For anyone out there who still checks this...we're still alive and well. I just haven't had any time or energy to update. With working full-time and three boys in the terrible twos and horrendous threes, there just isn't a day off and not much if any free-time. I continue working with cancer patients at the Air Force hospital, but as soon as Bryan graduates I plan on cutting back to part-time...I can't wait. I spoke with my boss and she doesn't know if she can give me part-time hours though. So I may be job hunting in the near future so that I can only work part-time. No way is it going to work trying to juggle two full-time shift workers and child-care....not that I even want to try. Bryan has started working in the ER at one of the hospitals here as a nurse extern. Which means he works with an RN and they let him do as much as he can. So he's started to get some good experience with skills and really enjoys the ER...may even already have a job lined up there when he's done with school. He works one 12 hour shift every Saturday night. So the weekends have become kinda crazy around here....and I get to go grocery shopping with three little guys by myself. It's the highlight of my week...well no, not really.
The boys are getting so big. Clark and Taylor come up some great stories and are always pretend-playing. And their conversational skills are improving everyday. It's funny to see things from a 3 year-old perspective. Yesterday in the car I was explaining to them that the missionaries would be coming over to dinner next week. Taylor said: "Mommy, I like the missionaries", I said: "Why is that?". Taylor: "Because they make food and eat with us and I like to talk to them." Then Clark said: "I don't like those missionaries". And I asked him why not, he said: "Because Taylor likes them, so I don't". I guess he wants to start distinguishing himself from his twin brother already! A lot of their arguments are when the disagree about something and they think they should both have the same opinion. They are in Sunbeams now. Taylor is having a hard time adjusting/sitting still and his teacher has had to bring him out a couple of times. I think they're favorite part is singing-time. They are always singing first thing in the morning when they wake up and in the car.
Logan is a handful. I would say he's getting big...but he's not so big. At his two-year well-baby appointment he weighed in at 25 lbs and is 34 in. He's in the 10th percentile for weight and the 25% for height. He's a little guy...which doesn't make any sense, since he eats more than his brothers most times. Abuela thinks he just has a really high metabolism....and as much as he's always on the move, I have to agree. The kid never stops and sits still and when he does, you know something is wrong with him. He is almost completely potty trained. He wears pull-ups at night and for naps, but otherwise he's always in underwear. His vocabulary is still improving and he's starting to put 2-3 word sentences together. Unfortunately his favorite words are "NO" and "Mine". If only I could erase those two!
