Busy Month

The last 3 weeks have been super busy. The first of the three weekends a friend and I went on a girls trip to Austin. We had a blast!! We day drank, shopped, relaxed, ate at some really good restaurants and even went to 6th street. Yes, we tried to act like we were 21 again. It will definitely become a yearly trip. The second weekend, we met Justin's mom halfway to drop the kids off for a four day stay. A second weekend in a row with no kids-I didn't know what to do with myself. Justin and I went to 2 movies, slept in, shopped, went out two nights in a row and just relaxed. It was nice!! The third weekend, Justin's mom and step dad came up to visit and we just hung out at the house.
The kids and I are now trying to get over sore throats and a running nose.

Brody has added some new words to his vocabulary, he now says uh huh, yeah, mmhhmm, and no. He loves to say no but doesn't like hearing it very much. He loves coloring with Kate and has started copying everything she does. One day Kate jumped from the couch to the ottoman and sure enough Brody tried the same. Needless to say he didn't make it. He is becoming more and more independent and gets easily frustrated when he cant do something. He is a great eater and loves pretty much everything we give him. I try to give him at least a fruit or vegetable at every meal, hoping it will keep him in the routine of eating them.
