Where has the time gone?

OK- I know I have not done a good job at keeping the blog up to date. If I could function without sleep, I could do so much more. Anyway, that's not going to happen so I will do the best I can. Here is an update- now I need to get these updates in baby books!! Ahhh!!

Abby- she has been great this summer. Her piano lessons are going wonderfully and she is excelling!!! We do have our moments with practicing, but overall she is amazing. We went school supply shopping the other day (my most favorite thing to do). I can't believe she is going to be in the 1st grade!! She picked out a grown up backpack that I absolutely love (and it was on sale too!!!). She is so excited to go back to school and be in first grade!!! She is swimming a lot better than last year which is great. Hopefully by next summer she will be an awesome swimmer and bike rider. It is difficult trying to do so much!!

Boys- Now the boys!! They are getting so big so fast. Blaine is walking with an average of 5-6 steps, the most being 10!!! Christian is not far behind, with an average of 4 steps. It would not surprise us if Christian starts running before Blaine!!! They both have 6 teeth now!!!! Their fangs are disappearing because the top 2 are starting to come in :( They love chasing each other still!! Blaine makes lots of funny faces while Christian loves to talk and almost scream!!! Christian is our 'worm in hot ashes' while Blaine likes to cuddle. Overall Christian beats up on Blaine, but every once in awhile Blaine stands up for himself against Christian. They love their morning nap at around 11:30am after waking up around 8 or 9!!! Of course they don't go to bed till around 10 but that's OK. They are really GOOD boys and LOVE to PLAY hard.

Us- Ben is still working hard at Village Pharmacy and will stop when I go back August 2nd (which is when Abby starts also). I believe he will have to work part time in the evenings when I go back to work!! Not much time for us, but at least the boys and Abby will be with their dad in the day and mom in the evenings!! We will see how this works. I am definitely not ready to go back to school and have not done a lot!! I will be teaching Ecology and Anatomy only- no Bio!! (at least that is what I knew when I left). I have a lot to do but all I want to do is spend the last of my summer with my family!!! AHHH!!! We will see what happens!!
