This & That

It's been so hectic around the Martin houslately... I can't believe how much has gone on in the weeks since Easter.

Really, most of it isn't anything major... we've just been busy. Mommy is working a lot right now, and so is Daddy. TJ is busier than ever... the little man hardly ever sits still, and we're loving every minute of it.

TJ has moved up at school and is now in the Hippo room. He's still adjusting to the new room and the new schedule, but he's still as spoiled as ever. He loves his teachers Ms. Gina & Ms. Ivy, and he's learning so much. Everyday they learn a new word in Spanish and sign language... have music class and work on social skills. Mommy now drops him off at 11:30, instead of 1:30, so he can have lunch and nap with his classmates. He's doing great taking naps at school now... something he never really did before. His sign language is expanding his speaking vocabulary as well. For example... he says "more" as he signs "more."

In the past few weeks we've celebrated three birthdays -- two in one day (Connor & Uncle Marshall) and Asher's 2nd birthday.

We also celebrated Mother's Day quietly. On Friday, TJ's school had a Mother's Day tea and cookie reception... it was so fun spending time with him at school, and TJ LOVED the chocolate chip cookies!!!

On Sunday... Daddy had just flown in from a work trip in Arizona in the morning, and Mommy had to go to work that afternoon... so we had a nice family picnic in the middle of that chaos. Then... TJ & Daddy dropped dinner off at work. It's so nice to know that in the middle of all of the running around, working, and everyday craziness... we can always find time to be together as a family and make special memories together.
