Here's a completely random family update.
Caleb's been working 12-12 for the past week and a half so our mornings are spent soaking up time with him because by the time he gets home the kids are of course sleeping. They kind of hate this schedule, i'm not a huge fan of it myself, we miss dinners and bedtime with him. It's not about the hours because we're definitely used to long days (thanks marines,) It's just the actual time of the hours when kids are involved. But i'm so incredibly proud of him. He's doing awesome in the academy and these 2 weeks are most likely the most challenging of the academy and he's still doing great. 12 more weeks until we get to celebrate his graduation and we can't wait! And i'll just squeeze in one more time that I am so so proud of him!
Casen is still being Casen :) I don't think there's any major changes going on for him. He's growing like a weed and getting wayy too smart. His current favorite things are Spiderman, stickers, and any animal books. Now that we've been settled for awhile he's turned into such a young gentleman. We're no longer having trouble with his sleep or attitude and it is awesome to just be able to enjoy our little man. He's also an awesome big brother. He shares whatever he has and helps whenever he can.
Arya...not sure where to begin with our crazy little lady. She is such a social butterfly. She says hi to literally everyone she sees, stranger or not. She is sleeping through the night (hallelujah.) She has been for months now, but it just makes a world of difference for me to get solid hours of sleep, even if it's only for 5 hours. She eats pretty much everything except steak, strawberries, and french fries. She is talking quite a bit more now. Her newest words are chicken, drop, and cute. She is a little spitfire. She has a temper that Casen never had at this age, so i'm really hoping she's getting it all out of her system now. We love our little lady and the fact that she loves wearing her sunglasses upside down. She adds the perfect amount of spunk to our house.
That's about it around here. I still have 2 more rooms to share to continue with the unfinished room, but I have to get the playroom in presentable picture mode first :)
We're making backyard plans for a fence and a fireplace and all that summery goodness so hopefully i'll be able to post about that soon as well.
And here's some random pics of the kiddos, because that's usually all anyone looks for anyways

:) Thanks for this post. I am glad to hear the academy is going so well....not surprised because he always does well with the 'close to impossible.'
So proud of all of you and how well you adapt to the difficult hours and changes. You all do it so well :) The kids are growing like crazy! I love all your updates! Thanks for keeping up even in the midst of the craziness! :)
