First family road trip

Dallas or bust! The boys did so great, they slept both ways! We were all happy to spend time with baby Max, Alex,Steve, Mark and Lindsey. A perk to moving to Houston is more relaxing family weekends, honestly there is nothing better in my book.

Things

It's been so long since I have posted anything! So much has happened:
- Logan is two
- We bought a house
- Everett is walking
- I am 8 pounds less then my pre pregnancy weight
- Everett is dancing, pointing, always in motion!
- Logan is a cutie: he goes to Everett when he is crying rubs his head and says Meme Nah, Meme Nah (I'm here, I'm here)
- Logan sings and loves Elmo
- Logan is saying new words everyday

The summer is going fast and in a few few weeks Everett will be one!!

Perfect

I know perfect is a strong word but I think it's the best way to describe the day I had with my boys. Keith is away for work so it was just me and my boys. I knew I wanted to drive to the train station to show Logan the train but I didn't have any other plans for us.
On our way to the train station we saw that Lake Bluff had their fire trucks out and there were baseball games going on in the park. After watching the train, I went back home grabbed the stroller and headed to Lake Bluff. We walked and looked at the fire trucks, we went to the park for 2 hrs and the boys were so happy. It was beautiful outside and so were they.
When we came home Everett was asleep and Logan still wanted to play outside. We sat together and had a sandwich outside and I watched as he played.
After nap time, we went out again. The weather was beautiful, partly sunny and 60s. I fed Everett dinner while Logan made him laugh. Then they played together for awhile.They are just so cute together, they laugh together and I love watching it.
When it was bedtime Logan helped me give Everett a bath. He was quiet and whispered when I was putting Everett to bed. Everett was exhausted from all our fun. Logan was so kind and understanding about his little brother. What an amazing little boys I have. 

Changes

Well, it's happened. Keith is no longer wearing the USN uniform. Monday he starts his new career. It feels surreal because we have been planing this move for so long and now it is here and happening. We will have some crazy days ahead with moving and getting adjusted to a new schedule but it will be wonderful.
I am so proud of Keith for working hard and finding a job that has a career path and something he can be excited about. I'm also proud of us for deciding we were going to leave the Navy and doing it no matter what everyone around us said. The Navy showed us beautiful parts of the world and helped us make life long friendships which both have shaped who we are today. So, here is to closing a lovely chapter in our lives and turning the page.
