Fun with Daddy

Being away from Jake for two months, was so hard for Jack & Henry.  They did enjoy lots of time with grandparents, aunts/uncles, & sweet friends while we were home, but nothing replaces time with daddy!

I have some fun pictures of the boys at the park with Jake, but they are on my phone.  Here are a few from around the house!

Three month hiatus and new rental house

By some time next week it will be THREE months since I have blogged!  I have a tiny excuse, but really I could've probably done it if I had made it a priority.  The first week of March, the boys and I headed back to Ooltewah for a couple months to visit family/friends.  It was refreshing and fabulous to be home! BUT, Jake was still here in Hawaii, which cause me to be a solo parent for two months.  Although we had tons of fun while we were home I barely even thought about getting the camera out.  Blogging had to go on the back burner for awhile.  So here we are back in Hawaii again and hoping to keep you guys updated on our lives!

While I was gone, Jake moved rental houses with Art & Becky.  It's still fairly close to the other house, so that has helped me still be familiar with the roads/stores in this area.  Here is a little peek at where we will be staying until the end of June. 

 Our room, bathroom and closet

Overlooking part of the downstairs living area - sorry it's so dark!  I know it's hard to believe but I actually took a little photography class while I was home....guess I should've taken more notes!

This is the boys' play area. 

The boys' room - note Henry is sleeping in a Big boy bed!  He barely made it the first night sleeping in the pack-n-play.  We didn't want to spend every night putting him back in, so we just moved on to the twin! Jack has really liked having a roommate! (Yes I do put sheets on their beds, but this was an impromptu nap one afternoon.  Those are pretty common when you are making a 6 hour time change!)

I left out pictures of Will's room, Frank's room, Mr. Miller's room, two laundry rooms, several bathrooms, sitting areas, and the front of the house. I am already tired after looking at these pictures so I didn't think you'd want to see it all in one post!
