Learning Center Fun & Art

Do you ever wonder where time slips away to? I mean really, how does it seem it will never pass when you are anxiously waiting for something but then there are days that seem to disappear before you realize it? We have had busy and fun days the last couple days but I really am wondering where the time went? On Tuesday Mike went and played golf with Ken - a well deserved and over due outing in my opinion - so the boys and I headed over to hang out with Alexis and her boys. We talked about some MOPS stuff (we're doing creative activities together this year and want to make sure we have lots of fun things planned that will go over well) and mostly hung out. The boys had a blast together as always, and Ken and Mike were done early and were home to play with the boys. Apparently, the push car in their backyard was getting lots of speed thanks to the daddies and the boys were both so sad to come inside when it was time to!

Wed. we played at the learning center with Sara & Ethan and also some other friends we knew from church. That was lots of fun. Noah really does enjoy going and it's really nice to see Josh starting to have a good time there as well. He is moving all over and enjoyed watching the older kids and trying to keep up. He likes the cars and the ball area and the mats. We had lunch out with Mike - Noah saw someone with a motorcycle helmet and was very interested in it and the guy's motorcycle. I told Noah when we go and visit back east when he's older (OLDER - not the next visit - older as in he is in booster seat not a carseat!) that he will surely get a chance to take a ride with someone - Grandpa Lucas or Grandpa Taitt or Uncle Mike or now apparently Aunt Chrystal. I had AWANA that night and had to go to Target to get Josh some light weight pjs - he has outgrown his 9 month pjs and we have 12 month pjs but they are all very winter time and too hot. I can't believe he's in 12 mo pjs...he's not very heavy, just getting long.

Today we made a quick trip to the commissary; as soon as we pulled in the parking lot though Noah was crying NO NO NO...he was pretty good considering how the trip started. We then played at the learning center again. Josh was climbing, yes you read that right Josh was climbing up the little mountain of mats they have. Noah had a great time too, both boys enjoyed songs, Noah made it through almost 5 songs - I think that's a record! Then it was home for lunch and chores. Tonight we took dinner to Alexis and Ken - which of course meant a great night for everyone. Simon and Noah had a lot of fun golfing today since they missed out on Tuesday! Noah was so sad to leave. I'm uploading pictures to Kodak and will work on getting videos up tonight too. Mike is out jogging with Kasey and boys are sleeping, but there are so many things that need attention around here and our weekend is going to be super busy. Sorry the posts are fewer and longer between, we are really trying to work on getting time to read and study in the evenings after the boys are in bed and get to bed at a decent time and well, the boys just don't slow down all day!

Oh two side notes - Josh is starting to run a low grade temp again, so we'll have make an appointment tomorrow (I'm sure they will be sick of me by the end of this but oh well, he is so fussy in the afternoon and tugging on both ears still). Noah has his evaluation set up for the 27th too, we'll do a general evaluation on the 27th and then have a multidisciplinary team meeting on the 2nd and go from there (such as if he needs further evaluations from a speech pathologist).
