Ahhhh - what a beautiful time of year! Flowers blooming, winds are blowing, baseball games starting, soccer practices continuing, Scout activities, baby bunnies and chicks running about, and the car getting over 100 miles a day - just around town and back, numerous times! haha!
We have been busy busy busy - go go go for the last month! A and J both started baseball and games just started a few days ago, A is also on a select soccer team, both boys have Scouts and all the activities that are going along with that!
I just can't imagine doing it all AND having a two year old AND having a job.... yep - after MANY years I finally "retired"! I would say after 17 years with one company, I am allowed to use the word retired! SO - in my new position/career as a domestic engineer - I am trying to still get things in a routine and trying hard to get all those "I really need to get this.... done" projects! It is SO not as easy as I thought! I almost want to go back to work to make it easier! haha!
Little O and I have a good time during the day though... she is so such a little angel! She of course has her beloved tantrums and screaming spells - but over all she is just precious! She loves ALL animals and wants to pet them, regardless of the animal wants her to or not! She loves to HELP you do whatever it is that you are doing, regardless of if you want her to or not! (though she is GREAT at loading clothes into the dryer!) She is a very effective little communicator too! Her vocabulary has grown, though not significantly.... but she can name the Sesame Street monsters - no problem! Her favorite show, obviously Sesame Street! Not much else will hold her attention! O is making some little friends, and enjoying interacting with them. She is very independent and likes to take off to do "her thing". She has adjusted to everything SO well... we feel really lucky that she is healthy and getting along. Her hair has really grown, she has gained weight, and her clothes that we bought in Ukraine are finally starting to get a little tight! She is not a very picky eater and likes to try new things (even if it is only once!).

Both boys are keeping busy with sports and school activities - we are excited in some ways that school is winding down - though summer school is just on the horizon! Little J broke his collarbone about 2 weeks ago, so he is running around with a sling on! Hopefully all will heal fine and he can return to baseball in about a week! He is tired of being the "bat boy"!
Above is a picture of O and me - all dressed up to go to a big birthday party! Her very first large "social" gathering! Considering she was the only toddler with about 100+ adults - she did really well and seemed to enjoy herself! Needless to say - on the hour long drive home - she threw up all over her party dress and car seat! Ick! Oh well!
Enjoy your spring!
