I FINALLY finished Logan's first year scrapbook! I don't feel too bad that it's taken so long since I know many people don't get it done at all, so I think getting two done in 19 months is pretty good. :)
It has been busy, busy, busy over here. Here are some of the highlights: Saturday we went to an open house for one of Mike's cousins, and another one of his cousin's brought their puppies. Of course the boys LOVED them! We had to keep an eye on Caleb, especially, to make sure he didn't manhandle them too much, but they did pretty well. I did get some pics on my phone, someday I'll have to get them off of there... Certainly I enjoyed watching the boys have fun with the puppies, and the idea of snuggling with a little fur ball seems kinda nice, but I was not tempted in the least to take one home. Now is NOT the time to deal with a new puppy (nothing better happen to either of our dogs for a long time!).
Sunday night the whole Steenwyk family was together! Some members dragged their feet a bit, but we had a mini photo session. It ended up being kinda fun (at least I thought so), even though it was quite warm and I had to run into every shot.
Tuesday morning we met my sister, sister-in-law, and kids at the park for some playtime. It was HOT. We didn't last very long. We all went to McDonald's for lunch, and I had fun watching Caleb feed fries to Logan. It was pretty cute. :)
Tuesday night was dinner out with my parents and sibs! Often when my sister is in town we try to have an adult night with no kids, but it doesn't always happen. It was alot of fun despite ending up at a different restaurant than we intended, and I definitely ate too much.
Wednesday morning I had a photo session with my nephew - he did great! And, I showed my sister and her fam around Mike's work a little bit. He was too busy to really stop and chat (it's that time of year!), but they got to see him and what he does.
This morning was a playdate with my twin mom's group. Another hot one. But it was fun to see some of the girls and their kids!
Mike's packing shed started running on Monday. There have been some hiccups and he's generally running around like crazy, but I think they're getting into a groove.
The boys have been learning lots of new words, I love it. Some of my favorites are: "moon" (I didn't even know they knew this, then one day they're pointing at the sky and saying "moon"); and "bapple" ("apple"). Also, it looks like Logan is going to be our pretender. A few weeks ago he was playing with an animal cracker at the table, it fell over, and he said, "uh-oh baby". So cute! Often with pieces of food or toys he'll play and kind of talk in a funny voice.
Parenting two toddlers is exhausting, but just so much fun, too. :)
