Lack'age

As one may have noticed..... There has been some serious lack'age of blog posts lately. We have just been so busy! Maria's interpreting schedule filled up quickly, and trying to juggle work with her coaching has been challenging. Lori is always busy with work, but can you guess what happens when you add in business trips, HRC commitments, and Breckenridge? Hardly any time to breathe!

Oh yeah, and COOPER! We spend every minute we can with him. He is just so great. Talking a lot. Repeating anything and everything. Still into bulldozers and backhoes, but has recently added a love of dinosaurs into the mix. Such a boy! Favorite movies right now are 'Finding Nemo' and 'Up'. Still trying to master the bicycle thing, and we are sure he will get it any day now. Thomas and all the other tank engines take up most of his playing time while in the apartment. He didn't care much for the tracks until recently, and now says 'circle circle' as he is bring us over to the floor so we can build an oval enclosure for him to sit in. How could we say no, right?

Carter is coming over during the week now since Clara is babysitting them both three days a week. Cooper is still going to daycare on Mondays, and Maria is taking off every Friday to spend time with the two. Cooper is so good with Carter, but we do have to be a bit careful since his ideas regarding boundaries are definitely that of a two year old - nonexistant. He does get credit for having all the best intentions! Lots of kisses and touches and sharing of toys. Poor Carter, although all of this "love" and "attention" will make him a stronger person and a better citizen in the future. (yes, i am sure)

We will try and keep up with the blog from this point on. Promise!
