Tuesday was Nolan's 3rd birthday! We had a great day! Picnic lunch on our driveway, family came to town for Brayden's spring concert AND it was nice to be on Nolan's bday, cupcakes, etc! Saturday we will celebrate with friends and family. I cannot believe that it has been 3 years already! BUT some how it seems like he should be 4!
At 3 years old, Nolan loves Spiderman and Batman. He LOVES to ride his bike. He also can navigate the iPad. He likes to do puzzles, watch spiderman and curious George on youtube, and draw his letters. He does NOT like to have dirty hands even if it is for fun playing--ie painting, shaving cream play, gooey sensory stuff. He DOES love swimming....as long as he can "crawl" on his belly. he doesn't much care for deep water where someone would have to hold him. This should make swim lessons ExTRa fun this summer! *sarcasm* Nolan loves to play basketball, baseball, run, hang, climb, "fight/wrestle"............He LOVES to go to the YMCA with me in the mornings and play with his friends. Matter of fact, when we drive north on 73rd, he starts hollering at me that he sees the gym!!! I have no excuse not to go to the gym then :) Anyway... 3 years ago... we went from being a family of 3 to a family of 4. I didn't feel well on the 6th. I left work and spent my day/evening sleeping and sick. Plans for the 3 of us to go to the farmer's market one last time before baby #2 came along were ruined. We left early for the hospital for my planned C-section. The surgery got pushed back twice, but I was in labor when we got to the hospital so they definitely weren't going to send me home :) LOVE YOU NOLLIE POLLIE RAVIOLI!
I have been training for the Dam to Dam 20k. It has been going pretty well. I am not much of a running fan, but lately it has been very soothing. I think it is because I never really thought that I COULD do it. Knowing I can has been very empowering. I have also started lifting weights... well, a few months ago. I LOVE IT! I seriously am obsessed! I flex in the mirror
Since our trip to England and Wales is booked, I am SO excited and a little terrified how fast time is going!! I am nervous to be away from the kids for 11 days, but I know they will be in good hands with my mom, my mother in law, and my dad and Julie. There is just a LOT of stuff I need to prepare for the kids before I leave. A LOT. I need to make some lists and get organized!!!! Just so everyone can see that I am not JUST stressed about our trip..... I am super excited that I am going to have a spa day while in Cardiff. Jon is going to go golfing. We are going to stay at a beautiful venue for Lena's wedding! We are going to see castles and drink a lot of beer! Jon and I will get to see the sights in London as well as the sights in Wales. I am beyond excited to spend time with my bestie the week of her wedding and also a second honeymoon with my lover/husband/best friend.
Until next time!
