Loving Colorado!


Wow, we are loving Colorado!! I love the summer's here...hot during the day and down to 60 at night, absolutely love it! We'll just see if I still love it during the winter, LOL!
We've got everything hung up on the walls that we have, now it's just trying to find other stuff to fill the empty spaces. We also want to paint the walls but not in a hurry to do that yet.
I've been searching for a preschool/mother's day out for Phoebe and I've found a few that don't have waiting lists and I will be meeting with them on Monday. Our neighborhood also has a rec center that offers classes, so we may be taking gymnastics, mini cheer or pee-wee soccer but I need to figure out what days she'll be in preschool first.
Eliott got some weird rash all over his body last week and fever which was some kind of virus but the doc said he had fluid behind one of his ear tubes. So we went through 10 days of antibiotics and went back Friday for the follow up and it still has fluid and the tube is kinked. So off to an ENT here. He's on another 10 days of antibiotics that's more powerful but instead of going back to the peditician I said we're just going to go straight to the ENT. So hopefully they can open the tube and get the fluid out.
Fin's doing great these days. Eating, pooping and growing like a weed. He is all smiles and just started laughing this week. He's very ticklish like his brother.
Grammy, my mom, is coming this Saturday to stay for almost a week. That should be lots of fun and I know we will totally wear her out!
Life here for me is kind of crazy...it feels like I'm doing the same thing every day and I keep telling myself that if I just get it all done tonight then I'll be caught up and can scrapbook tomorrow but tomorrow never comes (I think thats a song isn't it?). I just continually clean up toys, dishes, huge messes that Eliott makes (i.e. pouring a whole thing of garlic salt all over the table, which went through the crack in the table so it's all over the floor too, poured bacon bits all over the table...and you ask yourself where in the world is the supervision here...well we were all out in the backyard talking to the neighbors and he went back inside by himself, climbed on the table and did this on 2 different occasions). The kids have been doing great these days with getting into a routine and Phoebe loves our neighbors and talks to them several times a day.
Oh...and we did something to make us a little crazier...we got a puppy. I know we're crazy but we thought it would make the transition easier, we wanted them to all grow up together and we really wanted one too. She's an american bulldog and she's doing pretty good. She's 1 week older than Fin so she's 3 1/2 months old. This is a pic of her when we first got her, she's gained about 20 lbs since then.
