This season of life. Whew.  It's a go-go-go-go-drop kind of life.

Our toddler is in a big boy bed!  I never blogged about it or posted the video where he SQUEALS with delight.  Trust me.  He was thrilled and remains in awe of his newfound freedom.  It's been about a month.

Our toddler is also potty training (again).  He has good days and off days.  And more good days than off.  He's doing both kinds of business on the potty and we're very proud.

Our baby is growing so quickly.  In the last month, his personality is really emerging.  He's got the best belly laugh you've ever heard.  He loves to be near his brother- especially if it means he gets bumped around a bit (insert pic of Zach jumping on bed and Andrew holding onto the railing for dear life- shrieking, laughing and snorting with delight).  He's gonna be rough and tumble people.   He has a tooth that's just under the surface (bottom right).

Our best friends are moving to Germany in less than a week.  Many, many tears have been shed, but we are so thankful for their courage and example as they follow the Lord's leading.  We bought an ipad so we could iMessage with them and FaceTime.

Our 10 year anniversary is this August!  10 years!  We'll celebrate this weekend with a 24 hr getaway!  Aunt Colleen and Uncle Mike will take the reigns while we're away.  God bless them.

The boys and I will be traveling to Wisconsin to visit both sides of the family the day after our BFFs move.  Me and 2 boys.  Traveling.  Alone.  It's child's play when I consider what our friends are doing (international flight, customs, etc) but nonetheless.

Is that enough?

In my head, there's a post coming about Zachary turning 2 and a half.  Andrew will be 8 months before you know it.  I'm sure there will be lots of photos and fun memories captured over our vacation too.
