Catch-up...

Whew! It's been quite a week! Hence the lack of blog posts! (Thought you were rid of me, ehh?) ;) 

This week my van finally went in to be fixed! And I have to say... Now that I have it back, meh. 

Because the rental van they gave me... *swoon* A 2016 model with all of the perks. The one that would have cost us an extra $50+ a month on payments. Power doors, touch screen, DVD player, all leather interior, clean, fresh smelling, free of stale Cheerios and ground up goldfish crackers. It was a nice week. 

I'll miss you, my beautiful friend. 

And in other news, got our family pictures back!!! 

I'm in absolute love with them. Emma was as uncooperative as they come, but could you even tell from these wonderful shots??? If anyone is looking for a wonderful local photographer with fantastic reasonable prices, look no further than April Young Photography. Plus, who better than an experienced mom to take family photos? This sweet and funny lady just "gets it." I could go on and on. But instead, here's a link to her Facebook page.

Hanging out and playing dress up at aunt Abbie's  house. Poor Rory. It might be a while before he's able to defend himself from his sister's dress-up whims. 

Rory now isn't content unless he's pulling himself up on something to stand or climbing on something potentially dangerous. So fun. Mom's nerves are shot. Emma has been having fun supervising his feats of baby-strength.

This crazy boy has had another rough week of teething and not feeling well. I swear he's growing too. My little baby is turning into a little boy! Very little napping this week. Which even resulted in a distress call to grandma >_< See? Even on baby #2 there are days you can totally fail at motherhood. But, you ask for help, take a breather, refocus, and try again! 

We also had our first day at the YMCA this week! I went to observe a class that I'll be teaching, and the kids went to daycare for the first time ever. They did great, apparently! Emma didn't want to leave. So excited for what's to come... This is going to be so good for us! :)
