I'm a Slacker!

                                      

It's been almost a month since I posted any blogs. My goal was to update it once a week...what a slacker I am! 

We've been really busy. There's just not a lot of free time between working, taking care of three boys, and making sure the house is still standing and there's at least some food in it. 

I'm really enjoying being back at my job at Wilford Hall. I never thought I would say such things, but I enjoy working with the people there. And I especially enjoy being back in my specialty of oncology. Plus it's really nice being a civilian instead of military. It's a lot better. I'm not getting called into work at the last minute! I'm working nights right now, which I'm actually enjoying...another thing I never thought I would say. But I get to see the boys more on days when I work. I get up from sleeping and pick them up from Rosemary's and have a couple hours to spend with them/eat dinner with them before I go to work. Plus I have some free time at work (there's nothing to do between midnight and 4 am) to finish a quilt that I am cross-stitching for Logan.

We went to Baton Rouge a few weeks ago for a family reunion. It was really nice to see Papa and Grandma Carol and spend time with family. The family reunion went well and Taylor gained the nickname of 'cookie monster'. He made his way to the food table and stole a cookie while we were fixing plates. He threw a fit when we took it away and refused to eat anything. When Bryan let him go to the table he ran straight back to the cookies to get another one. We finally did convince him to eat. Both him and Clark would only eat Uncle Carl's Jambalaya though...which is okay by me! We went to the zoo. Clark and Taylor love Giraffe's right now. They got to feed the fish. Well, they were supposed to feed the fish, but I think the turtles have taken over the fish feeding area. You can see in the picture below all the turtles. Clark thought it might be a good idea to sit down and reach his hand through the fence to pet one. Luckily we caught him in time. The turtle closest to him was a snapping turtle. That would've hurt! We also rode the train before leaving the zoo. You can see all of us (Logan stayed home with Grandma) in the picture below. Aunt Karen, Cydney, and Jace. Saturday night we went swimming at my brother's house. At first neither one of them wanted to leave the steps, but we got them out and eventually Taylor wouldn't get out of the pool. He had another temper tantrum when Bryan made him get out. The 'terrible two's' are going very smoothly in our household!:)

Logan enjoyed the pool as well, but didn't last very long before he got cold. He is happy-go-lucky as usual. He is starting to learn to crawl. He gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. He's figured out how to move his knees and hands, but not in any coordination to help him get anywhere. He has mastered getting to a sitting position on his own and enjoys watching his brothers from  his  new vantage point. The only problem is that he thinks he needs to practice both of these things...even in his crib when he should be sleeping!

The last picture is Clark and Taylor snuggling with daddy while they finish their milk before going 'night-night'. It was just a cute moment to catch!

  

P.S. yes we know...we need more pictures of Logan! We're working on that!
