Getting back into the swing of things

Its been about 2 weeks now that Gaetan has been back to school with everything involved... teaching, grading, driving, the like.  And obviously, for about 2 weeks I haven't blogged... wonder if there's a correlation!

I think that Tristan has adjusted well to Gaetan not being around all the time.  I just tell him that he's at school, and that he'll be back later, and that seems to be a sufficient enough explanation for the 2 yr old.  And things have been going well for me taking care of both kids.  The only hard time is when they wake up pretty close to each other, and I'm trying to feed Lucy and Tristan has to potty or something.  That gets a little hairy, but we figure it out ;)

Lucy is getting bigger and bigger.  She is a rolling machine and is almost pulling herself to the crawling position.  It's so nice to see how much Tristan wants to help her out.  The other day she was upset and I went into her room and I found Tristan with his arms through her crib patting her butt and giving her her pipe... (which are the things that we do to calm her down).  It was very cute.  She LOVES watching him play.  I know that they are going to be quite the team when she is able to play more with him.

Tristan is talking a lot more now too.  And he has such personality when he says things... its pretty interesting.  It shows how much he watches us, observes and then does it.  Can be kinda scary....

On a different note, we did find a townhouse to move into.  I believe that we will be there maybe as early as mid-October, but hopefully no later then the end of the year.  That will be another change, but I think that we can handle it!  I know that its time to get our own space... and I think that we found a nice place to go with the kids.  Kalamazoo is pretty ghetto, but we found a place in Portage.  I know that Tristan would've loved to play on the big hill at Mom and Dad's, but that's what the weekends are for :)

Days just fly by now.  Don't know where the time goes!  Lucy acts like shes growing some teeth so she hasn't been sleeping the obscene amount of hours she usually does... but I still enjoy the girl time.  :)  Even if that does mean I only sleep a few hours a day.  Wouldn't trade it for the world.

I'm sure there are other things that have gone on, but I'm pretty tired and not thinking real straight... so I will hopefully get a chance to write more soon.
