It's been a little hectic since Drew started school. We had to quickly snap into a routine for the first time in over a year. It was difficult to get the reading, bath, bedtime routine completed before 8---who's kidding--before 9! Waking up at 7 and being out of the house by 7:30 was its own set of challenges. Can I just point out that on the first day of summer---asleep by 9 and awake by 7--no struggles---as Drew would say "Whatever"!
Some highlights from the past few months:
Linsey watched the boys a few days and send me some photos during the day. I LOVE smart phones!
Drew went to Myrtle Beach with Linsey for Spring Break. He had a blast. I hated that we couldn't take a few days off to do a family trip--better planning for next year.
Drew and Jac both had birthdays! We still haven't done the party thing. A little too overwhelming for me. For Drew's birthday we got him a trampoline. For Jac's birthday we took the boys to Myrtle Beach.
I ran my first half marathon since 2007!
Jac is walking. We've let go of the bottle. Still attached to the pacifier. Jac got his first haircut.
We were suppose to go to Arkansas with the boys this weekend for Trey to fish with his dad. Work got in the way--so the plans are canceled. Work getting in the way has been a recurring theme in the Cockrell Home for the past year. Praise God we have work! (but sometimes the canceled plans make me bummed.
Trey and I are heading to Chicago in late July for the AAJ Conference. This will be our first big trip since the AAJ Conference in Hawaii in January 2009. The boys will be in Beaufort with my parents. We're hoping to have a trip to Crockett this summer. Time will tell....
