It's been pretty quiet on the Tait-Blog lately - That is because we can barely keep up with every day life including all its chores and responsibilities - let alone with the family blog! Huh - I feel terrible and think about things to blog about often.... that is just before my eyes fall asleep sitting on the couch after the kids finally went to bed.
I am not gonna lie - I'd rather provide you with some new, interesting and detailed stories about what has been going on in our lives, but let's keep it real - a list of news will have to do for now!
The last post is from Easter - that was April. Since then... what exactly is new?!
Stella is now just over 5 months old, has been started on some solid foods, rolls over, loves bath time with big brother, sleeps through the night and actually sat up for approx. 5 seconds on her own yesterday. Where the hell did these past 5 months go?
Noah has started part time day care just recently and really enjoys it. There were a few tears and heartbreaking moments for both, him and I, when I dropped him off in the morning, but once out of his sight, he starts playing nicely with the other kids and seems to have a great time. Besides day care, he still loves his play dates with his buddies Izzy, Griffin, Ronan, Carter, Bailey, Evan and Isla,
Steven has been really busy at work lately. Plus, he has been traveling a lot - a nice break for him, but not so much fun for me.. after day 2 of just me and the kids I am usually ready to pull my hair out. Goes to show how much of a help he is to me on a daily basis, even if he is at work for most of the day and only around for a few hours in the evening. Everything helps. I am so grateful for his everyday involvement and participation raising the kids. I could not have asked for a better husband and father for my children.
And what's new with me? Not much really - other than fitting back into my clothes (:-), trying to keep it together as much as I can on days I have changed 5 dirty diapers before noon, enjoying tutoring my German students (which I could not do if Steven wasn't willing to watch both kids on the weekends!), and actually getting back a little bit of ME-time doing absolutely nothing (....and loving it), when Daddy is home on the weekends and more than happy to take both kids out on an adventure. I am one lucky lady!
Here's some pictures of the kids growing up (too fast) and having fun playing.
