Weekend

Mark started RA training for all his new residence life team last Thursday night. He is in charge of a 5 day training that runs till Tuesday morning, which basically means that he is gone 12+ hours a day till Tuesday. I've been doing pretty good with the boys by myself, just keeping busy and making sure we have plenty to do.

On Saturday my parents were gracious enough to take me and the boys to Lincoln for most the day. Mark made breakfast for all his RA people around 8:30 a.m. and then was going to be busy with training stuff till 8:00 that night, so we were glad to get out of the house.

My parents took me shopping for my birthday most the day (my birthday is next week). And we went back to school shopping also. We had lunch at my favorite place, Braeda. The boys both fell asleep on the way home after a long day.

This morning we headed to church (although we were 15 minutes late for class...). The boys did okay during church. I took them to lunch with Mark and his RAs. The cafe on campus fed them all so we got to go along for the ride. It was steak, green beans, and baked potatoes! So good! (I can tell this new cafeteria plan they have is going to be awesome)

While we were at lunch, my youngest was walking around the table and his pants and diaper fell down when he stepped on his pant leg. He kinda fell over and everyone got a shot of him without pants/diaper. It definitely made a funny 1st impression to the new RAs that don't know our kids. Everyone laughed and thought it was hilarious.

This week starts the beginning of a lot of school-related activities. Our schedules are packed the next 8-9 days with the beginning of school. I like the start of a new schoolyear, but I like it more when the beginning is over and we have time to breathe. I keep telling myself that it is only 9 days of meetings/orientation/students moving in/etc, only 9 days and then life can be somewhat normal again. Luckily Nanny Thana is back from summer break and is coming to watch the boys Tuesday-Friday while Mark and I go to about 57 meetings (when I say 57, I mean about 12-13:) The boys are excited for her to come back and they always have a good time when she is here.

That is about all I have for an update. I'm looking forward to this coming weekend when we get to tell our family the gender of the new baby! (the weekend is the first time we can all get together) I'm hoping to remember to take a video of it.

Hope you had a good weekend!
