Mar. 23, 2007 - Update on Noah and other such happenings in my life...
I am blogging on behalf of my sister's (twmcrm2001) request. I really am not much of a writer. God just didn't give me that talent or desire. Just like he didn't give me much musical talent either. Cassandra (twmcrm2001) is very talented in this area along with my youngest sister, Bethany. My other sister, Courtnie, also plays and has gotten quite good. She just had to work a little harder than Cassandra or Bethany had to. I would've had to of really worked at it too, I just didn't have the desire like she did or does. I do really enjoy sewing though. I really had to work at it to get any good. The difference between my sewing and music (playing the piano) is I always and still do have the desire to get better at sewing. I have much room for improvement! Anyway, enough of that. My main, real reason for not blogging lately is a lack of interesting things going on. I don't want to bore everyone. My life is pretty slow and unexciting. My hubby has been working allot of hours and my kids and I have been alone from 5 a.m. until about 8 p.m. We haven't had much money for gas or anything else so I pretty much have been staying in the house. Plus, taking out three boys under the age of four isn't an easy task. :) We are also new to the area so I am lacking in the friends department. We've been here going on four months and I still have yet to make one friend. Which is fine- life had been a little crazy with all of Noah's 'issues'. Now that everything is settling down though I am getting anxious to settle into a church and start making some life-long friends.
I am so excited that the cold weather is finally ending and spring is on it's way (it's officially here according to the calendar). My morale is always higher in the Spring and Summer. I love warm weather! Cold weather just makes me grouchy! Being trapped in the house with three little ones is hard for me. My honey usually tends to work ALLOT, finances always seem to be tighter (less people wanting to buy or re-do kitchens in the winter), and it also seems like we just plain have more 'minor travesties' during the dark, cold, winter months. This may all be in my head or it all may be 'coincidences', but needless to say I am overly thrilled about the upcoming warm months. Also coming up is the Home school conference. I have been looking forward to this for awhile. My mother is still teaching my youngest sister (she is a freshman) so I am going with her to a conference in Peoria, Illinois. It should be allot of fun and I'm anxious to buy Jonathan's first years schoolwork. I'm looking forward to 'officially' starting school with him, but also very nervous. The whole teaching him how to read and write thing makes me anxious. He is pretty strong-willed and sometimes our personalities clash. I am just praying the Lord will give me the patience get the job done.
Austin (my 2 1/2 year old) is officially potty-trained! Wa-ho for Austin! I really didn't do a whole lot with him. He just kind of trained himself. I had been working on it off and on, but it wasn't until he decided he was going to be a 'big boy' that he stopped having 'accidents'. It was pretty much an overnight thing. He had an accident a week ago at my mom's and since then has been dry- even during the night! He even takes himself ( 'Me do it, me do it, mommy...")! I bought a package of pull-ups last week and I don't think I'll even need them- go figure?! I love the feeling of having another child 'potty-trained'. I don't care for potty-training. I actually dread having to do it. It was just such a relief that he was so easy. I hope Noah will be the same way in a couple of years. :)
Noah is doing great! He is pushing close to 13 pounds. We went and saw his pediatrician today and he was VERY happy with his progress. He says he is developmentally right on target. He just needs to gain a few more pounds to be on target with his weight. I'm hoping that by next month he'll be on the charts for his weight. He already is for his height and head circumference. It doesn't help that my babies are usually low on the charts for their weight anyway, and being he has had a major problem in this area we'll see how soon he can gets on. I told Tim (my hubby) that he'll probably end up being our biggest baby...lol! 
Well, that about sums up what's been going on in my life. I hope I can get back here again sooner than it took me this time. We'll see, maybe something exciting will happen soon...who knows?! :)
Here's a random picture of my silly boys.
