my little guy at his favorite playground

brent and max went skiing again this weekend while finn and i stayed home.  we had a great weekend, me and the little guy.  on friday evening, we went out for a stroll and visited the favorite neighborhood cat, mickey.  after bath and dinner, we watched a movie and ate popcorn.  on saturday morning, he rode his scooter all the way to the starbucks across from peet's and back.  not bad for a little guy on a scooter.  he fell once but didn't get too upset.  after finn's nap, we went to the playground and he rode his scooter again.  after that we headed to santana row for some shopping and dinner at pizza antica.  of course, finn remembered the pinkberry store and had to have some dessert.  i somehow resisted buying some for myself.  last night i watched "dallas buyers club" and it was good.  depressing, but good.  today we went to target, back to the playground for some more scooter riding and some driveway sweeping.  i had fun with my little man.

brent and max had a great trip.  max is becoming better and better at skiing after every visit and brent loves being able to ski with him.  lots of pride there.  we are glad to have them back home safely tonight.  the boys were so excited to see each other and got very wound up.  both max and finn are now overtired.  bed time was rough.  hoping they will soon be snoozing.  whats important is that all my boys are home.  my little family is complete.  good night.

enjoying a treat

today is february 12, 2014.  a wednesday.  just a wednesday like any other.  a busy day starting off with a busy morning.  kids to feed, lunches to pack, bad moods to soften, bags to be packed and people to get out the door in time for school and work.  

today is a day to be thankful for.  we are fortunate.  we are blessed.  we have beautiful, healthy, amazing boys.  we have wonderful families.  fantastic friends.  today isn't just a wednesday.  it is a day we will never again experience and it is a day to be thankful for.  i am thankful.

the month of january has already come and gone and i haven't caught up on my blogging.. 

we took a trip to tahoe the first weekend in january before max started back to school after the holidays.  although there was barely any snow, there was enough at squaw for max and brent to ski some of the runs and for finn to attend ski school for the first time.  he loved it and did great!  we had a nice family getaway.  brent and max made the trip again the last weekend of the month while finn and i stayed back and just hung out.  keeping the boys apart at times is good.  hanging with just one of them once in a while is so easy.  photos and videos still to be uploaded...soon, very soon.
