I know I said a loooong time ago that I would never ever sew another bag again. Well...there's been so many cute bags popping up on the internet. I may or may not have joined the bandwagon :) I made this bag for Patrick's teacher. There are three more in the works for Benjamin's teacher and Andrew's therapist. Have I said that I love those ladies?? They have been with us now for a year and a half. I'm sure going to miss them!! On topic though, I love this bag. I'm going to have to make myself one. Not quite sure what I will use it for but hey, it's cute! :)

Pure Crazy

It has been so crazy around here lately. Both Benjamin and Patrick have been playing baseball. That is definitely keeping us on our toes. We are on a field somewhere ateast 3 nights a week, lol. It has been fun. There's nothing better than seeing their little faces when they make those home runs or when they happen to be paying attention in the outfield and manage to catch the ball.

Andrew has been a trooper during all this running around. He has made such amazing progress with his speech. I know its still hard for people who aren't around him all the time to understand him but he sure has come a long way. The other day he was playing with Patrick and I heard him say "one, two, go" that was the beat sound ever. He is finally putting more than 2 words together. He will say mom hold me please. He will just melt your heart now. I took a lot for granted with my older 2. You don't really get how truly important every little milestone is until your child is delayed. Andrew is catching up finally. Slowly but surely.

I've been getting rid of the baby stuff I have. It's time to close that chapter in our lives. I need to have a yardsale soon and get ready for our move. There's only 6 weeks left! Woohoo! I finally got around to going to the doctor for my hip. I guess I really did mess myself up when I fell on the ice. They did some xrays and I get to go to physical therapy. Sounds great doesn't it? Ugh its going to be painful. At least it should get better now.....hopefully.

The kids get out of school next week. Benjamin isn't too thrilled. He doesn't want to leave his frienda but he's excited about being closer to grandma. I'm going to have to find some stuff to do with them during the day. Lol. I have a feeling the boredom will set in quickly.

Crazy Wedding Week

I think I am just now recovering from our trip to Virginia we made two weeks ago. We were only able to go home for 7 days. That makes for a crazy trip, lol. My sister-in-law was getting married so it was worth it to make the trip. Not to mention my brother-in-law was graduating from basic training and it was Easter. I told you it was crazy, right? The wedding was beautiful. Their first official "date" was our wedding 7 years ago. I feel like I've watched her grow up and now she's married off. Time is whizzing by. Benjamin and Patrick got to be ring bearers. They were so excited they got to be in the wedding! We cleaned up pretty nice.
Easter was great! It was so nice to see the kids get to do the Easter traditions with family. They dyed eggs at Granny's house. They got to have an Easter egg hunt with all their cousins. It was just a great day after the crazy week they had.

The trip home was miserable. Our flight got cancelled due to bad weather. We had to stay overnight in a hotel near the airport. Thankfully we made it to El Paso the next day. The last flight was very bumpy, yuck! I don't like to fly. It's convenient so I do it, but I would much rather drive.
