Back to Work

I'm back to work fulltime, hence the decrease in pictures and posts. Dan has been home with the boys and it is going very well. They like his cooking and he takes them to the park and such. Probably more fun than Mama.
After a rough day on Saturday, Juan has had a couple of good days. He was really only in trouble for riding his big wheel where he wasn't supposed to today. He took his punishment of not riding anymore today and sitting quietly for a few minutes very well. He didn't even throw a fit when Andres rode it. That's even more amazing.
Maicol is using more and more English. He really wants to learn. We now know what some of the words and phrases are we repeat frequently. :) We obviously say "careful" a lot. He and Dan went bike riding this morning. He really loves it. The warm weather we've had has really been great. We get to go outside and play everyday. I hate to think about winter and very cold days when we can't go out.
Andres is still doing pretty good with the potty training. Only one accident or so a day. He is such a mimic of his older brothers. If only we could get them to realize that and want to be good big brothers. We keep telling them that they are good brothers when they do something kind to each other and that good brothers to this or that. When Jonathan is over I need to make more of a big deal about how good a brother he is and what he does.
I took a few pictures tonight and added them. I have a few more I'd like to add if someone (Bethany) would send them to me. :) I'm off to work again tomorrow, so pray that the "boys" have a good day together.
