Happy to be home!

I woke up on Wednesday already missing Barrett but so happy to be back with my babies... and Gigi stayed in town one extra day! It was so fun to get to have a visit with her too!

Wednesday morning, Gigi got the boys dressed, and I got to see their new matching aviator jackets from Capi and Gigi! OMG! I can't stand how cute they look! Here they are at SDDS as we were dropping LJ off for the day.







Then Gigi, Evan and I headed to the mall for a balloon and shopping! Evan is getting pretty demanding about his balloon!

The best entertainment!

We had LJ's school Christmas party today too. It was so cute - the whole thing! I will do a separate post for that....

Dinner time!

Actually- dessert! Gigi is in town so they got ice cream for dessert! Happy boys!

After the boys were asleep, Gigi and I attempting some bread baking! Not our most successful endeavor, but I realize now my baking powder was expired! At least we got quality time together- and a good laugh!

LJ saying goodbye to Gigi as we drop him off at WHPP school... he was already busy in the sand table but willing to give Gigi a big hug and kiss goodbye!

And then we had one last shopping errand before heading to the airport! Evan was enjoying his silly Gigi!
Thank you SO SO much for all your time (and work) here Gigi! We miss you already!

The first thing LJ said when I picked him up from school was, "Well, did Gigi already go back home?" I said yes, and he said, "But don't worry Mom because she will be back soon, Okay?" Haha! We have learned if she just says goodbye and tells him when she is coming back, he handles it much better (compared to the tears I was getting for a while!).

Home in time to play for a few minutes before nap. I got the boys these window stickers (a nativity scene and gingerbread house), and they love them! They rearrange the stickers and keeps them busy for a while!








And Gigi left a parting gift... She bought LJ several ornaments while she was here, and he had one more new one to open....

He was so excited to took it all the way to the couch and sat down to open it!


An airplane!!! He loves it!
Evan wanted in on the action too!

Post nap, I got LJ to help me attempt to make bread again. He was a fabulous helper!!



Then Uncle Joe stopped by... LJ was so excited to watch videos with him!



Bedtime... both these boys LOVE their books!  And thanks to the Benzons, we have a new book to open every time before bedtime! It's so fun!
Little trouble makers climbing on the train table (Evan started this btw!).

So happy to be home with my precious boys!

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress... Ellie's first little mini-crawls: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xm3GTgjZXbU And she has mastered the roll-to-sit move! Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0cmXfOE3GrA Five days of crawling... she is so obsessed with the t...

Mother's Day Celebrations

What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
