It's been a while

Almost 3 months since I last blogged! So much has gone on this summer that I just didn't have time. Life in our house has been turned upside down since the beginning of July. The boys and I are now on our own. Mike has decided that this family is not what he wants and has moved on. He is still seeing the boys on a part time basis but the boys and I are crushed but slowly starting to move on. Anywho.....

The boys are growing up so fast. Nate started Kindergarten this year and is doing so amazing! We are only 6 weeks into school and he is writing all his phonograms, all his number to 20 and he can do the sounds of the phonograms perfectly. I am blown away by his progress and very happy he is adjusting so well. He is still very funny and everything is still a negotiation but he keeps me on my toes and I couldn't ask for a better son.

Ian, oh boy is he ever taking the term "Terrible 2's" to the fullest extent. He loves to tell me no, throw things and push every button I have. He is talking more and more. This kid loves music. He loves to dance, play the guitar and sing. I think I need to sign him and I up for a music class. No matter how angry I get at him all he has to do is climb up on my lap and cuddle with me and all my anger is gone. He makes me laugh and smile everyday.

We have a long hard road ahead of us but I know the boys and I will be ok. We are a team now.

Here are a few pics from this summer. Lots more updates to come! Love to you all.
