There was a lot that happened this week but the best part was yesterday when Chris came home from his month long annual training! I drove up to Pocatello where he was getting released Friday night after saying goodbye to my best friend at the airport. Saturday morning we got to finally be back together and we spent 3 hours talking and saying how much we missed each other while we drove home. We are so happy to be back together and we got to go to church today and get to have so much time together next week.
Company
My best friend and I had a great time this past week visiting different places and getting to spend time together. We visited heritage park on Tuesday because it was free, went to some splash pads, played with water in the back yard, visited Temple square, and had a lot of fun just staying up and talking. We made very yummy meals and spent several days taking good pictures of each other for our husbands then we would edit them after the kids went to bed and watch movies. If only we lived closer we could have fun girl dates all the time and not have to cram it all into the week we see each other! We would probably get into more trouble too...
Claire
After the first few days of having a friend over, she got very possessive of her toys and would take them away whenever they were being played with by someone else. I felt bad and want to teach her to share but she was not happy about any of it and would give me so much attitude I had to try not to laugh. She was always good about "kissing it better" when ever I told her to so that is a start! She liked the water at the parks and in the backyard and we still went to the gym every day to get her some out of the house time. Sleeping was a bit difficult because they didn't nap for the same length and if they woke each other up they would be cranky so we had to start having them nap at separate times.
Shay
This little cutie was the best behaved kid in the house sometimes and just had fun as long as she was in the same room as people. She just likes to be involved with what is going on and doesn't want to be forgotten, so classic 2nd child syndrome probably. Shay is getting so big! She is outgrowing cloths faster than Claire did and has cute baby fat that Claire definitely didn't have so they will probably be mistaken as twins in a year or two. Her sleeping habits seem to be getting a bit better and spitting up doesn't happen EVERY time she eats, but its enough to be annoying when it does happen.
Chris
We have a few days before he has to go back to work so we've played some games together, watched movies while cuddling, and have gym plans all next week. I'm so happy to have him back and he is happy to be back! Apparently they only feed them MREs most the time and Chris didn't have an appitite for them very much so when he got back he had lost 10 pounds (if only I had been able to match that I would be doing great). He is looking forward to eating delicious food again and we are going to start our carb cycling diet to help me the rest of my baby weight too. He loves cuddling with Claire and Shay who has fallen asleep on him 3 times already! He thinks he has missed so much because Shay is getting bigger and holds her head up in tummy time so well, and Claire is saying some more words.
