So...after reading a few of my friend's blogs, I decided to start one up myself! I figured there is no better time in my life to write things down than now. I told Chris that someday I'll print this out and have documentation of our life with an 18 month old and a 6 weeker!! It can be pretty crazy, but so far we wouldn't change it for a thing:)
This weekend has been busy so far, but we don't have any more plans for the rest of it so we're looking forward to relaxing (as much as possible anyway) Friday night our friends Joe and Tracy offered to watch Max and Mya so Chris and I could enjoy a dinner out just the two of us. On the way to their house, I mentioned to Chris that a part of me wanted to drop them off and then go home and sleep! I felt bad about saying that, but he responded with, "I thought of the exact same thing!" We did not go home, but instead enjoyed a dinner out at Mulligans.
We went to Decorah yesterday to meet up with some of my family. We got to see my cousin Kevin's two kids Bryleigh and Brayden and then we got a picture of my Grandma with all 5 great-grandchildren. We also took some generation pictures. We drove up and back yesterday so needless to say, the kids were ready to be home! Actually...Mya did awesome. However, Max has regressed in the car. I think I unbuckled my seatbelt and leaned forward to pick up his "bantie" (blanket) about 25 times in 80 miles. We are quite a sight in the minivan...Chris up front driving with Chloe riding shotgun. Then the 2 kids in the middle and me in the way back with all of the gear we might possibly need to get through the trip:) With about 10 miles to go last night, I had to whip out some pumpkin bars that my mom sent home with us so Max could make it home!

Today we have just been fighting with kids to take naps (as I write, Mya is sleeping in the baby bjorn and has been for 2 hours!) and running errands (separately of course) I bought Mya's baptismal gown so that was fun. Grandma Bev sent a gift card so I used that and bought some really cute socks too:) Tonight we're going to eat some good steaks for dinner and probably open a bottle of wine too! Enjoy my blog. I want to get some pictures put on here, but I'll have to wait until my techy husband can show me how! Until next time....
