Finally a new update!

I know, I know I'm finally getting around to updating this. A lot has been going on over the past month, I don't even know where to begin!

First I should say that I havn't had the time to update this or much of anything else lately now that Jack has decided to NOT nap! I try every day and at least give him some "quiet" time in his room, but very rarely will he fall asleep. If it's nice then we'll go for a walk, and of course he falls asleep then! It's frustrating and exhausting but just something else I need to adjust to.

Another thing I need to adjust to is Patrick crawling! Yup at almost 8 months he is officially crawling. I have some video I am uploading now so will post that when it is done. I forgot what it was like to have to constantly watch and pick up and move him, all the time! Jack and Patrick "play" together and laugh and is so fun to watch. I have video of Jack making Patrick laugh and will post that soon too. Patrick loves to laugh and loves the camera! You can see in every picture of him he's always smiling.

Last weekend Mike's mom Debbie and Frank came to watch the boys over night while we had a "date night". We stayed at a hotel downtown and went to dinner and actually got to sleep in! It was so nice and we are so thankful to them for doing that for us. They had a great time with the boys and really tired them out! Mike took Jack to a hockey game, which he loved. He still keeps saying: Fun, hockey :)

This weekend is the Irish Festival so that will be fun. I made the usual corned beef and cabbage for St. Patty's day and even went all out and made Jack green shamrock pancakes . But of course forgot to get pictures of that. Next year....

One last thing, tomorrow Patrick has his appt. with the Hematology to get tested with the DDAVP. This will be a looong appt. I'm not looking forward to it, we'll be there for about 3 hours! Thankfully my friend is watching Jack. Hopefully he'll do fine and will post the results when we get them in a week or 2.

Enjoy the pictures! Check back in a day or 2 and I'll have the links to the videos.
