What a week..

Last week was one of the craziest week's in a long time for us here. Not only did we have a loved one go through a major surgery, but Thomas also had his actuarial exam. The good news on both fronts is that the surgery was successful and Thomas can have a little more time to himself now that the exam is done. Usually he gets a couple months in between exams where he doesn't have to study and he gets somewhat of a life back. I feel so bad for him, and I know how much he loathes all the studying he has to do, but thankfully one day in the near future he will be all done with these exams and can call himself an F.S.A. . I wonder if that means I can put those initails behind my name since I am married to him. Ha!

 On another note I got an official notice from Madden's school that there are only 4 more weeks of school left. AHH! I am terrified of not having my two and a half hours each day to get my things done. I know that sounds selfish of me, but it is hard for me to run to the stores when I am packing around 2 kids. Madden is at the age where he is getting too big to sit in the front of a cart, yet whenever we try and have him walk with us disaster strikes. He usually likes to run off somewhere and then when you tell him to hold your hand he throws a fit and pulls away from you. Such is the joy of having a three year old. I am going to look into getting him into some sort of summer program. I also fear that he will lag behind in his development without the constant stimulation he was getting at school. We'll see what happens and hope for the best.

 Lainey is doing well, and I am really enjoying the last week or so with her. She is kind of going through a mommy phase and when it gets close to night time all she wants to do is curl up with me on the couch and snuggle. It is the best thing ever. Madden went through phases of liking one of us over another but he never really was quite as snuggly as Lainey is. I sometimes wonder if it is a girl thing, because she will literally just sit there with me for a good half hour or so. Anyways, I am going to just absorb it all for as long as she will do it. I am starting to realize that the age the kids are at is so precious, and I really need to hone in and enjoy every minute of this special time. Soon they will be all grown up and not want much to do with good old mom and dad. :( While I know this is a long ways off, I also know that it really isn't that far off. Time goes way too fast and it is true that the older you get the quicker it goes.

 I will be posting pics from our photo shoot on my next blog! See you then!
