Other highlights:
- We switched from infant car seats to the convertible car seats. They look little again since the seats are bigger! I was worried about logistics of getting 2 kids in the car (when there's only 1 adult) but it has been pretty easy. You just do what you need to do!
- We had to say goodbye to our cat Nala. :( We got her when she was just a kitten and she was only 7 1/2 years old. We found out a few weeks ago she had a tumor and she was not going to get better.

- The boys came to my school orchestra concert. The "big kids" loved seeing them. Tyler sat through the whole concert very content. Kyle got a little fussy and had to go out in the hall and during intermission he was climbing the risers in the front.
