Time, Time, Time

Time sure has gotten away from me. A couple of months have passed since I posted and our lives here have been quite busy.

The kids now consume most of our time and our planning, but we love it (most of the time). Tekla is now not only in swim classes, but I'm taking her to Gymnastics once a week as well. A 2 1/2 year old, geez, but it is good for her socialization. She has a fantastic Nanny here at home, but because she doesn't go to daycare, getting around other kids is great for her.

Bode is growing up so fast. He is now walking and jabbering up a storm. He says a few words, Daddy, Hi, Bye, Nanny, but still no Papa.. I'm left out again...lol. He is facing his first birthday in a couple of weeks.. hard to believe a year has come and gone.

House projects have been underway. Elevator is installed, tile work is being finished in the new hallway and spring is around the corner so we will be getting busy in the yard getting it ready for the kids (and parents) to enjoy this summer.

While we do enjoy our kids, we have made a conscious effort to keep our relationship important. We occasionally make date nights where we get a hotel room, go to dinner, out for a drink or something, just to remind each other who we are. We also just took a weeks vacation and loved it. Missed the kids terribly, but we needed the break.

Now onto what has been happening in the world around us... DADT has been repealed. DOMA is basically dead and many people around the world are revolting against their governments wanting democracy (whether or not they are ready for it or not). I must say this is an exciting time to see the changes around us.
