8月26日 Winding down.....or is it?So are you still with me loyal following? You know all one of you? You still around? Or have you given up on the wayward blog of me? I had forgotten about it, blame adult ADD or simply being busy, I'm not sure which is more th culprit. Oh the things that have happened. Nothing of huge importance but so many days that were heart full days. It's been a busy summer. We renewed our vows, were in newspapers all over the local area and had a blast plain and simple. I think the next big thing after that was our move. Oh wait, we went to six flags and the zoo in St. Louis with Gramma Crazy and my Nother Brother and his family. It was so much fun. We stayed at the same hotel and then did everything together. I must say it is something that needs to be repeated often I think everybody enjoyed themselves and honestly I can't think of a better way to experience a zoo than with a gaggle of children! Okay then we came back and moved....yep we moved 6 blocks and it wonked out our phone and internet for several weeks. But now all that is settled and we are comfy and snug in our new home. The house we lived in before was roughly 1100sqft and this new place is 2 stories and about 2200sqft so needless to say we have much more room!! Kunk stayed with us during our move and without him I surely would have lost my mind. He entertained children and prodded me on as I would be near giving up. It was great fun although terribly exhausting. We have an attached 2 1/2 car garage that is coming in handy for playing when it's raining out. We have a fenced in backyard that is slightly sloped and small but before we had nothing so we adore our slopey small yard muchly! The kids have a sandbox and their toys out back and they have been playing out when we've not been rained out....er in....er when it's not rainy outside :) how's that? Smarta is going to homeschool again this year and we purchased her curriculum last night. So this year will hold Spelling, Grammar, Science, History, Math and a Bible Study/Devotion Daily. I think we may integrate with the public school and see if she can attend music and art classes with them and then segue into mainstream schooling next year if that feels good to her. On another note she's found a series of books that she thoroughly enjoys. It's the Disney Fairys series and she's read 2 of them and is into her 3rd. I love to see the ferocity for reading (is that a word? lol it's late and i like it whether it's a real word or not so there!) that I used to have. She reads at least a chapter a day but often times will ask if she can read more, I love that she asks because she wants to make sure she wont "run out" of book! She is growing up so quickly.....I dont remember how she got this big, I adore the spirit of who she is. Albeit sometimes mouthy! She is gentle and thoughtful and just flat out nifty. Ballio is almost 3 THREE!! We are hedging out of the baby stage of parenting and into the growning up big kid stages. He is starting to potty train and it's completely self led, we are in no hurry and dont mind letting him take the lead. He's woken up several times in the middle of the night to come tell me he has to potty (oh the joy at 2 am) and during the day he starts to go and then realizes he needs the potty. So it's baby steps for my big guy! He is so strong and smart. He can ride his sisters bike (which bonks her knees because she's gotten so tall this summer!) and loves to play outside. He's not disturbed in the least to have dirty from stem to stern and delights in playing with his toys in his new big boy room. He even picks up his room at night, which is so cool! Both kids tidy and tickle their teeth w/little to no help. He is also sleeping on his own with out being rocked to sleep which is a huge step. He'd been rocked to sleep his entire life and we've transitioned into him doing story time and prayers and falling asleep on his own. *SIGH* My babeis are not babies any longer.....part of me enjoys the celebration of reaching new milestones and a small part of me longs for the midnight nursing and holding the entire sum of their being in the crook of my arm.........I guess that pretty much sums up motherhood huh? 引用通告此日志的引用通告 URL 是： http://adventuresinmotherhood.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!79371AC83ACBBA8D!176.trak 引用此项的网络日志
