And here we GO

Julia went back to NJ on Saturday.

Chris went back to work today.

Thankfully Valerie flies into town tomorrow. It's pretty difficult handling two kids. No joke! But we remind ourselves (well, let's be honest--Chris reminds me) that we need to focus on the good parts of the day.

Cate is mellow, but not as much as Liz was. When she's cranky, she lets you know it!

Liz is into kicking, hitting, biting, all that delightful stuff. Chris and I realized that she picked up most of that from nursery, of all places. Makes me not want to drop her off there on Sundays, but what are you going to do?

Everyone has told us that this stage gets better. I'm thankful for that, yes, but what I would like to know is WHEN it will get better. I want to know! haha


Our good parts of the week:
Breaking out the double stroller

Fun at the pool!

First sponge bath at home

Sleep time

Late nite convo

Using the floaties at the pool

Loves the boppy pillow

At the zoo!

HOT that day

First Sunday at church



Well Liz has just climbed onto the table and is pouring out the salt and pepper shakers--talk to you later!

Wow, life is sounding pretty hectic. But Chris is right - focus on the good moments! Sounds like you guys have had some great ones. And Cate is looking so cute, love the dress! :) Keep it up, Mary, you can do it!

It DOES get better!!! trust me... logan got a cookie sheet to the head at about 8 weeks old and he's still kicking! they go thru stages and some are far better than others. whenever ethan started pressing my buttons when logan was a newborn, id throw him in the tub and he loved that. you could try that. good luck, you CAN do it!!
