Update

• First things first. I'm not dead! Just wanted to clear up that rumor. I don't even know where to start updating you on our lives. I guess I'll just start typing and see where I end up.
• Last weekend Jeremy and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. We left the boys with Jeremy's parents and spent two days together. We talked about going overnight somewhere, but decided to save the money for another time since we couldn't find what we were looking for. We did a lot of driving around and (of course) ended up in Gettysburg for awhile. A highlight was a pedicure Jeremy scheduled for me on Saturday. It was wonderful! (I love Warm Springs!) We also watched our wedding video. That was just crazy. So many emotions. What a great day, but it really is true that married life just keeps on getting better. It still requires a lot of work for sure, but I'd marry him all over again today.
• They boys are loving the warmer weather and spend as much time outside as they can. The picture at the top of this post is of them picking me flowers. Isaiah loves to bring me flowers and before dandelions were in bloom he gave me sticks, stones, and weeds. I love them all. Isaiah gets frustrated with Nathan because he likes to pick the flowers, but doesn't like to give them to me. He'd rather hold them in his chubby hands. Isaiah does not like this. Notice Nate's' wet butt on this picture. We have a tarp covering our sandbox to keep rain and cats out. Every time it rains there are little pools water on the tarp. I try to get most of it off before I allow them to play outside, but Nathan seems to be able to smell water. I love them playing outside, but the dirt is never ending!
• Isaiah grows up more everyday. One of his favorite activities is changing clothes. Lately he's been playing with a back pack a lot. He keeps his "treasures" in there. Including his favorite shorts and shirts. He's wearing his favorite "number" (they're the best) shirt in the picture above. The problem is that I don't always catch when he puts the clothes in the back pack so they miss getting into the laundry. :( Our rule: if we leave the house mommy picks out the clothes. If we're home Isaiah picks them out.
• Nate too is growing up and starting to do a lot of talking. "No" is a big favorite. :( He also gets into things much quicker than Isaiah used to. A couple days ago I heard him chuckle and I figured he was laughing at Isaiah about something. Then Isaiah yelled "Nathan is putting towels in the toilet!" If he finds the lid on the toilet up he gets excited and then starts throwing towels into the water. What a mess.
• Seems like there is more I should be saying. Several of you are waiting for emails from me. I'm very far behind on every area of my life right now, but maybe someday I'll catch up.
• I really want to have a bigger garden this year. Am I nuts?
• I'll try not to stay silent so long before posting again.
• Oh yeah, I'm pregnant. :)
