Will at 4 weeks

Will Thomas is 4 weeks old!

I can't believe Will was born 4 weeks ago today. In some ways it seems that we just came home from the hospital yesterday. Other ways it seems much longer than 4 weeks. Will is gaining weight now as he should & is starting to fill out more. Shawn commented this weekend that he felt more solid. He's still a huge Mamma's boy but is letting Dad hold him more often. I'm still adjusting to life with 2 kids & not being able to do things when I want to--like go to the bathroom! He's still a sweety.

Shea is doing GREAT at school. Last Friday was open house & Will & I went. We met with her teacher, Mrs. Nicki, & Shea showed me items they've been working on thus far into the school year. I'm impressed with what she knows, since she doesn't share her knowledge with me when she gets home. There was a drawing we entered to win a prize & Shea won! She had it in hand when I went to pick her up today. Our neighbor Matt won the jar full of suckers.

On Saturday we took the kids to the zoo. It was fun, but none of us felt well. Shawn & I both got these intense headaches & Shea...got the flu! It was going around her pre-school & I thought we were going to avoid it, no such luck. She is better now but did miss soccer on Sunday.

A big thank you to Jen & Barry who made Shawn & I go out Friday night for a couple of hours of adult time. Around 8 we took the kids to the Kuck house & then we went into London. We went to a bar, had a drink & a bite to eat & conversation! We enjoyed it & didn't realize we actually needed it.

As I type this Will fell asleep on me. Maybe now I can accomplish a few things around here!
