Corwin said, about a month ago, how excited he was for summer break, because that's when we got to travel all over the place! Ha! He is wishfully thinking, isn't he? Well, he isn't totally wrong. It was last spring and summer that Jason "found" himself on 6 months paid vacation, so we did actually do a lot of travelling. However, we are more tied down this year with high school baseball and t-ball, and a little thing called "Ella." She makes travelling more difficult, but not impossible!
So far, we haven't done much. Jason just finished up his high school season, and t-ball has begun. We did sneak in a quick trip to Grandma and Grandpa's house to meet our new cousin Kole, pick some strawberries and gooseberries, and visit with Great Grandma and Grandpa. It was a fun couple of days. Otherwise, we're just enjoying our days at home.
Owen is having to learn to share again, and Ella is having to learn to live and nap in a noisier house. I have to break up a lot of fights and try to teach the boys to play together again. That... is exhausting.
Ella is almost 6 months old now. She spends her play time on the floor with her toys, or in her "monkey jumper." She is just now beginning to sit up by herself. She is still a little wobbly, but she gets a little better every day. She is beautiful, sweet, and very happy. She is a good eater, and as long as she is on her Zantac, is very pleasant company. The boys LOVE her and are constantly talking and playing with her.
May isn't over yet. In fact, right now, we are packing for a weekend camping trip with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Shelby, Aunt Kaysie, Ethan, Emerie, and Eliza. The boys are super excited and cannot wait to get there. I am praying for strength and patience, as camping with an infant is a TON of work. I hope I can squeeze in an hour a day of floating on a raft without hearing, "MOM...!!!" I may be dreaming, but a girl can hope, can't she? :)
