Growing up too fast

All week we have been doing the count down to Max's FIFTH BIRTHDAY!!!! I cannot believe he will be FIVE on Sunday. Hurts.my.heart. He is so excited he can't stand it. I love my sweet little boy. He is such a good brother. He usually tolerates Maggie pretty well and actually plays with her. They like to chase each other and play hide-n-go seek. It's so cute, you'll here Maggie calling out "find me, find me". It's SO cute! He doesn't however appreciate when she knocks over his blocks when she is building. But I mean who can blame her - its so much fun to knock over blocks. I remember it being one of Max's favorite games when he was a toddler - so he should actually should be able to relate. ;)
My sweet Max isn't the only one growing up. Maggie is right on his heels. She is talking in full sentences and we can understand her 90% of the time. I have had a really sad (time intensive) case lately. On President's Day, I had to go to work for a conference call. My boss Lisa is amazing. Her office is full of toys. I didn't think anyone would be at the office because of the holiday but it was pretty full. Lisa and Margie came to my rescue and played with the kids. Lisa even took Maggie to the bathroom and she POOPED in the POTTY!!! How sad is it that my baby's first potty milestone was at my office, in a public restroom, WHILE I WAS WORKING?? So thankful for Lisa. She's such a blessing.
After my call, we went bowling for the first time. We had lots of fun. We met Max's friend Micah and his mom. Maggie won - really!! Makes me laugh.
Say a prayer for us this week as Max turns 5! Also say a prayer for these sweet little kids on this case I'm working on - these little ones (like all our kids) could really use it.
HUGS and love!!

Enjoy some pictures!!
