The everyday grind

Now that Joseph is in school full time, it's been interesting trying to figure out our new routine. Maddie is really excited about being back at "school" this year, and her new backpack and lunchbag make it that much better. 


Joseph's school lets families come eat lunch anytime, so Jack and I visited once during the first full week of school. Joseph got a big kick out of having us there and showing us how he gets his lunch. He is loving ordering the hot lunch options and hasn't let me pack him a lunch since the first day of school!


Jack is getting bigger and stronger by the day. He is still settling into a routine, which is hard enough when he's constantly carted around. Luckily he's a super happy baby almost all of the time. 

There's definitely a similarity between Joseph and Jack! It's a good thing they have different eye colors or it would be even harder to tell them apart. 
Nap and bedtime snuggles are even more fun. Jack loves to hang out in between the big kids. They keep waiting for the day when he can move into their room. :)

Last weekend Joe had a work conference in Atlanta. Jack and I flew down on Saturday and spent a long weekend vacationing. While we didn't do anything too crazy and didn't stay out late, we had a great time checking out the area, doing some shopping and enjoying some awesome food. 



Jack enjoyed his tasty toes as he celebrated his four month birthday. 
We had hoped to leave him home with my parents, but his night sleeping has regressed a lot during the last few weeks. I'm lucky to get a 5 hour stretch out of him now. So since we didn't want my parents having to get up multiple times at night, he got to come along. I think he loved all of the undivided attention and was generally his super laid back, happy self everywhere we went. 

Jack is rolling from back to belly a lot now. We have to watch him more now after bath time when we are getting him dressed. On Friday we had the Royals game on, and he was fascinated. Good sign, kid! 

I could just eat him up! Such a cutie!

Yesterday Maddie took a trial dance class. It is super small, and took her a bit to warm up but by the end she was loving it. I think we will probably sign her up and see how it goes. 




So that's life in a nutshell. Hopefully I'll get us on some schedule soon that allows me enough time to play with the kids, exercise, work and keep the house going. Along with all of the other little projects that pop up.
