Long time no blog

Where to begin? So much has happened since my last posting and that's why I just haven't gotten around to updating...

My job is all done - all wrapped up. I've returned my Thinkpad and am now thankfully using a borrowed laptop. Jonathan is still in preschool three days/week - on M, W, F and I'm really enjoying my alone time with Sylvie on those days. The three of us hit the bounce house scene yesterday for the first time in about a year! Even Sylvie went in a jumped for a little bit. It was suprisingly packed for such a beautiful day outside.

The weather has been so warm and sunny that I've been taking the kids to the lake, and mostly the outdoor area of the science museum almost every day. Here are a couple of vids from the museum:





I was planning on taking Sylvie's pacifier away this week, but over Labor Day weekend, she fell asleep while her pacy was on the floor, so I just grabbed it and threw it out. She was a little cranky for the next few days without it, but she understood that "pacy is all gone" and "no more pacy" and she doesn't even look for it anymore! It was actually relatively easy compared to how it went with Jonathan.

Another big event in Sylvie's life happened this week...she got her first haircut! Her hair was getting into her eyes constantly, especially because she pulls out all of her barrettes. She did not like it at all...she had to sit on my lap and I held her chin while they took a couple of snips off of her bangs as she cried and screamed the whole time. Classic Sylvie.

Over Labor Day weekend, Mike and Matt came up from NY and spent lots of time with the kids. I worked all weekend, so it was nice to have some distraction for them and they had a blast with all of the attention. Here they are playing with the bounce house that they bought the kids:



Here's a cute video of Mike and Matt with the kids:



Here all of the pics from these last few weeks.
