Jack had his first haircut at a kids place over the weekend. We are spoiled in that my Aunt Sally usually does it. Speaking of which I will post a picture below of her son Pat, my cousin, who looks exactly like Jack- or better yet Jack looks exactly like him when he was a baby! It's so crazy! But I will say I wouldn't mind Jack growing up to look like Pat!
We have had some play dates with the kids lately. Today I had some girlfriends from law school over (Jodie & Amy) with their kids which was great! The kids are at an age now where I can talk to my friends and they play with all the kids- it is really great. Last weekend we had another play date with some old friends (Ali, Dana & Marylynn - Katie too but see her all the time :)). The kids had a blast!!! We celebrated Katie's bday over the weekend. Her basement was made for my kids! They could spend days down there- and still not play with all the toys- so many!!!!
It is getting easier to do more things with the kids too- Friendly's, running errands, church. The kids are becoming more independent too-and smart! They can do puzzles (thanks to mim) and they love their letters! Everyday I swear they do something new or say something new. It really is amazing.
The only thing that I wish they would understand is that Mommy needs her sleep! I don't know if they take after Mike or my sister Katie who for some reason don't cherish sleep like I do- but both Jack & Ellie still wake up some nights- and I can't figure out why or how to stop it. It is so hard for me to deal with- and if you know me, you know I need at least 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep- to be nice! That hasn't happened in a very long time!!
This weekend my sister Sally & I are headed to Fort Lauderdale to visit Uncle Tommy. We went last year with Katie, but with pregnancy she had to pass this year- but we will be going back next year and every year thereafter!
Here is hoping my next post is in February!
