April 22nd

I apologize for taking so long to post this. We have been outside as much as possible. It hasn't helped us getting the kids to bed any earlier but they are much happier. We were at the "far away park" as Clare calls it and I watched Will climb a wall similar to a climbing wall. He amazes me everyday. No hesitation, he just did it and didn't look back! Clare was off as soon as we pulled up. She is always up for whatever whenever!!!
Our big 5 year anniversary is this weekend. Hard to believe, it has really gone fast. We don't have a babysitter :( I called probably 8 people, but it's a bad weekend anyway. Proms, last week of some colleges, etc. So, we are going to celebrate it with the kids and maybe celebrate it when we are in Chicago together. We are going for 2 NIGHTS away from the kids for a conference, which is going to kill me, but I think it will be good for everyone. The kids need time away from me and I need time away from them. I am looking forward to meeting up with Ba and Jen for lunch or something! I haven't seen Ba in a year and Jen since probably our wedding!
Clare is all geared up for her birthday! She is getting a bike, a helmet, and that is all I know of so far. It's crazy how she is starting to get big girl stuff. It makes me sad, it's one step closer to preschool then school.
Well, have a great day!
