Fresh mountain air!

It feels amazing outside. I've been feeling very blessed... and just need to write it all down. Kevin and I brought the kids up to the mountains on Wednesday for a little family getaway. Don't get me wrong... it can get a little hectic... and annoying at times... but man... the little moments with the kids that make you smile... makes it all worth it!

Kevin is playing golf with Megan While Jake sleeps... and I relax. This morning I took another great run... and the mountain air felt so incredibly good. It feels like spring... and I love it.

It was Jake's first time flying in the airplane. Actually, our first family flight too! The kids looked so cute in the back of the plane together. The loud engine made Jake pass out... just like his Mama!

Megan's Latest:

Loves doing puzzles. She is actually really really good at them. She seems to really be getting the visual concept of putting the parts of the colors and shapes together. She is addicted to memory... and I think this helps with the puzzles. She made up her own game yesterday... where she turns all of the puzzle pieces over face down. Then... she flips 2 of them like she is playing memory. If the 2 fit together... you can put them on the puzzle. I thought she was crazy... but as I played it for a few minutes... I could tell she was actually picturing what pieces fit together. Pretty cool.

She is doing better at playing with Jacob. (Not that she wasn't before... but as he has gotten older... they actually PLAY!) She still gets in trouble for trying to carry him around (which he usually hates). She does however get a kick out of making him laugh. They go crazy together sometimes. It is so fun watching them start to really bond. I caught them holding hands on the couch as they watched TV together this morning. I love it when I spot her sharing snacks with him... or going out of her way to bring him a toy or water cup.
