I've been trying to update the blog as I can, but never seem to have time for a post. It's been a rough past year; finishing school, pregnancy, and multiple moves. We may not be living the dream, but I'm fairly happy with where we are. Our house has some issues, but it's not bad. Our work situation is not ideal, but it's fairly flexible and has perks. Our car is slowly breaking down, but it hasn't yet. Lots of transitions and changes as a family. Right now, we mostly have each other (should probably make some friends) and that's ok.
Today is Daddy's 30th birthday. We will be going on a trip over 4th of July weekend to celebrate our accomplishments. It's something we've both talked about. Today we will just be working. He will work the day and I the evening. We can share our company in the car. For now, it works. Plus, my travels back to my old office will be coming to an end. Sad to say goodbye to the space and my clients I've gotten to know so well, but happy to start a new adventure with less commuting and new challenges. Less commuting means more time for family. I hope he enjoys the day.
Lucian has grown so much. He talks all the time. I think he has picked up a slight English accent. He still has trouble with certain sounds but is so much clearer (unless he is talking super fast with excitement). We have a lot less frustration and break downs. He still doesn't want to go to school though. He says "I just want to stay home with you Mama". We will see kiddo. He currently loves Mario Bros. and Kirby. He has a video game for each. He makes me look like a terrible Mario player. He has taught me a few secrets and has made me play the super hard levels he creates. My character dies occasionally and he laughs about it. Ok I die a lot. He makes really hard levels! Now that it's warmer out we've been enjoying the outdoors and picking flowers. Looking forward to more of that. Especially tending our own plants. Lucian picks out and plants all sorts of stuff. This year we are attempting strawberries!
Apollo has grown a lot too. He is almost 6 months old! He loves food so much we started him earlier than initially planned. He has tried many things (probably shouldn't have had some of it). It's a good way to keep him happy and to be able to eat myself. He likes to be upright most of the time. So we hold him up and let him walk around. He can grasp toys pretty well at this point and seems to love balls and music. His awesome big brother shares with him and hands him dropped toys. Today, he sat unassisted. I hope that he will utilize that more to give our backs a break. Still no teeth, but working hard at it. He also loves to attach himself to my hair!
So, that is that. Now I need time for picture updates.
