the last minute wedding details. Trista & I are hoping she will be able to go camping with us & some of our friends for Memorial Day weekend, it has been years since we all 3 have been camping together, should be lots of fun fun! We will definitely miss Ryan, but will get to see him soon as well.
That is all for now. Have a great evening! Loves.
