Not even sure where to start....began this one on November 15th, 2011....yikes!

Despite by best intentions, I have not been able to post on here in a LOOOONG time.  My life is so busy these days and there doesn't ever seem to be any down time.  Up at 4:30 or 5:00, shower, dress, get ready for work, nurse the boys, hang out with them, and out of the house at 7.  Work until 5, pick them up from mom's, home at 6:15.  Feed them dinner, eat dinner ourselves, entertain the boys, bath at 7:30, nurse them by 8, in bed by 9.   That is my typical Monday - Friday routine.  Saturday and Sunday's are a little different, but still up by 5, shower and dress, hang with the boys, Scott off to the gym, feed the boys, laundry, clean the house, grocery store, errands, lunch, naps, get dinner ready, college football, play with the boys, dinner, bath, nurse, bed, and bed by 10.  Up at 5, get ready for church, 9am mass, home by 10:30 or 11, begin  making baby food, finish laundry and cleaning, naps, lunch, playtime, naps, dinner, play, bath, nurse.

So, using the computer isn't really in my schedule. When I do sit down to use the computer, TJ is clawing at it, trying to use it for himself. 

What are the boys up to??? 
September...beach trip with Nana and Pop Hogan to visit Uncle Paul, Aunt Alli, Decky, and No Name Hogan.  The boys did great on the ride, loved the water, loved their cousin...great trip.  I am so thankful that Paul got a job that brought him close to home.  I love the 6 hour drive and the ability to see them more regularly.
October....first flight...trip to NY to visit the Heckelman's, Hogan's, and Crescenzo's.  It was a great time.  The boys did GREAT on the flight, just a little meltdown due to being wayyyy over tired.  We had so much fun...Aunt Margaret's 30th birthday party, hanging with all of their cousins, and seeing all of my family.  I haven't been to NY in 3 years, so it was long overdue.
Halloween....too cute.  TJ was dressed as a monkey because he is crazy like a monkey and Matthew we dressed as a cow because his nickname is "Matty Moo".  They were adorable and we had a great time with Nana and Pop.
November - November first, Matthew's 1st tooth appeared and TJ followed 2 days later with his.  Less than a week later each of them had the other bottom tooth in as well.  It was a rough couple of weeks though.  Two teething babies coupled with Daylight Savigings....yikes...they were up at 4:30 daily ready to party.  For two weeks Scott and I averaged about 2 hours of sleep per night.  It was so pitiful watching these two.  They were in such pain, and there was nothing I could do about it.  Tylenol helped, but not enough.  They are now through the worst of it....until the next bunch  start coming in.

Matthew 7 Months

TJ 7 months

For my birthday the boys came to school to have lunch with me, which was awesome and then we went out to dinner that night. The boys were great in the restaurant..they love flirting with the ladies and smiling at everyone they meet.
