long naps for the boys and my case cancelling yesterday because the lil guy was sick gave us an impromptu park adventure. the air was still warm, but it didn't deter us. we walked as a family and were graced with a quiet park. we were the only ones there. and so caleb climbed and chatted. lucas watched and smiled. dave pushed and chased. i snapped pictures and soaked up our family time together. it was the perfect way to end a good monday.

sweet sleep.
life seems to have settled down for a bit, finally. we have our appointments all set up for caleb later this month and next. lucas is sleeping like a dream 12-13 hours at night now without waking up and needing us in the night, when we lay in him in the crib at night he doesn't cry at all anymore, he just curls up with his little lovey friend. this is a wonderful thing. i love sleeping and i love that both boys are finally sleeping so good. but i'm still nervous at night that one or both boys will wake up...we're still in new sleep land with lucas and caleb's been doing great with the door closed once again :) (why did we wait so long with the door again?? his melt downs basically stopped as soon as we closed his door at night and his nighttime sleep went back to normal! he is totally back to his happy self! oh sleep. caleb you have always needed your sleep!! even if you fight it the most!)
anyway.. i'm about ready to click the 'register' button for a half marathon in october in morgan hill....after all the back and forth it is easier to do a race locally instead of down in slo so that the boys can be there and we don't have to try and figure out night time camping/hotel reservations, yadiiya. so the training is um...kinda starting. the longest run i've with my running friend is 4 miles (since our 10k)...so hopefully this weekend we'll do our long run and our 3 mile runs will hopefully get faster. work is good for dave. and life seems a little more smooth sailing once again. it finally feels like summer for me. hot. sprinklers. barefeet. warm summer mornings and evenings. i've been relaxing in the swing outside while the boys play. we're done with all the apts. and busy-ness that that the past couple months have given us. and it is nice. oh so nice. for however long it lasts, i'm thankful for the peaceful place we are at right now. all those hard, busy, stressful, tearful moments of the past couple months make me so appreciate these calmer days.
