Summer 2012

Okay so it has once again been a long time since I have done one of these. So summer is almost over and we have been busy but not as busy as last year which I think was a good thing this year. The kids have been good getting into all sorts of things and see tons of new stuff.  We have Carsten in swim lessons right now and now that we have passed the first couple classes he is really enjoying him self. River has been running around and learning new words her favorite right now is NO and Done. We have learned that when she says done it is not always true.

We have spent lots of time at the park and some time down at the beach which the kids enjoyed and always nap really well afterwords. :) We have been lucky with the fact that Steveston has a water park right there. Carsten loves to go run through the water until he gets cold River is still pretty hesitant of it but she will some days splash in the puddles on the outside area.

Carsten had his 3rd birthday last month and we relaxed around the house and just played with the kids. We had planned on going to the beach but we got rained out and Carsten had a good time anyways. His cake this year was Thomas which took a bit longer then I thought it would and I had some problems with the fondant this time. But Carsten really liked it so that is what really mattered.

Other then that our big news was that we are once again expecting. Carsten seams to understand it better this time and River I think knows something is going on but not really what. It is cute to ask River where the baby is because she points to her stomach first then to mommy's. Which has led to her wanting to look at everyone's stomach. So it should be fun watching her understand that she wont be the baby anymore.

We have also found a house to rent that is more then twice the size of the condo and will be moving in September. I think Chris and I are quite excited to have the extra space and not have to worry about how loud the kids get at times. Carsten and River are excited to have a yard that they can play in whenever they want. I am hoping they will like not having to share a room anymore. So the next month for us is going to be busy with doing little things to the condo and packing what we can as we go.

That is the update for now we will see when I end up on here again. :)
