Six months

So wow, it is December already and the babies are about to be six months old!  I cannot express to you how fast the six months have gone by for us.  I wanted to do a little recap of our Summer and Fall before I forget it all.  Luckily, I have photos to jog my memory!

The summer was filled with bottles, pumping and then nursing, nursing, nursing.  The big boys spent time playing with friends and family after the twins were born and finally six weeks into the babies lives I had to take care of all my children flying solo.  I will admit the big boys spent their time between playing in the water hose in the backyard and watching movies.  I was in survival mode and as long as everyone was fed I did not care what the boys did to keep themselves busy. 



First day of school for Cooper and Marshall's first day of pre-school
Suddenly, September was around the corner and I had to seriously figure out what to do because we were sticking with our decision to home school.  Luckily, I spent most of my pregnancy getting ready so I would just have to pick it up and start.  I set the Monday after Labor Day as our first day and only had a small panic attack on Katy ISD's first day of school.  So Cooper and I began our big adventure together in September and we have had so much fun learning the last couple of months.  We have one more week of work before we take our Winter break.  I could not be more proud of him and how hard he has worked.  I am looking forward to adding in some more enrichment type things in January now that the babies are on a more regular schedule.  Marshall is having fun at Yellow Brick Road on Tuesdays and Thursday.   
Snack time!
The big boys both played soccer in the Fall and really enjoyed practice time and their games.  Marshall started out a little shy but overcame it and by the end of the season was scoring goals.  Cooper showed lots of hustle and loved the non-stop action.  They are both looking forward to playing t-ball in the Spring.
