I know, I know...it's been awhile.
It's not that we haven't had milestones and events to write about, but I've been a little busy adjusting to life as a working mom--to life as a working mom who is a teacher. Thankfully we have come along way since that first awful, awful (can I say awful again) week of conferences and parents. So I'll do a quick update below and then promise to get back to writing on a regular basis.
*We celebrated LJ's 3 month birthday with a trip to the Mall of America's Sea Life with his cousins. We will not be going back anytime soon. Not because we didn't enjoy it, but because of the tire explosion that had me convinced we were going to die a slow, painful death in water surrounded by sharks.
*JLO got out on the river for some spring fishing...and hasn't gone out since. We will blame the weather, not our lifestyle, for that.
*We successfully took LJ on his first road trip to WI to visit JLO's family. The way there was a little rough with a seven hour car ride because of construction, but once we arrived we enjoyed spending time with all of our nieces/nephew and catching up with JLO's extended family. They were kind enough to throw a "Meet Lance" party and showered us with wonderful gifts for LJ to enjoy.
*LJ loves, loves, loves going to Grandma's house every day while mommy and daddy are at work. LJ often tells me how good Grandma is at her job of caring for him. We are so lucky!
*The last milestone I will write is one that every new parent dreams for: more sleep. Once we took away the morning bottle, LJ has started to sleep straight through the night. It is so refreshing to get a full night of sleep, but it is also an odd feeling knowing that that chapter in our lives is already over.
Oh and one more thing: there are only 25 more days of school left. But who is counting?
