life is starting to slow down again....hopefully!

    MY OH MY!!! I feel like we have been living on full speed ahead since Christmas! We have spent a lot of time visiting family, going different places, and just running for the past few weeks. During Christmas break, the boys were able to meet more of their new family. I know that at times they just felt like "more new people!" but enjoyed the attention they were getting. Our whole family has been so excited to meet the two newest members of our family. 

    We went back to school last Monday. The boys were glad to be back to a normal schedule, at least we thought so! (It's amazing how much kids need a routine.) Wednesday of last week, "J" woke up with pink eye! It was something going through the daycare and he just happen to be lucky enough to get it. Last Thursday was "K's" 6th birthday. We spent the evening as family, just having his favorite meal and cake. He got a couple of presents which made him happy. 

     This past weekend my grandparents were able to come up and meet their newest great grandchildren. THE BOYS LOVED THEM!!! We got to spend a great deal of time just hanging around and bounding. Saturday evening we had both sets of grandparents, great grandparents, Aunt Sam and Uncle Scott, and Aunt Cara, Uncle Doug and Hannah over for dinner. Before everyone arrived, we had Christmas with Great Grandma and Grandpa. Talk about two spoiled little boys!  

Last night was parent teacher conferences at my school. We are lucky enough to have been able to enroll "K" in the school district where I work even though that is not our district of residence. So last night I got to play both sides of the parent teacher conference. It was very strange to be on the other side of the table. "K's" teacher is wonderful yet firm which is exactly what he needs. It was nice to hear that he is adjusting well to kindergarten but still has a few things to work on. While Billy and I were both up at school, my parents and grandparents came over to watch the boys. When we got home, "J" and Great Grandma were carrying on and "J" was giggling uncontrollably! It was so funny. He definitely found a new friend! I am not sure who was more worn out at the end of the evening though!

Today Central Ohio is blanket with yet another snow! As of right now we have a 2 hour delay tomorrow. That means no kindergarten for "K". We will see what the AM brings weather wise. We have more snow then the weathermen had called for so we will see....

On a different note, Cara reminded me that today is a special little man in Ukraine's 12th birthday. Max, please know that we think of you so much and love you! Hope your birthday is a special day for you!
