So it's been a while since I posted last. So I will try and make this post as painless as possible. First was Brandon's 2 year check up. He is weighing in at 27lbs, 33 3/4 inches. Meeting all his milestones and is doing great.
Then it was Brandon's 2nd birthday. We just had some family and close friends over to celebrate with us. He had a great time and it was Thomas the Train themed.
The Monday after his birthday he started preschool. He is going to the same place that Allyson goes and is loving it. He is in the Caterpillars class and did great on his firtst day. I can't believe what a big boy he is.
Unfortunatley Mike's grandma passed away a few weeks ago from complications of cancer. She was in her mid 80's and had a great life, but was unable to fight the fight anymore. We are happy that our children got to know their great grandmother, and also are at peace knowing that she is with God and whole again without pain. The hardest thing I have done in my life is to tell Allyson that her great grandmother died. She was crying and when her other great grandmother died last year right after she turned 3, I think she still didn't understand well. Like now Brandon still doesn't understand well, but Ally knows exactly what is going on.
I took Brandon for his 2 year old photos and man was that a challenge. I was happy though that we walked away with some good shots.
Then it was father's day. We did breakfast with my step dad on Sat, dinner with Mike's dad on Sat. night so we had all of Sunday to do whatever Mike wanted to do. He pretty much cleaned up the old car (Honda), and we relaxed and hung out here at the house playing with the kids. It was a great day.
Then we finally found our car. Well not exactly the one we wanted, but close enough and the deals were right. It has been so nice. I forgot what air conditioning feels like. Then we sold the Honda. We sold it on our own since the dealership only wanted to give us $500. for it. It needed a few things, but the condition of the car was amazing. So it was a little sad, since that was the first joint purchase Mike and I made together, but this car is amazing. The kids love it and I love driving it. One downfall. I've already filled it up with gas, and YIKES!!!
With all this business, the kids just needed to play. We took them to the park the other day. We have been swimming with them daily and they are loving the summer.
