It is amazing how the tiniest things can make your day. Like watching your child experience something for the first time or hearing them tell you about their day.
In true Freeman boy fashion whenever I ask Christopher how pre-school was he says fine. When I ask what he did he says "I don't know!" Then when I ask my friend Summer, whose daughter Sierra is in Christophers class, what does Sierra say about school her answer is that Sierra gives her a run down of the entire day. I guess that is the difference between girls and boys. The sweetest thing ever is that the other day Christopher thanked me for getting him Baby Ryan. It was so honest and sincere it just broke my heart.
Ryan is still not crawling, but is extreemly close to it. Every now and then Christopher shows him how its done but Ryan is more interested in grabing on to Christophers hair and not letting go which amazingly is one of Christophers favorite things to do with his brother. Things are getting better with Ryan and hopefully some day very soon he will be back to his normal self.
Christopher is screaming for me I guess our jobs are never done!

My First Blog
Well Mike has asked me about doing this ever since he saw Erin Burns blog so after just reading another one of her posts I have decided to give this whole blogging thing a try. I don't know how many people want to hear about our crazy family but here goes anyway.
I guess I will start off by saying that my life is pretty crazy right now. People warned me but like with the first child you have no idea what two will be like until that second child is born. Mike helps when he is home but I definitely could not do this with out my mother, who helps me at least a coulpe times a week. I think Christopher wishes he could live with his Nanna because almost every morning when he wakes up he asks to go see her. At times I am definitely tempted to pack his things and leave him on her doorstep.
At 3 1/2 Christopher is constantly challenging and amazing me daily. He loves his baby brother but does not like it when he cries. The other day while walking into the doctors office he looked up at me and said "thank you for getting me a new baby brother mommy!" It is moments like that one that make all the frustration worth it. Christopher has recently started school, which we both love. He loves playing with his friends and learning new things and I love that it gives me time alone with Ryan. He is so smart and so intrested in how everything works it so fun to see his love of learning and discovering new things. Christopher also loves to hang out with all of his girlfriends, we are hoping he will find some boys to play with now that he is in school but in the mean time he loves all his little girlfriends. Although we don't see them very much he is constantly asking about Megan Burns and her name has appeared in our nightly prayers on more than one occasion. Then there is Sahar who he loves dearly and one of the few girls who gives him a run for his money and won't take any of his crap. He has many other friends but none who seem to take to him the way these two do.
Ryan is now almost five months and he is attempting to do everything earlier than his big brother did. He now has 2 teeth, the first he got at 3 1/2 months, her rolls all over the place and is working on scooting around as well. I was hoping that maybe this time I would have a child that wasn't so eager to be mobile. Maybe next time.LOL For the most part Ryan is a pretty easy going baby and spends most of his awake time laughing and smiling at his big brother.
Then there is Mike, god bless him, he works his butt off so that I can stay at home and raise our boys. He puts a roof over our heads and provides us with everything we need to take care of our family. He works such long hours but is rewarded at the end of the day when Christopher welcomes him home and begs him to go swimming no matter how late it is. We don't get much alone time but hey that will come in about 18 years, right?
It is time to wrap up my first blog and I thank you for sharing in my joy, trials and tribulations of this crazy thing we call our family.
