The past few weeks we have been keeping VERY busy.
Last Thursday the circus was in town and they have a free "lunch with the Elephants" activity. We met up with some of our friends and all ate lunch while we watched the Elephants eat lunch. The boys both loved it.
I have also had several extra kids lately and the one thing I now know is I need a bigger house before we have our 4th child. So in order to keep a little bit of my sanity I have been trying to take them to do some fun things. We have been to the Aquarium (several times),
the sonic playground, the Mcdonalds playground and some really great parks.
It has taken 18 months but these two boys are finally best friends. These past few weeks they have been inseparable. It has been so much fun and made life so much easier now that they spend the days playing together.
One day after I put Ethan down for his nap I looked out to see Caleb just standing there. I asked him what he was doing and he said waiting for baby to get up. It broke my heart to see him so sad and lonely. It was also another great reminder of how important Ethan is in our little family and how much Caleb needed him.
It's hard to believe in just a few more weeks our little girl will be here. We are excited but also scared to death about entering the world of 3 children.
Your brothers were the same way - couldn't wait for the older one to come home from school.
