Happenings

We have now been home from Jamaica for 1 week. My poor munchkins are still making adjustments. I knew they would have adjustments to make while they were staying at my parents, but I didn't expect that they would have to make them again when we got home. While they were at my parents, they had a really hard time sleeping at night. We are now struggling with getting the kids to sleep at night and then keeping them asleep. I am hopeful that over the next couple of days they will start to understand that Mommy isn't going anywhere and that I will be there when they wake up in the morning!!



The kids are really changing!!!! I am constantly amazed by the things they are doing and the things they are saying. They both love to play outside, take walks in their "buggy" (which is the wagon or the stroller), play in the dirt, play with the water hose, watch Cars-the movie.......the list of things they love to do can go on and on!!! Isabel has learned that she can climb and sit on the coffee table or her kitchen-I guess that is why she has bruises all over her legs!!! Garrett is turning into a little boy and not my baby. He tells you what he likes and what he doesn't like, what he wants to do or doesn't want to do, where he want to go, what he wants you to do... I am amazed every day with the things the kids say. Isabel talks so much more than Garrett did at her age, I guess she is following his lead and wants to say everything that he says.



We took the kids to the zoo last Friday. They loved the animals. I think Garrett enjoyed being able to see real animals instead of the ones in the books that we read. He made animal noises as he saw the different animals, it was so darn cute!! We also took the kids to the Nature Center to walk, for those of you that live around us...I recommend that you stay on the paved trails if you have a stroller!!! Joel and I ended up carrying the kids and carrying the double stroller!!!



Joel and I both went back to work on Monday. It was really hard for me to leave the kids after spending 4 whole days with them!! I am also having a hard time getting back in the groove of things at work. I guess that is the nature of the beast when you go on vacation. I am wishing that we were back in Montego Bay soaking up the sun----with the kids!!! I don't think I could ever leave them again!! All of our vacations from here on out will have to be family vacations, at least until they are in college!!!!



That is what has been going on with us....what is going on in your world??
