Sometimes you have to be creative...

So we had a GREAT weekend. We were out in the snow twice on Saturday. When we came back in the first time, Daddy had all of the couch cushions off the couch from vacuuming. The boyz went WILD and were entertained for about 45 minutes. Caitlin showed up later with gifts and the boyz were pumped!! We were reminded how persistent Cam can be (especially if Reese's pieces are involved!)

Keena came over later and she and Caitlin got Andrew and I out of the house. We had an amazing sushi dinner (sorry Caitlin) and then hung out at Barnes and Noble. I had to remind Andrew, I can not relax when I am not responsible for Ewan and Cameron. Luckily I have such wonderful support that I do not even worry one bit! I am headed to San Francisco on Thursday to visit a college friend, with a college friend. I am so excited! It is difficult at this age because they can not tell you what is wrong, but they expect you to know. With two of them at the same age, unable to communicate clearly, I have been so overwhelmed...much less everything else going on in our life. I am so thankful for last night with my husband...I am thankful for ALL the support I have...I am thankful for our GREAT friends...I am thankful, I can see light at the end of the tunnel...most of all I am thankful to see Ewan as himself, I have not seen the true Ewie since Christmas...and my Cam-a-lam said, "love you" to Andrew tonight...our hearts melted!

We ended our weekend celebrating Anna Bear's 5th birthday! I LOVE that child like my own niece. I LOVE Anna's enthusiasm and passion for life! She is so independent and intelligent! I have no worries about her...I feel the same way about her as I do about Cam...I know they will be just fine in life. Such a STRONG sense of self! Wearing Heidi's tutu from when Heidi was 8, she had such a GREAT time, loved and kissed EVERYONE at that party! My favorite part is when she sang Happy Birthday to herself! In English, then in German! So AMAZING! I am so excited I get to see her grow up!

On a side note, I am reading "Catcher in the Rye" again...it actually was my favorite book in high school and I found myself talking to Antman about it...then JD Salinger passed away and I felt this overwhelming need to read it...I bought it last night and I started reading it today...forgot COMPLETELY about Allie, Holden's younger brother!!! Feel back in love with the book...
