So I guess I am not very good at keeping up with a journal...never have been. That is besides the fact that being a mother of 2 under 2 can be very busy at times! Alot is going on with Tyson's job right now that we dont have any for sure news on yet, but in a nut-shell we could be moving, YIKES! Right now would be horrible timing because we would probably be upside-down on our house. Anyway, we will let you all know more when we do.
Aurora and Harper are growing like weeds. The past couple of weeks Aurora has been learning to talk a lot better. All of a sudden she woke up one day saying "Train, Choo-Choo" and ever since then she is saying something new everyday, and she is stringing words together. She now also loves to go to "chuch" (church). Whenever you say "church" she wants to get her shoes on and in nursery they must be teaching her that she needs to be nice because she associates "nice" with "church". We are also trying to slowly introduce her to the "potty" I would like to get her potty trained around the time she turns 2. It is so exciting to see her learning new things. Harper is starting to coo alot more and will probably be laughing soon. We already started putting her in the Johnny-Jump up even though it says 6mo+ because she a really strong neck and strong legs. She doesnt bounce yet but just kinda hangs around so to speak. Harper is a really laid back girl, as long as she is on her acid reflux medicine she sleeps well and is happy most of the time. They are both such cute girls and we love them so much!
Tyson has been working swing shift for the past couple of weeks which is a curse and a blessing. Some nights he has been home late but some nights he has only had to work for a couple of hours. It almost seems like we get to spend more time together and having him there in the morning can be very helpful. If he is gone when its the kids' bedtime that is hard though because they are usually tired and grouchy and hard to deal with. Because he is there in the morning he has been able to watch the kids while I workout or run so I have been able to have that time to work on myself and that has been good!
Tyson and I have been trying to get healthy. We are trying to eat smaller portions and we have started running in the morning. Tyson runs 3 miles every other morning and I (being a very routine person) run 2 miles every day except Sunday. I have never been a runner so the first few times were really hard but I am getting in the swing of it now and I actually enjoy it! Tyson has always had to run for PT so he is pretty good at it and he can do it much quicker than me (which is one reason we dont go together). Both of us have lost a few pounds and are feeling better about ourselves!
Well, I hope this updates you a little on what we have been up to. Thanks for wanting to know more about us!
Until next time.................
