Our week - Just the 3 of us...

Well Jim, Ben, and myself survived our first week as just the three of us!  (We sure did miss having family around though..)

We didn't do much on Monday as we had an electrician coming to do some work in our patio that Mark has been working on.  It is my goal to get out and take the boys for a walk everyday - so we did do that when he was finished up!  And of course there was lots of outside time!

Tuesday morning we went into Old Town to see if we could get a view of Space Shuttle Discovery.  It was flying from FL to the museum at Dulles Airport.  We sure did get a pretty good view of it!  It actually flew by twice.  Not sure if it made a third trip or not, but Jim was getting bored of sitting in his stroller, so we took off. 

Tuesday afternoon we made our way up to Maryland to meet up with Nicole.  We went to a lake near her house to go for a little walk.  Jim enjoyed getting out of his stroller and walking on his own.  The entire drive home he was talking about 'Cole' and her dog Poppy! 

Here are the pictures I caught on camera of Ben smiling.  He smiles a ton now!  It's great!  I sit there and talk to him and he's all smiles back at me :)

Wednesday morning Finn & Maggie came over.  It was good hanging out with them.  And again, once they left, Jim kept talking about his friend Finn...and how they played with the toys together.

Thursday and Friday we really didn't have anything planned.  I did run to the bank and Target on Thursday...and to the grocery store on Friday.  I am learning that you need to run out of the house for something, or I think we'll all go crazy staying home all day.  The weather was gorgeous all week, so we had lots of fun playing outside!

It seems like one of our morning routines is to get in some tummy time for Ben.  And Jim is always there with him either helping him out, or working on his own tummy time :)

I was a pretty happy mommy when I got both the boys to take a nap at the same time.  And they were both napping in their beds!!!! 

I would say we had a great first week home together!!!  Both boys were very well behaved - which made things a lot easier :)  We were very happy when Friday rolled along knowing that we got to hang out with Mark all weekend!!!
