What a weekend...

And we still have tomorrow to get through.  I think this is the most we have ever eaten out in this short amount of time ever.  I am certain I've gained weight from it.  Certain I will be getting back into my exercise routine come Monday.  Not that I didn't need to do that anyways, but this helps the motivation.  It was a long day, but good for the most part.  A few snags here and there but good nonetheless.  I try to have fun even when others are trying to bring everyone else down.  Its been nice to have the distraction of visitors for the last few days at least.  Tomorrow is the in-laws last full day here so we are doing a birthday dinner with cake for my little (big) guy.

I cannot believe that in just a few short days, we will have a two year old! Time has just flown by in the blink of an eye.  I wish I could just go back and cherish every single second that much more.  He's our little NICU guy and now here he is all Mr. Two with Attitude already.  Love what he brings to our little family.  Its so amazing to see our sons growing up and growing together.  I just have days where I wish they'd do all that just a little slower please.  No more baby in either of them that is for sure. 

Our four year old will be starting preschool classes on the 9th of next month.  Crazy.  I know like a silly emotional mommy I will cry.  I just am that mom.  He's so intelligent and thoughtful and an amazing little guy as well.  He's a handful some days, but such a great little kid.  I asked him if he could just stop growing up now for Mommy and he told me. "No. I have to get bigger!"  He sure does.  But that still doesn't make it any less hard for this mommy.  Love him so very much too. 

I don't know where I'd be without my family and my little guys.  We've been through a lot in the past several years, and both of our boys have truly helped us cope through the struggles in ways they will never understand.  The life, laugh, and smile of a child does absolutely amazing things for the soul.
