Is anyone still out there??
Sorry I've been MIA lately! Since getting so involved in Facebook and getting my iPhone, I really don't spend much time on my computer anymore. As a result, my blog has been neglected and I haven't been reading blogs either. I will try to update more frequently, but I can't make any promises!!
Quick update:
The twins are now 10 months old and growing like little weeds! I'm trying to figure out how to make them stop!! They're both pulling up on everything! "Big A" is even cruising and letting go to stand unassisted for long periods of time. He learned how to clap last week and is SO cute when he does it. He's figured out when to clap too and it's adorable!! "Little a" has 7 teeth and is working on #8 as hard as he can! He's not quite as advanced with his gross motor skills but he can click his tongue and has the most adorable smile!!
J turned 5 on April 1st and is constantly asking me if I remember when he was 4! He makes me laugh! He has the most active imagination of all the boys so far and is continually coming up with new characters to be. He's finally warming up to the babies and is doing really well with them. He still loves his cuddle time with Mommy and I try to find little moments to snuggle with him. He's getting very anxious to start Kindergarten in the Fall!
E is our little Artist! His art and craft abilities AMAZE me! He is always drawing, cutting, taping or gluing! He's still a very passionate little boy and we're always trying to figure out how to channel all his energy! He is by far our best eater and LOVES food! I don't know that he's tried anything he doesn't like! Yesterday he lost his first tooth while we were at the pediatricians office! He was SO excited!! He moved his tooth though after going to bed last night and the tooth fairy couldn't find it! So, she snuck in this afternoon while we weren't paying attention and grabbed it! Phew, she's a sneaky little bugger!! LOL!
W is continuing to do very well in school and becoming quite popular! He told me the other day that some of the kids at school were calling him names. When I probed further he told me they said, "The girls think you're sexy!!" LOL!! He loves playing the Wii and is getting into Bakugans. He is so smart and has an amazing memory! He just finished up his last year in Awana Sparks and is really looking forward to starting Truth & Training next year! He is in such a hurry to be a grown up and we're continually trying to get him to slow down and enjoy being a kid! He recently (finally) learned how to ride his bike with out training wheels so when the sun is out we're getting some ride time in!
I am still loving being a stay-at-home-mom! My job has certainly gotten much busier in 8 years, but I wouldn't trade it for the world! My various weekday activities that I'm involved in are coming to a close and I will definitely miss them! But, I have a Ladies Bible Study starting up at the end of the month with my Lifegroup and some of my girlfriends and I will be starting up our book club again, hopefully! I'm still thankful everyday for the amazing blessings God has given me!! I don't think I deserve them, but I'm glad He does!
Chad is still the most amazing man I know!! We will celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary next month and I can't wait!! He is a gifted leader, a loyal friend, a beloved son and a devoted husband and father! We are truly blessed! He spent this past school year as one of the Game Time Leaders in the Awana program we participate in. He's glad the year is over now, but in a couple weeks he'll be ready to get back to it! He has such a great time playing games with all the kiddos! He's recently survived the Microsoft layoffs and for that we're very thankful! He still loves working for Microsoft!
Well, that pretty much updates you on what we've been doing lately! I hope you've enjoyed the update and the pictures! Hopefully it won't be so long next time!!
