Lando:
He finished up another rotation. It is crazy to think he only has 6 more rotations left of residency. He has started training hard for his marathon, hoping to qualify for Boston this year. He ran 31 miles. We have been working out at Orange Theory together a few times a week. And that made the 31 miles seem less for me. He's already gone a lot for residency, but even more when he starts to train a lot. I just keep ....ahem....trying.... ahem... to be grateful that I have a husband who has drive. I am really grateful for that. Truly. Not just for me, but for our boys. Speaking of, he and Jax are finishing up Harry Potter 7, well they are half way through. He took Ty on a date on Saturday and will color with him every time he asks (to be fair its hard to say no to Ty's "Dad will you color with me please?"). He wrestles with Luke every night he's home, once the two older boys are in bed. Cutest dad! We went to the Draper temple last night and then yummy Ramen with the Curtis's. And then he woke up at 5:30am to help me finish preparing my lesson this morning. He is doing all the things. And I am so grateful for him every day.
Becs:
I feel weighed down by a lot of things lately. People keep saying "you're so close" or "you're at the light at the end of the tunnel". And technically it is true (considering we've been doing this for 10 years and only have 18 months left). And I just don't feel that. I was telling that to Landon tonight and he said, "The hardest part of a marathon are the last few miles." And that brought a lot of relief to me. We are in the last few miles of our "marathon". We are still very much in the building portion of our marriage/career/family. And while I know we are close to finishing, it still feels very far and very heavy. So many more big decision to make, so much more limbo to live through. This apartment+moving+new place+starting over+job hunting+deciding where to live+moving again+starting over. Just so so so so SO so much. All while having to do more infertility stuff+pregnancy+newborn. All while trying to help our kiddos feel like their life is stable, when I feel like our life is LIMBO. Hahaha.
Also it is the dead of winter.
My blessings do not go unnoticed. Really! I am so grateful to have such healthy growing boys. I am so grateful for a hard working loving husband. I am so grateful for good health myself. I am grateful for how inexpensive this apartment is. I am grateful for our date nights. I am grateful for all of our family and friends. I am grateful for the scriptures. I am grateful for my calling in Sunday School. I am grateful my Neato Vacuum. I am grateful Luke fell asleep on me on day. We are living a charmed life in all the important ways.
Jax:
He had a great week of school. He got 100% on his spelling test. He played well in his basketball game. He read 3 books this week. He went to a friends birthday party. He is sad that football is over.
Ty:
THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK!!!!! WAS TY GOING TO HALLIES. I actually kept Ty home from school on Monday and Tuesday to avoid any chance of him getting sick. I was willing to do just about anything to make this little birthday sleep over happen. Even driving through the craziest storm we've experienced this year. And it was super weird because it was only in downtown SLC. Once you hit the freeway, it was pretty much gone. TY HAD A BLAST. We LOVE HALLIE so much!
Luke:
I just think it is so amazing when Luke mimics the words that I say. Like watches my mouth, then he makes the same shape with his mouth, then says the words. WHAT? Tonight he said "Hippo". I'm not sure I can appropriately explain how amazing this is. So I won't. But its something i've never experienced before, a 20 month old, talking. Also, he's obsessed with Ty and every single nights he cries in devastation that he can't sleep in Tys bed with him.
