Life Seems to Just Happen

Life seems to be going by without me even noticing right now. Wasn't it just the beginning of September? Our life seems to getting more "normal" for us.  Normal for us has been Matt working two 24 hour-shifts a week along with a 12-hour one as well.  Every week if different, every month is different and October has been one of those months that I think to myself.."what the h _ _ _ are we doing?" He has worked almost every other day for the whole month. November is going to look a lot different.  Thank goodness I am into my second trimester and in a coma state most of the time.  More on pregnancy later. For now here are some pics which I know is what you really want to see anyways.

He is loving to get inside of this and her and sissy fight over it often. 

First day of school..yes, I realize this was in September. Forgive me.  She was so excited and loves
going. She is there three half-days a week. She practically runs in and won't give me a kiss unless I go get one. 

We are blessed to get to see some friends who have been overseas for over 3 years (they are back for a few months).
We spent the whole afternoon with them..eating, at the zoo and hanging out. What a surprise this was. 

We got to go to the stingrays and pet them..M1 loved it; she did not want to touch the little sharks though. 

One day I looked over and M2 had gotten this tomato off of a window and ate the whole thing. 

Gran got to come for a visit as well. It was wonderful to have her. I can't believe I did not get more pictures of her and the kids.  Christmas will have a lot more I am sure.
