I posted this article a few weeks ago on Facebook.  It is so true and we so have hit that “sweet spot.”  As I write this Aidan has a friend visiting and they are playing with Legos in his room.  Bren is visiting upstairs, no doubt sharing stories about his day at camp.  I feel like we have time to breath and enjoy our two little young men.

I spent some time with an old friend this week and her two young daughters.  They are 2 and 4 months.  Really little.  I almost forgot what it was like to have the stroller, the snacks, the diapers, the wipes, the energy to chase after a toddler and talk over a sad baby.

Instead last weekend while Aidan was out with a friend, we went to the park with Brendan where he rode his bike and flew a kite.  The other day  while it was rainy, Aidan and I had a nice lunch together and then a trip to Barnes and Noble (new Magic Tree House book!!).

I love that we can just jump in the car and go somewhere, that the kids can enjoy each other.  Its sad how quickly time passes, and some days I do miss them as little boys- but I am loving these ages and all the fun we have.  I am also loving living their experiences with them and seeing how excited they get about all the new things they are now big enough to see and do.
