Well it's been over a year since my last post which is kind of ridiculous.  I'm not sure where to even start....


The boys are coming up on birthday #4 in about 3 months and life is getting crazier all the time it seems.  We've enrolled them in swim lessons that will take place in June and we'll be starting preschool this fall.  (Which is scary in it's own right.)  We'll probably see if they're interested in a sport this fall as well.


This past year hasn't been too eventful.  After their eye surgeries last year they both received new RX and frames.  The frames have been more than frustrating.  Luckily we chose the frames with life time warranty because we're at the office getting them repaired and replaced at least every other month. 

Liam hasn't had to have any eye patching since the surgery and his eyes are doing outstanding.  He willingly wears his glasses and really I couldn't ask for a better 3 year old in glasses.

Coen has had to patch since the surgery to help strengthen his weaker eye.  So for the past year he's had to patch.  At first it was 4 hours every day but his eye is doing better so we're down to 2 hours 5 days a week.  He also wears his glasses willingly but if anything... even a single speck of anything gets on them, he has to take them off to be cleaned.  :)  He is very particular about the cleanliness of his glasses.

They have their check up in June and I'm hoping and praying that his eye is up to par and that we won't have to patch any more.


Coen and Liam both ride their tricycles very well.  Milo and I are thinking about upgrading them to bikes with training wheels for their birthday this year.  We saw some bikes outside of Wal-Mart and they basically flipped out with excitement... so a 'big boy bike' will have to come soon.

We recently got them scooters.  Liam had been begging for a skateboard... I said 'no way' so we compromised on a scooter.  Liam has great balance so we got him a standard 2 wheel one and he does really great with it.  The first time he lost his balance he was upset for a few days and decided that he no longer liked it, but he quickly got over that fear and hopped back on.  Coen's balance is not so great.. I mean he is only 3, so we opted for the smaller 3 wheeled scooter that he doesn't' have to balance.  He loves it.  They often will switch and try out the others, so I'm glad we have the option for them to use both.

We also recently found out they like tennis.  They haven't actually played but if you toss a ball to them they will (most of the time) hit it with the racket.  They think that is a blast and it's a fairly good workout for me, since I usually have to go chase after the balls.  :)


In the past I've always been concerned with their speech.  I've always thought they were behind and maybe they were but I don't think we really have to worry too much about that now.  They talk ALL THE TIME.  Which I love.  I love to hear the things they come up with and how their imaginations work.  Today Liam said to me.  "Mama, I'm old.  I can ride a motorcycle now."  (If you can't tell by now, Liam will definitely be the risk taker of the two.)
They both love saying their prayers over food.  Usually we have to wait so they both have the opportunity to say a prayer.


Another love of theirs is Sunday School.  (Manon, I don't know what all you do, but my boys talk non-stop about going to Sunday School.)


Well, I know there's more but I need to wrap this up.  Hopefully it won't be another year before I post.  We have swim lessons and a week of camping coming up in 2 months so hopefully I will remember to actually post how it all goes.
