Remiss

I have definitely been remiss in my blogging as of the past two months.  It has been complete chaos around here!  We have really adjusted well to having 3 young boys around the house!  We have been fighting off one bug or another since we have been home, but are doing so much better!

So, to talk about the family - the boys are amazing!  All three of them.  Mason adores his little brothers!  He hugs and kisses them all the time.  Knocks them over to give them hugs quite a bit.  He also loves to wrestle with them as well and they have figured it out.  They are all doing so well.  Sieber is walking all over, running (or at least trying to) at times.  He has gained weight, but is still small!   He is trying to communicate.  You can tell that he wants to talk and tell us things, but can't.  I look forward to when he can tell us what he wants.  He is our impatient one also.  When he is ready to eat, he has no patience to wait for you, you must provide food NOW!!!  It's kind of comical.  He also absolutely adores the dog.  Can't seem to get enough of the mutt!   Justus is not walking yet, he crawls everywhere and is definitely a mama's boy.  He is trying to walk and has taken a step.  He is a beast!  I would love to be able to weight him and see where he is at, but it is at least 26lbs if not more!  we call him Chewie.  He doesn't really cry and scream, he moans and makes weird noises that sound like Chubaca (forgive the spelling) from Star Wars.  Too funny!  He is pretty laid back though, which is great!

They are just absolutely wonderful, and I have promised myself (and my mother, who will hold me accountable) to keep this blog updated.  We live apart from numerous family members and I am trying my best to get better at updating the blog to help keep them updated on our family and the boys.

I am enjoying staying home with the boys and Dan is doing great at work!  He loves working as a mechanic!  He is definitely in his element.  They are getting super busy already for the summer rush.  Dan is starting to work longer hours and starting to work Saturdays as well.  His boss is great.  Dan gets to eat lunch with his family every day - there will be the opportunity for me and the kids to join them as well.  Mason adores their little girl Karly.  I am enjoying staying at home.  It has been a huge transition for me!  I mean HUGE!  I have worked for so long out of the home, that being here all the time is so different.  The kids keep me busy!  Also, there is endless laundry, and dishes, and cleaning, and sweeping  It's hard!  I am definitely getting better at it.  I have never been the best housekeeper (any roommate I have had will attest to that - gladly I am sure), but I have learned to love to do the dishes and keep the kitchen clean.  I am working on a system to keep up with the laundry so it doesn't become such a huge project.  I am trying to deep clean things, organize things, and simplify things. It has been a good challenge for me.  I found and ave started working through the book - 31 Day to Clean, Having a Martha house the Mary Way.  It has been interesting to read and has been challenging at the same time.  It's been good and very helpful for me. 

Well, It is 10 and I need to head to bed so I am ready for a new day tomorrow!  I will post more soon!!!

Enjoy the pictures!!!
