One down, three to go

I finally finished one of my Heritage Maker projects!

I have three (or four) in the works right now...a book about Tommy, a book about Jack, a book about China...actually, come to think of it, I've started a few more. I just didn't get very far into them.

Anyway, the exciting news is that I finished ONE! It's a "swatchbook" of our family photos from last fall. You can see it using the link below. I think my boys are pretty photogenic. What do you think? :-)

Family Photos 2009

Jack-Jack Attack

I feel kind of guilty, because when Tommy was 5 months old we took tons of pictures, and now that Jack is getting close I've realized I hardly have any pictures at all! He does plenty of cute things, I just never have the camera ready to capture them. I did manage to snap a few in December, though, so I thought I'd share. He's getting really good at sitting up now, and can roll over at will. He reaches for toys that he wants, and hates to be BORED. He thinks Diego is awesome (some days I think the kids like that dog more than they like us) and can sit and watch Tommy for very long periods of time. He has an amazing smile, and gets so excited about life! It's very contagious :-)

Attentive, as always

Working on balance

Watching his brother, no doubt

Wondering "What the heck is Mommy doing??"

Deciding that he's done "sitting up"

That's my little boy!

Milestones

So...it's been a while. What's been happening:

At work, I'm now technically "part time." What does that mean? When I figure it out I'll let you know....just kidding. Basically, I now have the freedom to come and go as I need to. I go in to work for meetings, and then can work from home during the surrounding time. This is helping to cut back on babysitting, but I need to work even harder to "cut back" (it's hard to break the routine...)

Logan reported to the police academy yesterday! He says he alternates between being really glad and excited he has the job, and thinking "what the heck am I doing here?" Hopefully, the former sentiment will win the day! He'll be gone Mon-Thursday each week, but we talk on the phone a lot, and it won't be long until I see him again! I miss him, but this is doable. He's learning a lot, too. It really is an academy!

We got a truck. Yup. Didn't see that one coming, but Logan's pretty happy. I'll post pictures a bit later. Right now I still feel weird about having purchased two cars within six months...can't wait for my tax return!

Life is good :-) The boys are growing so fast (especially Jack--he's still in the 95th percentile for weight! He's my big boy.) They amaze me every day with the things they are learning. Tommy recently started singing a lot more, which is always fun, and then last week he said his first prayer! It was adorable. Yesteday Tommy talked to Logan on the phone, and he very clearly said "I love you, Daddy." It was so sweet! These little mile stones are precious. I'm glad I get to be around for them :-)
