Saturday...

What a busy but fun day today! We started off bright and early with Nolan's last soccer game of the season. He had a great time and so did Mark coaching. This was followed by playing in the bounce houses they had set up and eating hot dogs (for Mark and Nolan). Caleb helped me at the renovating Super Wal-Mart where it's always an adventure finding what you need! It should be nice when it's done though... Then we went to our Carlson friends' combined birthday party at the Denton Waterworks water park and that was so much fun! Nolan had a blast swimming with his friends and daddy while I relaxed with Caleb and visiting with friends. A flurry of activity when we came home to get two very tired & hungry boys to bed and now looking forward to a good day of worship in the house of the Lord tomorrow!

Happy Friday

OK it's cracking me up seeing little Caleb's natural mohawk in the bluebonnet pictures! His hair is filling out all around now and I know I need to post new pictures.... the past month has been rather consumed with Upward Soccer practices and games and Mark planning and rehearsing for the awards ceremony last week. Nolan has improved so much and really LOVES to play! Of course, he's one of the most timid out there because he's not a natural tiger but it would be so cute how he'd call out from the field to me, "Mommy, did you see me run FAST??" Oh, how I love, love, love, this age! The past couple of weeks have also been filled with swim lessons and we are having so much fun with Coach Minich and our friends! I'm so proud of Nolan doing so well and being so brave in the water. He doesn't like to go under water much but he does it at times and I'm so proud of him! We're looking forward to tomorrow's last Upward Soccer game and our Carlson friends' birthday party at the Denton Waterpark. Nolan and Mark will brave the lazy river, etc while I hang out with Caleb on the sidelines. Caleb's growing like a weed and we call him our little Chunk-a-munk! He's eating some baby food and loves that as long as we shovel it in without missing a beat. He's taking his last bottle of the day by about 8:00 and then sleeps until 8 or 9 am!! Wow, what a blessing that is to have good sleep around here! I'm able to get up early for my "quiet time" with the Lord and have found some time to get back to the gym. I'm back to my prepregnancy weight but would like to be a little more fit. My main goal though truly is good health. I try to make healthy meals for the family so all of that keeps me busy to say the least! Some of my favorite things are to play Candy Land with Nolan and snuggle, giggle, and tickle Caleb. Mark's doing well, too.... working lots AND coaching Nolan's team!
