Catch up

So we have had a busy week! We are now starting on our second week at home! It is hard to believe that! Last week we were pretty much house bound. Our area received about 18 inches of snow which is a record for here! It was crazy! It was also so cold that we could not really go outside and enjoy the snow. We spent most of our time inside playing with cars and building with blocks and working on potty training. Fun and exciting stuff! It finally started to warm up on Thursday. Friday TJ went back to work for the first time. It was weird to be without him after we had been together everyday for 2 weeks. I think that is the most time that we have spent together since our honeymoon! So on Friday it was just me and Jerrett. My parents were coming in for the weekend and so Jerrett and I decided that we needed to shovel the driveway so that could have somewhere to park and not have to trek through the still many inches of snow. So thats what we did after nap time. He took his toy shovel, a sand bucket and a big Tonka truck and I had a shovel and we clearded that whole thing! I definately got my exercise that day! Saturday afternoon Mom and Dad or Grandma and Grandpa showed up. Jerrett loves my parents. He was so excited to see them, He speaks to them on the phone almost everyday and was really ready to play with them. They did not dissappoint. Dad played tools and trucks and mom read stories, put together puzzles, and played tools. He loved showing them all of his toys and all of his tricks. Jerrett definately has them around his little finger. He is the only grandchild on my side of the family and so is going to be a little rotten. Thankfully Mom and Dad know of TJ and my decision about the amount of toys and junk that he can have and they agree so instead of showering him with things, they got down on his level and really played and spent quality time with him. That is what he is going to remember not the stuff that they buy for him. Even today when he woke up he asked if Grandpa was going to come by and play with him. They left on Sunday when Jerrett went down for his nap. He gave hugs and kisses and said that he wanted to go to their house soon and play with their dog. I think that leaving was harder on mom and dad than on Jerrett! But he hasn't stopped talking about them. After he went to the bathroom on his own yesterday, he wanted to call grandpa and tell him. I told Jerrett that Grandpa was at work but he told me that Grandpa wouldn't care and that he wanted to tell him about the potty because Grandpa would be happy. We compromised and he got to call them before he went to bed. Last night was Valentines Day and I had two of the most handsome men as my dates! That is what two of the pics above are. My two handsome boys! How I love both of them! We did not do anything to big. we went to a Mexican resteraunt here in town. And then came home and did gifts. I got a new watch and some perfume! TJ got some new shirts and a picture frame for his office. Jerrett got some art supplies and some candy. All in all it was a great day! This is another big week. Jerrett's worker from SD is coming down here for a visit. He will be here this evening through Friday. During that time, we have a meeting with our case worker here in town as well as a well baby visit for Jerrett with our family doctor. But we are getting our routine down and Jerrett is doing amazing. He is adjusting quicker than we thought that he would. That includes answering to his new name. He is just an amazing little guy and we are so blessed!
