Update

Hey folks, I feel like it's been forever since my last post. Sorry about that! I bet you all understand though!

So let's see, what have we been up to? Well, I survived my first week without Hubby around! Of course I had some great distractions with my sister and brother-in-law being here. That was wonderful. Plus the day after they left we went to dinner at the Z's house. The next night was My Gym and the next night was the night Hubby came home. Hubby surprised us by catching an earlier flight and getting home in time to put Courtney to bed. That was a great surprise!

Saturday was busy. I went to Kinsey's 2nd dance recital. It was so cute! The theme was Hollywood and Kinsey did a great job. It's so cute to watch a kids dance recital!

That evening was the zoo ball. The weather was iffy all day. So, they decided to move the cocktail hour indoors, so we were in the Gorilla/Chimpanzee house. Which means the zoo ball wasn't as exciting as it has been in years past. They did have Tigerlilly the skunk out for petting as well as a joey (baby) wallaby. Plus the zoo has declared this the year of the frog, so they had lots of frogs and toads to look at. And as usual the food was fabulous. They had lots of appetizers, including bacon wrapped scallops, which are my favorite. Dinner was yummy too! But they were running behind with everything. They were suppposed to have ended dinner and started the dancing by 9pm. But by 10:30pm they were just getting ready to wrap things up and I was trying really hard to not fall asleep. You know that 9pm is my usual bed time nowadays. So, we left around 10:30pm because we were both exhauted. We picked up the kids from my parents house and headed for home. Here we are at the zoo ball.

The next day the weather was beautiful, so Courtney got in some outdoors time. She loves her sandbox.

The weather has been nice here all week so far. We are definalty heading for summer!

Kasey is doing really well. She had one night this week that she slept from 9pm-5am! I couldn't beleive it! But that was only one night this week. Although she is pretty much sleeping 9pm-3:30am right now. Then she is up again about 5am. Not too bad! Courtney did the same thing for a long time. She woke up at 4am almost every morning for months.

We are settling into our groove now which is nice. I am really enjoying this time with the girls. Maybe a bit too much! It's still hard to get used to saying "the girls" or "the kids". Kasey is 6 weeks old today, and I am still not used to it!

Well, it's late and time to go to bed!
