maybe we should move????

If you keep up with my blog you'll remember the night Brye saw two young men sitting in his truck at 1:00 am. Well, yesterday as I was getting ready to go shopping with Jennifer I heard a loud noise followed by a house alarm. Didn't think anything of it, house alarms go off regularly in our neighborhood. About 15 minutes later we were loading up the kids and I saw two police cars driving slowly down my street. Jennifer asked if they were that cautious with house alarms and I said I thought so. I opened the garage door, loaded the stroller, went inside with the garage door and house door open to grab the kids. We got in and backed out of the driveway. When we got to the end of the drive there was a female copy scaling my fence with her gun drawn! She motioned for us to go, so we did. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw another police man about two houses down in the alley with his gun drawn. As I exited the alley the road was blocked to the left by a police car and I was instructed by the officer to go right. As I went right both ends of the block were blocked by a police car and there were two other cars in the middle of the block. I was instructed to leave the neighborhood and had to drive into the neighbors yard (sorry) to go around the police car. Jennifer looked behind us and saw another officer in the bushes with a rifle. We were quite freaked out and decided to call the police department to see if they would tell us anything. We played it off as we were unsure if we could return home. The officer on the phone told me that there was an incident with a gun and to not return home and I could call back in about 30 minutes. Well, we were out for hours and the excitement was over before we returned so I didn't get any more information. Well, as luck would have it, the next day as we were eating lunch, the same officer who blocked me in was in there. We got up the nerve to go over and ask him if he was the officer who made me drive through the grass on Blue Spruce. Sure enough it was. He said, sorry and that he would have moved his car but at that exact moment everything started happening. I asked the officers. jokingly if I was going to be okay or should I pack up and move. They laughed and said I was fine and it was just some kids horsing around. I made a comment that I was glad and was afraid it was a domestic violence case and they assured me it wasn't. A little too much excitement in Pine Ridge Estates in the past two months.

Where have I been?

I honestly feel like I have no life these days. These two little boys that I love dearly are taking up every second of my life, even the ones in the shower. The other day I had Beau on his play mat in the bathroom floor and Bex was just hanging out in the bathroom with us, as he always does. I glanced over and saw Bex dragging Beau across the floor by the arm. My panicked scream was enough to scare Bexley into a panic himself and there has been no more of that going on.
Don't get me wrong, Bexley does love his baby brother, he's just not sure yet how to "touch" him. We are working very hard on soft touches and hard touches and he is really getting the hang of it. He loves to kiss Beau on the mouth, which can be anything but sanitary by a two year old, but how can I say no.
Beau is doing great and getting so big already. He eats great and sleeps great and I have no complaints. I really didn't think God would give me two perfect babies, "Thank You, Jesus!"
I am getting used to juggling the two and I don't know if its a good thing that Bexley is learning to buckle his own carseat or not but it sure does help. Shopping carts sure are giving me fits. If they were all double wides like Sam's we would be good to go. Bexley is a great kid but the freedom of the isle in Target is too much temptation. Luckily Market Street has those mini carts for kids and he does great with those until my Achilles tendon is so bruised I can hardly walk.
We've had lots of company over the past month and it has all been great. Thanks everyone for coming and helping. We've also had dinners brought and lots of gifts. Everyone has been awesome. Hopefully now that things have settled down a bit and Beau is in a good routine, I'll be able to keep up with my posts.
