Decided this morning that I need a way of keeping track of all of the wonderful things the boys are doing so that one day I can look back and remember all of their funny stories and milestones.  In eight months they've all gone through so many changes and I feel like I will never be able to remember them all.  I find myself wanting to record our daily lives (well, some parts of it) in order to store up all of these memories.

The hold up is thinking whether I really have the time to do this..but if I don't at least try another eight months will go by and I will still only have photos to help jog the memory.  So...here it goes.

June 2012...The boys came to live with us eight months ago.  That obviously was a HUGE change for Rob and I both.  Its been filled with many ups and downs (but mostly ups!).  Going from no children to three was quite a schedule adjustment and the learning curve for figuring it all out has been quite large.  When they arrived Alex was 4 1/2, Junior was 2 (33 months), and Noe was 1 (16 months).

Right from the start they called us Mommy and Daddy.  They ate everything in sight and slept like angels.  At first Noe, who was walking and could already feed himself, would basically stand in whatever spot you placed him in and just watch his two brothers in whatever they were doing.  He is probably the biggest reason I want to start this blog.  Because of his age he is the one whose changed the most.  He's gone from basically no vocabulary to in the last few weeks repeating everything he hears and stringing together words.  Matter of fact I think I will do a separate post on him.  (Stay Tuned).

So in eight months there sure are a lot of stories that I may choose to go back and document but basically our life has been a whirlwind and I am just now finding a few brief moments to breathe, reflect, and jot some of the stories down.
