Transitions

Transitions - there seem to be lots of those going on in our family right now. 

 The Big Brother Room - I can admit it now, this was not a fun transition and there were some tears on my part that it would never work.  After our first rough night Max ended up sleeping iwth us for about four nights.  Once we bit the bullet and put them both in the room together we were in for another rough week.  Now I'm happy to say we seem to have a system that works.  Will goes to bed and then about 30 minutes later we sneak Max in.  Most nights Will pops up in his bed when we open the door - he is a crazy light sleeper, but he seems to go back to sleep now right away.  Everyone invovled seems happy iwth the arrangement and I have to say they are too darn cute when they come to our bedroom hand in hand in the morning.

Bedrest - I'm officially on modified bedrest.  No more work for me.  In fact I have worked my last day for at least a year and a half.  Brian and I have decided that I will take a year long leave of absence from teaching to stay home with the boys.  The school board approved my leave and I'm guaranteed a position for the 14-15 school year.  It is hard to believe that I'm now a stay at home mom, but I'm really excited about all of the benefits this will have for our soon to be family of five!

Spring - I had to include these pictures because this is how we spent the day after Max's party - playing in the sink in our jammies while 10 inches of snow fell outside.  Crazy.  I'm glad to say that it does seem like spring in finally here - I sent the boys off today in shorts and t-shirts.  Will was super excited that he could see his knees.  It was pretty funny.  Leaves are starting to bud and the forsythia bushes are in full bloom.  This is such a great time of year, and I'm so excited that our newest little one will enter the world soon.
