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!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

First day of school

This year I have a first and a fifth grader! Aww, he was so tiny in the first picture in Pre-K! Last year of elementary school for this big kid, and Mama is not ready for middle school next year. The boys had a great start to their school year, still taking the bus every day, and while no one is a fan of going to school around here, they seem to like their teachers and classes so far. I'm glad to be getting back to more of a routine for them (and me), because let me just tell you...summer was rough! Haha.

January iPhone dump

A quick look at our January! Nursing Level 2 unlocked...after getting a heated vest, I now also have my personal space heater at work. No one warned me how cold hospitals are...haha! We watched our friend's dog for a few days and Mr. Finn was in heaven. He wouldn't let go of poor Nugget and always wanted him to be right with him. His eyes say "Save me!!!" Cherishing the times that he will cuddle with me. I know I don't have much time left, and that makes me really sad. Self-care...reading a book in our hammock while the kids were playing nicely together. Another downfall of them growing up, is that we now have to order adult meals at the restaurant. I might have to get another job in order to afford these two...haha.  Katie sent me this picture of Finn sleeping with their dog one night.  Sweet things my co-worker leaves for me when I was sick at work...she made me a to-go tissue packet because the box I kept carrying around kept falling out of my fanny pack that I...
