I haven't blogged in forever...literally. Seems like it was either 1 of 2 reasons not too...
1. I didn't know what to say.
2. J totally consumes me.
So, I'll give a little summery of life in the 3-Child fast lane.
J was born 10August. With a few minor problems finally fixed he's a growing (PRECIOUS) boy who is all smiles and the absolute JOY of his parents heart. NOTHING warms me more than when all my kiddos curl up on the couch (usually because the girls are fighting over who gets to hold him).
The Bug started PreK this year going 2 days a week. She totally proved me wrong by loving it, and is too cute when she wakes up knowing its a school day. Just pure Joy beams out of her. She's learning to write and I see how I haven't worked with her as much as the Oldest, Opps on my part, but She's so laid back she doesn't even mind. She's smart, funny and just beautiful inside and out.
The Princess (or so SHE thinks) is in Kindergarten this year...although the curriculum I purchased is 1st grade work. She's zooming through it and reading like a pro (in my opinion). She's amazing and although she's abit bored with homeschooling (because she's not constantly socializing) she's learning so much and I'm really enjoying it too.
We're finally getting on a schedule (after the last 12 weeks of chaos) and things seem to be calming down for us. All this just in time to load up the car and head to Ohio for a week. Parts of me what to just stay here in our routine, but mostly I want to introduce our little guy to the family. Another part of me doesn't want to go because that Void that is there will seem even larger now that J is here. How big is that elephant in the room?? Busting out the walls!!
The Hero of the house is doing great...he was recently the Site Lead while they were bringing in a new guy, and now he's training that guy (so to speak). We were blessed with him not having to deploy this December like (threatened) we were told. Thank you, God for things changing. We don't know when the next one is...but we have time on our hands right now.
After have J I recovered quickly and was feeling great...then all of a sudden I've started having pain, and a lot of it. I am trying to figure out what it is...who knows. I run my 1st 5k in a year next Saturday. Super excited about that!! I've also tackled the "cloth diapering" saga. We're doing very well there, and although we don't do it exclusively, everyone I don't put on his is one not in a landfill, so I feel great about that!!! I, myself, have only purchased 2 boxes of diapers since J's arrival! That's nice!!
That's us in a nutshell...maybe I'll remember to start this back up!
