Wow! What a crazy week, definitely one of the busier we've had, but certainly not the only one we've had. Last week was again crazy with Monday night being ball for Jim, Tuesday being Rally Day for James at t-ball and then finally our first quiet was almost a week ago (when I thought I would get this post done....BUT, life is just that busy that this is the first time I've really been on my computer since then!) The current week we are in is turning out to be just as crazy again, Monday Jim's ball, Tuesday was t-ball and I was out of town all day for work, then tonight was a random mid-week family dinner with my visiting niece and her boyfriend! It was wonderful though to come home at 7:30 and just chill out!
I love having these "day in the life" posts to look back on a few months or years later. I love going back and reading them from when I just had Ryan, or just Ryan and Lucas. It's amazing to see how much has changed, and yet how much is still the same! (laundry). By the way I love that bunk bed.
