Whats new

Well things are off to a good start. The boys have started school which is a blessing to me. As much as I truly enjoy having my boys around I absolutely enjoy the peace and somewhat quite that comes with them not being around. The babies seem to be alot easier to manage and I think they like having the house to themselves. Its funny to me that I still call them the babies since they are 2 and not technically babies. I wonder when I'll stop?
Anyway where was I? Now is the time to start working on the yard. We have started the process on the pool installation which should be complete by october-ish. Then we start the fall plantings of trees and shrubs. The spring is the big planting time for us. Dave will be building some vegetable planter boxes and then I'll start the vegetables and other pretty plants for the yard. I think I'm most excited about this project because I know I won't have to dug it up when we move. (no more military houses) We have big plans for the back yard and look forward to many days and evenings spent outside. Hopefully next summer won't be such a scorcher as this one has, but at least we'll have a pool.
Im doing much better now that our family is back together and things are as they should be. I have my moments of irritated melt downs, and as Dylan says I need to take my chill pills. I still find myself asking Brian for help when Dave is sitting right there. I need to remember that Brian is a child and not "the man of the house" anymore. Dylan requires a bit more extra attention and I have gladly handed that job off to Dave since he has more patience and energy then I do. The babies are working on potty training which for some reason seems to be taking twice as long as it took Brian and Dylan to figure out.
Well, that about does it. I've updated you with the latest, not to much going on around here. Enjoying our house, our yard and new neighbors. So I guess until next time....
