What a Week

School started back up this week. The whole weekend before and the week itself was filled with activities. On Sunday we went to the campus block party (a barbecue with all the students/faculty/staff). There were inflatables and lots of food, the boys loved it. We're both very excited and relieved that the beginning of the school year went smoothly.

My mother-in-law was also here visiting from Sunday to Thursday. The boys really enjoyed spending time with her (I forgot to take a picture of them all together). She is coming back to visit in about 2 weeks, so I'll try to remember next time.
Tuesday was my birthday. We had already celebrated, but Mark still took me to lunch on the actual day. I also got a card from some of my students. They wrote out a message using candy and stuff to spell out part of the message. I've never been given a handmade card like this, so it was super special! I love those girls very much.
My oldest spent the night last night with his cousin at Granny/Pa's house. Mark and I took advantage of our time without one of the kids with us and we ended up going to Lincoln and doing some shopping and eating at our favorite place. We took my youngest with us which turned out to be nice spending alone time with him. He seemed to enjoy coming along for the ride. We picked my oldest up from his sleepover mid-saturday morning. He asked to sleep over at their house every weekend.
We had a party tonight to announce the gender of the baby. My dad made balloons (for the kids) and we made our cupcakes. My parents grilled out and we all sat around and talked. We took a video of the big reveal moment. I'll be posting the pictures of it and video of it all later tonight.

It was a wonderful week!
