Overdue Update!

I don't know where the time goes, but it sure does go quickly!  My free time is very hard to come by lately, hence the lack in regular updates. Since my last post, I have starting back to work, though I never really stopped while on maternity leave.  Between work, playing & keeping up with the boys' needs, trying to keep the house somewhat clean, etc. any free time I have is usually spent trying to rest!  

Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks:
A little side by side comparison of Connor (left) and Brayden (right) I put together....twins?
 I had a mini reunion with some of my high schools friends a few weeks ago.  We all had boys back in March, so we got together one morning to meet each others new additions!
 Connor LOVES his playmat, especially the flashing star that plays music at the top.  He will lay there for quite awhile and "talk" to the star.  Brayden likes to play with him on the playmat too.
 Big brother & little brother...Brayden loves to hold Connor now "with one hand" as he calls it (with the support of pillows, of course!)
 The boys brought me breakfast in bed on Mother's Day and then watched cartoons with me.  Brayden was sooo excited about this!
 Me and the boys on Mother's Day
 Avery came to visit last weekend...she gets so excited & squeals when she sees Connor.  Very cute!
 Brayden went to a fun fair with his Grammy & Grampa last weekend, where he got this Batman face paint.  He REALLY loved it....there were lots of tears when it had to be washed off that night : (
 Catching some good zzzz's...I have a picture of Brayden in this same pose about the same age.
And our big news is that we bought a minivan this week!  We have joined "Club Odyssey" as Gina called it, and got a 2012 Honda Odyssey.  It is very nice and has lots of pretty cool features, including a DVD players that Brayden loves.  He is very excited to have a new van and wants to go ride in it constantly.  I still can't quite believe I'm driving a minivan, but I love it already.  So convenient with two kids now!
