vacations!

I am sad to report that our annual Mexico vacation will not happen this year! Jon's friend Steve has been laid off and they have decided to not vacation this year due to t!hat. I know that there will be lots of other time for us to go, but I am still sad. It is always so relaxing and fun, I was really looking forward to it! So instead, Jon and I are taking Will to the Wisconsin Dells. I think that Will is going to love it. We are staying at a resort that has a huge indoor waterpark and playground with tons of activities for him to enjoy. Also, this weekend we are going to Indianapolis to take Will to the zoo. It is fun now that he is getting to the age that he can enjoy things like that.

He loves going to the park and being outside. Every morning he brings me his shoes and points to the door. If he has to stay inside all day he is not a happy camper. It is getting hard for me though, being six months pregnant I am not moving as fast as I was so I have a hard time keeping up with him. He is really fast! I love to make him happy so we try to get out at least once a day. He is funny to watch because he is discovering so many new things that the excitement on his face just shines. He has learned to go down the slides at the park by himself and you can tell that he is so proud of himself. He even gives himself a round of applause after! It is hilarious how he claps for himself after he does pretty much anything. He is also getting really good at hitting the ball off of the tee. Which makes daddy very proud! Jon has really been working with him on how to hold the bat and how to throw the ball. He does pretty well for only being 15 months! He is always throwing the ball to Riley and bringing it to me so I can throw it for him. It is funny how much he loves Riley. As much as the dog drives me crazy I cant imagine not having him around, soley for the reason that he keeps Will so entertained!

So far my pregnancy has been going really well. I am almost 24 weeks already and so far I have no major complaints besides the normal aches and pains that come from chasing a toddler all day. I guess I dont have to worry about gaining too much weight! Will has been having some really bad days from his molars coming in, and on those days I wonder how I am mentally going to be able to cope with having two boys. He exhausts me so much now, I am praying that the Lord can give me more energy to deal with both of them. I have decided that He must have been having an off day when he made it so that children have so much more energy than thier parents! It should be the other way around!

Well, with much to look forward to in the future all I can do is take it day by day and enjoy Will as much as I can before his baby brother comes and ruins the world as he knows it! Thank God for vacations and time to get away from everyday life!
