Sorry it has been a few weeks since I have blogged. Life just got busy! Two weekends ago we went on our back to school retreat at Epworth by the Sea in St. Simons Island, GA. It was Micah's first youth trip. We had a great weekend with the youth, but keeping Micah from being a distraction during sessions and trying to keep him from waking the girls up at night was a real challenge. Our youth are alot of fun and surprise me at how much they really do listen. I am so proud of all of them, and we are looking forward to another great year. While we were there, we went to Summer Waves, and Micah got to splash around in the baby pool. He is able to do more and more these days, and it is so much fun!
This past week, I went back to "work". I am now keeping Hayden, my youngest nephew. My other nephew Hovey started preschool this week. I really miss having him with me everyday, but he was so excited about starting school. Laurie had to practically beg him to kiss her goodbye on his first day because he was too busy playing. I know he will do great at school, but I'm really going to miss my boy!
Having Micah and Hayden has given me a window into what it would be like to have twins because they are only 2 months apart. So far it hasn't been too difficult. The only challenge has been juggling their schedules so that they do not need to eat at the same time. I am looking forward to watching them grow up together. I am sure they will be the best of friends. The first day I had both of them, I put both of them in the crib while I cleaned up. Hayden was pitching a fit and crying, and Micah just looked at him like "what's wrong with you?" It was so funny. Yesterday, they started talking to each other. They were cooing and smiling at each other and responding to each other like they were having a conversation. It was so cute! Laurie and I think they will probably have their own secret language.
