August iPhone Dump

I guess this will be a Fox photo dump from now on, since I already post all of Finn's pictures with his weekly updates.
Two days after I came home from the hospital we took the boys to Fox's favorite gymnastics place to get some of his energy out. He had a blast, although he was a little disappointed that Finn couldn't join him in the foam pit!

I totally teared up when I saw that Fox's school had put up Finn's birth announcement on their tree of life!


Dinner with the rest of the family!

Fox has been loving all things gold lately. He claims that gold gives him power, so one day we went to the craft store to get some gold paint and he has been painting everything he can get his hands on, gold ever since. 

We transformed our dining room into an office for me, complete with a wall bed, so it can double as a guest room. It took six weeks for it to get here, unfortunately it came damaged, so it took another six weeks to get another one...just in time for my mom to come visit from Germany. Fox immediately claimed the room as his though and started decorating the room and even slept in there until my mom arrived.

I laughed when I saw him one morning like this. Can't be comfortable, right?

Always happy when I pick him up from school! It's been a little bit of an adjustment to get two kids ready in the morning and handle Finn's car seat and stroller for drop off and pick ups every day, but so far it's been good and we haven't had too many car rides with a screaming baby in the back yet. When my mom was here, she would stay with Finn at home, while I dropped off Fox at school and it felt so weird, but also nice!

I've had a lot of friends visit me this month to meet Finn, check in on me and bring us meals. We didn't have to cook for two weeks because our sweet friends had set up a meal train for us, which was such a blessing! I truly have the best friends!

He was laughing so hard because Katie kept throwing a baby swaddle at him in the car.

Starting him young...he was not too thrilled about doing laundry, but oh well...!

Fox had asked Katie for a king's crown for a long time and he was so excited when the amazon delivery guy came to bring him exactly what he wished for. I took a video of him opening the box and it was the sweetest thing ever. He kept saying "For me? For me? I can't believe it! I always wanted this! I really can't believe it!"

When a German comes to Arizona, they've been missing the sun so much that they sit in 110 degrees heat to soak it up!

What we've been doing lately...Candyland all day, every day!

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

We took some family pictures this fall!

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
