So its been nearly a month since my last post/update....needless to say, its been a little busy around here!
I have often referred to our parenting style as "tag team". What I mean by this is that most of the time I have the kids during the day while Chris works and then Chris comes home from work and takes over in the evening/night while I go to coach. It has been this way pretty much since Jake was born. Well, for the past month it seemed like we went to a whole new level of tag team parenting. Over the past 3 weeks or so it has been one of us has had to leave town leaving the other home with all of the kids and then switching. I was out of town two weekends in a row with Chris gone on business before, after, and in between. It has been insane, but somehow we have all managed to survive and the boys have decided its fun to have mom gone because that means more games with dad! And Rylan just seems to go with flow, she's just happy to have her mom or dad there to make her smile and carry her around :-)
As busy as it has been, there really isn't a lot to report. The boys are ready for winter to be over so they can play outside more, Rylan is getting a lot better at crawling and would really like to walk, Chris has been working tons, and I have been a coaching machine - pretty boring stuff. We do have some fun stuff coming up soon though. I have finished up my high school season so since I have more free time we have signed the boys up for swim lessons again for this month and soccer next month. I'm planning to manage AACC again this summer and will soon be busy trying to prepare the pool and staff for the summer. We are still planning to try to move late summer/early fall so we'll start trying to prepare the house to put on the market. Chris will always be busy with work and traveling. And Rylan seems insistent on growing like a weed and moving as much as possible ;) Some fun stuff for sure!

ReplyDeleteI still can't believe Rylan is crawling. I'm sure Tessa will follow in Allie's footsteps and not crawl until 9 months. She has zero interest in lifting her belly up off the floor so far. But I'm not complaining. :)
I totally get the "tag team" method of parenting. It can be really stressful sometimes. I can barely handle it with 1...I can't imagine doing it with 3. Jeff works 24 hour shifts. He leaves at 6am and then comes home just in time the next morning for me to do a hand off and get myself out the door to work. I feel like a single parent most of the week. You just figure it out :) Your kids are really cute!
