We're settled into our old routines once again. OMM was taking advantage of all the night nursing when he had that ear infection, so the last several nights there's been some crying, but I survived. Husband has been working a bunch the last two weeks, and I've been holding down the fort by myself. And again, we survived. Not much has been happening. Husband has been crazy busy trying to get his outdoor projects off the ground for the boys. The newest tasks at hand are building a tire swing and two single swings. These will hang between some tress we have on the property. The next big idea is to build another fort/play structure. This one will look more commercial then the play house our awesome friend, Mr. Webber built for his kiddos, then subsequently gave to us when they moved. By the end of summer we should have a pretty awesome play area for the boys. I'll post some pics when it's a little more complete.
The most excitement we've had was driving the boys down to visit Husband at Ft. Greely when he was gone on a 96 hour work "day." Ft. Greely is a little over 90 miles from our house, so it was a bit of drive for an afternoon trip. The boys and I only stayed for a couple of hours, but it was great to see Husband. There was a great park the boys played at and we all got to see Husband's home away from home.
OMM will be ONE YEAR OLD! in a week!!!! I can't believe it's been a year already. He's a tiny little fellow, a mere 18lbs 3oz and 29 inches. He is barely in the 5th percentile. CRM was much much bigger, and it's crazy to think they come from the same stock. The only way to explain it is, CRM comes from Husbands side of family, OMM mine. I'll wait till next week to give an update of OMM. A year, impossible!
Now there are 4

I can't believe OMM is going to be one already also. Our little Gwen will be one next month. She hasn't started walking yet, but stands by herself now. It won't be long. Think of you all so often,keep posting, I enjoy reading your blog. Love to all, Cousin Sharon in Iowa
Your husband will have those projects completed in no time with the boys' help!!
Glad to hear you all took a little day trip to Ft. Greeley. It's good to get away once in a while just for a change in scenery. Grandpa and I were in Soldotna overnight last Saturday for that very reason! Our plan was to be at the property most of June with the exception of a trip to North Pole for OMM's birthday. We definately did not plan on wasting the last two weeks watching garage foundation repairs.
The garage repair won't begin again until Tuesday, so Grandpa went to Soldotna to build a well house this weekend. The cover should be on today, then the water filters. We'll have lots of water to keep the two little guys clean when you come down in July to fish!!
Should be at your place some time on Tuesday since Grandpa will be here to watch the construction. I'm going through grandson withdrawals and need to give those boys a hug!! See you then!
Love and kisses...Ahma
