I posted this article<\/a> a few weeks ago on Facebook. \u00c2\u00a0It is so true and we so have hit that “sweet spot.” \u00c2\u00a0As I write this Aidan has a friend visiting and they are playing with Legos in his room. \u00c2\u00a0Bren is visiting upstairs, no doubt sharing stories about his day at camp. \u00c2\u00a0I feel like we have time to breath and enjoy our two little young men.<\/p>\n

I spent some time with an old friend this week and her two young daughters. \u00c2\u00a0They are 2 and 4 months. \u00c2\u00a0Really little. \u00c2\u00a0I 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.<\/p>\n

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. \u00c2\u00a0The other day \u00c2\u00a0while it was rainy, Aidan and I had a nice lunch together and then a trip to Barnes and Noble (new Magic Tree House book!!).<\/p>\n

I love that we can just jump in the car and go somewhere, that the kids can enjoy each other. \u00c2\u00a0Its 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. \u00c2\u00a0I 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.<\/p>\n
