long time no see

wow, i haven't written in forever and a day. these days, making it onto the computer for leisure happens rarely.

went to maui for the long weekend and spent time at grandpa's house. the kids were good on the plane, this being the first time on the plane without gramma. they didn't let us sit together (can't have two lap kids in the same row they said), so i had to sit in the middle of the three-peeps side. i was worried as heck but caleb actually was able to sit still for a longer time with strangers beside us. dave sat on the two-peeps side with brynna and of course she did well. being on the plane makes me anxious and i freakin lost my damn camera. oh well. at least we got there and back safe and sound so it's all good.

while we were there we slept with the kids....dave slept with one and i slept with the other in different rooms. sleeping with them sucks. i love cuddling them, but being kicked, rolled into, and smooshed into a little bitty space while they roll freely does not make for good sleeps. i much rather sleep with the dragon-snoring hubby than the space taking kids!!!!

took caleb to the maui ocean center. he enjoyed it thoroughly...for the first fifteen minutes. after that he was more concerned with getting milk and being carried. he was tired so we hurried through the rest and headed out. overall, it was a good experience, which i don't have pictures of except on my phone. oh well.

caleb is saying more words...i haven't written it down and counted, but i think he's past his 21 month goal of 20 words. i know i shouldn't compare him to other kids and that he'll be fine, but it's hard to not compare. oh well...he's happy and healthy and not missing any milestones so i guess it's all good. we say that he's french because he keeps saying words with "la" in front of it. or making up words and having "la" in front. for example, water is "la-ba-le". button is "la-butt". today he asked my mom for a bite of food and said "la-bite." don't ask me where this comes from.

brynna's first two teeth broke the gums! we were waiting and waiting because she was sooo drooly and gumming everything. she didn't seem fussy or nutts or anything so i'm hoping the rest of the teeth won't bother her too much either.
