It has been a busy month! Brian and I took our first trip away from the kids since Pierce was born in early Feb -to beautiful Jamiaca. It was amazing - beautiful weather, no schedule and time to enjoy each other, relax and soak up the sun - much needed after the extra deary winter we have had. It has been probably 5 or more years since we have been on an adult beach vacation without family and even longer with just the 2 of us and we truly enjoyed every second -Brian went diving twice, I finished 2 books, we had oceanfront massages and lots of wonderful meals. It will definately not be 5 years before we plan another beach trip! I have been double spoiled this month also enjoying a girls only weekend to The Grove Park last weekend- I went with my good friends betsy, lara, rachel and jamie and we had a great time catching up, laughing, and relaxing in the beautiful mountains of Asheville. In addition to a little traveling we have been overwhelmed with preschool decisions and plans for next year for the boys - visiting 8 in the last 2 months! Connor has started Little Gym and LOVES it - although he does not like it referred to as little gym but prefers big gym, he is talking more and more everyday, can know sing his ABC's, knows all his shapes, most of his numbers 1-10 and shows his personality daily. the other day Brian came home from a long run (he is marathon training) and was stretching on the floor -obviously sweaty -Connor said "wew Daddy wet -needs dry" and ran off only to come bounding down the hall with the toilet paper trailing behind him to "dry" daddy off. Pierce just had his 6 month check up, has 2 teeth and almost 2 more, he laughs & giggles all day, He is almost sitting up alone and Loves the Johnny Jump up!! He is eating all kinds of fruits, veggies and grains and is chunking up - 16 Lb at his appointment, -Unfortuntely along with his 6 month check up came his first sickness - He has had RSV for the last week now into an ear infection -:( Connor and myself have had minor colds as well - I included a few pictures of the kids camping out in our "tent" trying to find some fun in staying home again today! have a great week
